PRS Guitars

PRS Guitars are a brand of high end electric guitars from Maryland, USA. Originally designed and built by luthier Paul Reed Smith, PRS guitars are seen as a luxury guitar brand. Since they were first displayed at the 1985 NAMM show, they have proven to be big hit guitars that have become a modern classic like the Custom 22 and Custom 24.

Paul Reed Smith guitars has been providing quality instruments from day 1 and have only gone on to become a global brand particularly with the introduction of the SE models which are affordable, very high quality instruments, putting a PRS guitar into the hands of many more players. The SE models were originally designed as "Student Edition" models but they are relied on by many pro musicians and even include signature models from the likes of Mark Tremonti, Ted McCarty and Carlos Santana.

The launch of the PRS Silver Sky and SE Silver Sky have also been released as signature guitars of John Mayer. Paul Reed Smith guitars have found a strong following from players looking for top quality instruments with tones to match. They are particularly famous for their incredibly figured wood tops and exotic colours. Popular choices include green and grey guitars. PRS use their own hand-wound pickups and tremolo systems designed by Smith.

PRS guitars have always been at the forefront of new technologies in the guitar industry from manufacturing to pickups allowing the brand to bring quality instruments at affordable prices as well as create the ultimate tones for high end guitars. In recent years signature guitars such as the bolt on style Silver Sky, built for John Mayer, have used all the technology PRS have developed over the years to create an instrument that stays true to the guitars rich heritage while creating something new and fresh.
