00:00What's up guitar world, I'm Sophie Burrell, I'm a guitarist from the UK and this is my beloved PRS
00:05Custom 24 Wood Library. It's a 2014 model, it has a mahogany body and it's got a flame maple neck
00:11which is one of the prettiest necks I've ever seen in my whole life and it's got this kind of
00:16like
00:16very gorgeous top that's in between a quilt and a flame. Honestly I've kept everything in its stock
00:21because it has everything that I want. I genuinely don't really want to make any mods to it at all.
00:25If when I get a signature guitar it would be this in a different colour. We definitely got some
00:30battle scars along the way, this one in particular hurt me big time when it happened. Backstory as to
00:35how I acquired this guitar is actually very special and quite unique. I've been playing guitar a very
00:39long time since I was like nine years old and I started creating content really when I was about
00:4414 and I was a member of this group on Facebook called PRS Guitar Owners Worldwide and I used to
00:50post little videos of me playing in there. One of the owners in there saw it, at that time I
00:54was just
00:55playing an SE and said I want to support you, you're great, I think you deserve to be playing
00:59on a USA model not just an SE. So he kind of gave me a choice out of a few
01:03of his different models
01:04and kind of lent towards giving this one and I was like whatever you want, whatever you want I'll take
01:09it, it sounds good. I could not believe my eyes when it actually showed up. I'm endlessly grateful to
01:14Al who gifted this guitar to me and I believe I would not be the player I am today without
01:18that. I can't
01:19actually put into words why this guitar is my favourite but it just feels like an extension of me. As
01:24soon as I
01:24picked it up for the first time it's always felt that way and I've just immediately clicked with
01:29it. I play my best on this guitar, I feel most at home, I come up with my best ideas
01:33on this guitar.
01:33At this point it kind of feels like it's part of myself. It might be controversial but I don't name
01:37my guitars. I've never done that and I probably never will. I'm just not much of a name your guitars
01:42type of person. I name motorbikes but not guitars. So yeah thanks guitar world, that's all about me and my
01:47PRS
01:48custom 24.
01:49you
