In 1985 Paul Reed Smith officially opened PRS Guitars offering a limited number of guitar models. Throughout the years, these instruments gradually changed the walls of guitar shops with their figured maple tops and eye-catching stains. Now, PRS Guitars core amplifier line will continue that tradition with an upgraded specification: curly maple fascias. These maple faceplates will come standard on all core models and be stained Charcoal for a subtle but distinctive aesthetic makeover.
