Ask Paul Reed Smith Anything – Q&A with the Man Behind the Brand
We Asked. You Asked. Paul Answered.
What happens when you give the PRS community a chance to speak directly to the founder? A video packed with insight, storytelling, and a whole lot of personality.
In our new video Ask Paul Reed Smith Anything, we sat Paul down with a printout of your questions, and let the cameras roll. No script, no teleprompters, just Paul being Paul!
You asked about:
- How PRS guitars are made
- Why certain models sound the way they do
- Artist stories from over the years
- The future of tone, pickups, and design
- …and even what keeps Paul inspired after all these years
This Q&A format gave us something special, an honest, informal, and often humorous glimpse into the mind of the man who started it all. It’s the kind of video you’ll want to watch with a coffee, a notepad, or maybe even a PRS guitar in your lap.
Video Highlights:
• 20+ minutes of answers, reflections, and behind-the-scenes stories
• Paul reading and responding to each fan-submitted question
• On-screen text for each new question so you can follow along easily
• Highlights shared as Shorts and Reels for quick, impactful clips
