Guitarists who use PRS

PRS is an American manufacturer that produces electric guitars and electric basses.

The company name comes from the initials of its founder, Paul Reed Smith.

PRS guitars are often said to combine the best features of Gibson’s Les Paul and Fender’s Stratocaster, and they are favored by many professional players.

This time, we will introduce some of those guitarists.
