PRS Electric Guitars

Paul Reed Smith electric guitars built their reputation on high quality, hand-built instruments that have made serious statements on stages worldwide. What began as an intense hobby has grown into an internationally respected and revered name in the world of music. PRS was founded in 1985 by Paul Reed Smith, a college student and musician with a knack for building great instruments.  These guitars were so impressive that they caught the eye of Carlos Santana, who began playing one of them. From here, the company began expanding, producing guitars with, as someone once put it, "an elegant, modern, vintage-inspired design--the kind of guitar one might have expected Fenders and Gibsons to evolve into."

Today, PRS electric guitars are the instrument of choice for guitarists from all different walks of life. Keith Urban, Dave Navarro, Donna Grantis, Neal Schon, Pat Travers, Tim Mahoney, Mitch Allen, Vince Neil, and more all strap on PRS guitars when they are ready to hit the stage.

In recent years, production of PRS guitars has ramped up in an effort to get these gorgeous instruments in the hands of everyone from beginners to professionals. If you're taking your first steps into the world of electric guitars, the introductory SE line of PRS guitars will be perfect for you. Options such as the SE Santana Electric Guitar or the SE Tim Mahoney Electric Guitar are perfect instruments to learn and grow on, while if you're interested in learning on a seven string, try the SE 7-String Flame Maple Top Electric Guitar.

If you are a more experienced player or a professional looking to add to their arsenal, PRS guitars are still your best bet.
