The Best And The Worst Koa Private Stock Videos

So, I'm now the owner of PRS Private Stock #4031. It's a remarkable koa-topped DGT with koa birds inlaid into the fingerboard and headstock.

I found a great video featuring this guitar, and made a terrible one. First, GC's video which shows the amazing top and typical Private Stock attention to detail:

Ooh... so upscale, such a furniture guitar, you know the drill. Now we have something I recorded with Patrick tonight. Sorry for the clipping, the rough performance, the approximation of the solo. It was well past the time that I've sworn to my neighbor I'll turn down the amp. The amp, by the way, was a MESA Boogie "King Snake" with a Spaceman Mercury III for clean boost on the solo. More on that later.

It's a reasonable question to ask why I put so many music videos up on this site. There are a few reasons to do it, mostly having to do with showing off these fabulous instruments, but the primary driver behind it is to just show that I don't spend 100% of my time being a complete prick to people, bump-drafting in races, correcting the grammar of innocent bystanders, and so on. I like playing music and although I wish I'd never given it up when I was younger, so I'd be good at it now, I don't really care.

A few years ago a "friend" of mine put some stuff I'd recorded up on the Vortex and was all like "LOL AT THIS GUISE". Not everybody LOLed. Some people did. My response to him is simple: this was the least competent thing I do on a regular basis, and he's no better at anything he does with his life than I am at playing the guitar. Oh, and I hope he dies alone. Which he's going to. If I have anything to say about it.

Just kidding about that last part!
