a bolt on neck RR and a neck thru RG? those guitars are not famous for that, sorry

Hold on, folks - that RR is a BOLT-ON! Impossible to draw any conclusions now about all guitars sounding similar regardless of their shape, pickups, or construction, which was the point the OP was making! Burn the video!

OP - very cool video. Thank you.

everyone should have one humbucker, p90 and single coil guitar in the arsenal seems to be the lesson here

you didnt get the point,

RR and RG are classic metal guitars that i personally love and to me they have a particular "famous" tone and imo they didnt get the right ones for the video to compare with classic strats, pauls,etc

and this have more to do with the youtube video title than the OP

of course that can be irrelevant to others and you can still enjoy the video, peace

the problem with this video is the tone of the guitar previous to the next one clouds your perception of the tone...example a strat right after a les paul will of course sound very bright which in tune will make the PRS sound dull and muddy, but if you had the les paul then the PRS you would hear it differently

To get anything out of this you would need to isolate the guitars you wanted to compare and play them one after the other and then flip that around and play them in the reverse order

I think you're generally correct that the order makes a difference. But, also, I think that PRS just happens to sound dull and muddy. Click back and forth between the Les Paul and the PRS without the strat in the middle and you'll see the strat isn't coloring your perception as much as you might think.

That was a great vid!
To me that EBMM topped it all.
But I’m sure that was just at his settings.

yep did that and yeah the PRS is certainly lacking something

Cool vid! Surprisingly, I liked the musicman the best for the cleans, I figured it would be the strat. Wasn't a fan of the Marshall tones near the end, but I again was surprised; I liked the Gretsch the best, and again had figured it would be the musicman or les paul i would like best! Kinda makes me wish I had more guitars to be able to do something similar with different tones...
