Have you ever wished you could meet the man whose name is on every PRS headstock? If you’ll be in the Chicago area next month, on Monday, May 6, head to Chicago Music Exchange for a clinic with the luthier!

Perhaps the world’s most renowned living electric guitar luthier today, PRS Guitars founder Paul Reed Smith has grown his eponymous brand name since 1985 with eye-catching, exceedingly playable, and superbly crafted designs.

Following decades of catapulting his eponymous brand into the highest echelons of the electric guitar world with PRS lines manufactured in Stevensville, Maryland—including PRS Core, Wood Library, Private Stock, and S2 lines—guitarists can now access Paul Reed Smith’s signature innovations with PRS SE models, made overseas models according to the luthier’s specifications to offer an entry-level price point to PRS Guitars.

Join us in our showroom on Monday, May 6, to learn more about the man behind all the PRS guitar, pedal, and amplifier lines available at CME, as well as the manufacturing processes he employs, both at the PRS Stevensville factory and overseas!
