PRS Guitars is an American guitar manufacturer headquartered in Stevensville, Maryland, founded by guitarist and luthier Paul Reed Smith in 1985.
The standard design of PRS guitars is like that of the Fender Stratocaster, though usually they are equipped with humbuckers. PRS has a reputation as a builder of high-end guitars made in the US of relatively expensive wood, though since the 1990s they have expanded production to Asia, where they build cheaper guitars. One of PRS's most notable endorsers is Carlos Santana.

Famous quotes containing the word guitars:
“Even now she does the snake-hips with a hiss,
Slops the bad wine across her shantung, talks
Of pregnancy, guitars and bridgework, walks
In parks or alleys, comes haply on the verge
Of happiness, haply hysterics. Is.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
