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.

Hoobastank is an American alternative metal band.

PRS guitars have supported the guitar sound behind many of their hit songs.

Dustie Waring, the guitarist of the prog metal band Between the Buried and Me, is such a skilled player that he has a signature model with PRS.

In the video, he’s playing a red signature model with a Floyd Rose, tuned down a whole step and a half.

Both of his hands move with zero wasted motion—it’s mesmerizing to watch.

I attended their Japan show in 2016, and the accuracy of the performance was astounding.
