PRS Guitars recently added two new baritone guitars, the new SE 277 Semi Hollow Soapbar and the SE 277, to its bevy of more affordable guitar model options. Tuned B to B, two and a half steps below standard, the two new baritones offer a taut muscular low end, with powerful aggressive tones and flexibility of going from chimey clean, to warm depth, to articulate tonal hostility.

PRS Guitars is pleased to introduce three new S2 Standard Satin models as part of its 2016 model year announcements: the S2 Standard 22 Satin, S2 Standard 24 Satin, and S2 Singlecut Satin.

On the evening of Saturday, October 10th, Paul Reed Smith Guitars will host the 16th Annual One Night One Show One Cause Benefit Concert, for the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. This year’s event will take place at the Modell Center for the Performing Arts at the Lyric in Downtown Baltimore, Maryland, and will feature an exclusive performance by Paul Rodgers and his band.

To know Paul Reed Smith, the working founder and Managing General Partner of PRS Guitars, is to know a man who is always pushing the proverbial envelope. His persistent desire to explore and discover is a huge part of PRS Guitars dynamism. So, when Paul and the R&D team ramped up their dissection and testing of pickups a couple years ago, it became very clear very quickly that something new was about to be born. Enter the PRS 58/15 pickups, introduced for PRS’s 30th Anniversary year.

PRS Guitars is adding two new models to its popular, more affordable SE guitar line: The SE Custom 22 and the SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow. These two new models continue the PRS SE legacy of providing the highest quality, dependability and value while adding new configurations to appeal to an even wider range of players.

The SE 30th Anniversary “Floyd” Custom 24 celebrates many things: 30 years of PRS, the growth that has allowed PRS to deliver quality instruments to players at the most affordable levels, and the guitar that started it all with the edgy update of a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo.

To celebrate the second anniversary of the PRS S2 Series, PRS is introducing two new metallic finishes, “Ice Blue Fire Mist” and “Egyptian Gold”, to the all-mahogany guitars in the S2 line, including the S2 Mira, Mira Semi-Hollow, Singlecut Standard, Standard 22, Standard 24, Starla and Vela.

On Friday, June 13, 2015 the Chesapeake Region Safety Council (CRSC) held its 92nd Annual Meeting at the USS Constellation Historic Ship at Pier One in Baltimore.

Other members are recognized for their exceptional level of support of CRSC through their sponsorship of activities and events.

Continuing their 30th Anniversary celebration, PRS Guitars is offering a small batch of guitars with a new inlay pattern: the 30th Anniversary Vine. Inspired in part by the PRS Tree of Life inlay designs, the 30th Anniversary Vine is an elegant inlay made from Mother of Pearl, Paua, and Paua Heart. This special inlay is being offered on two electric guitar models: the Custom 22 and newly reintroduced McCarty.
