A great guitarist named Luther Paul Reed Smith is the man who made and came up with the very first PRS Paul Reed Smith Guitars. He lend them to famous players like Santana and with the apparent like of these models and the want for them started PRS Guitars in Stevensville a town in Maryland.
A small town in Maryland is were these magnificent works of art are made. The looks of each of these models are unique and they all have the craftsmanship of higher end custom edge designs.
The bodies of PRS models are usually made of brilliant and strong mahogany. The beautiful maple forms the tops on most all designs. To add in a flair of rock and roll maple figured tops are designed into what look like tiger stripes.
Other tops can be customized with maple quilt and flame. A special and exotic wood called korina is used on a very small few to craft PRS bodies. The necks on most models are crafted of mahogany.
Rosewood gives the look of true high quality styling on the necks of a select few as most of them have mahogany ones. The fingerboards are crafted of the exquisite rosewood also.
The fret markers have birds on the high end and moons on the low end. Shells of iridescent colors, stones that are semi-precious, ivory, gold and abalone are also used to make them unique inlaid in the fret markers.
The bridges which are added onto theses models consist of either, one piece stop tail pre-intonated, vibrato, wrap over tailpiece and pre-intonated stop tail. Some of your favorite rock guitarists actually have one or more of these crafted beauties.
Accents that add even more dramatic effects in the finishes are done by a process of popping its grain. This special staining gives the look of three dimensions and creates trendy colors and looks. A popular one is the burst translucent.
Paul Reed Smith Guitars also has great looking and sounding Student Edition models or as they are known SE models. These are still extremely good looking but the materials are of a lesser quality and are manufactured in Korea.
