Paul Reed Smith Guitars

HISTORY OF PRS

PRS guitars are a common best seller thanks to their innovative designs, high quality builds and comfortability to play. It was Paul Reed Smith’s intent from the beginning for his guitars to have a unique edge, so he selected highly figured woods and bird shaped neck inlays to ensure that his guitars were distinct and superior to competitors. Today, The Maryland-based company now produces over 1,100 guitars per month, and imports another +2,500 SE models from Korea. Thanks to features like their signature Flamed Maple tops, comfortability, fantastic pickups and circuitry — these guitars are always going to be recognized as excellent and noticeably more refined than those made by their competitors. Year after year, PRS has continued to gain recognition and has risen to become one of the top three guitar builders worldwide thanks to signature models like the PRS Silver Sky, SE Custom 24, Santana & Hollowbody Standard.

“We don’t do something just because that’s the traditional way. If the best possible guitar results from using a robot for one procedure and a lot of handsanding or hand-inlaying for another, then that’s how we do it. Our tradition is a byproduct of our quality, so excellence is always the goal. We never lose sight of that.” - Paul Reed Smith
