PG's Joe Coffey is On Location in Stevensville, MD, where he sits down with Paul Reed Smith. In this video segment, we get to hear from Paul Reed Smith about discontinuing over 10 models of guitars, the new 25th Anniversary line of guitars, PRS Amps (Sweet 16, 30 and Anniversary) and the Narrow Field pickups. We even get to hear and see Paul demo the Narrow Field pickups through their newest amp head, the 50 watt Anniversary.

Joe on 03/07/2010	I appreciate the new innovations, in fact I feel it's a good thing for the industry. But I have learned that PRS guitars ultimately will only appeal to PRS fans(usually non-guitar playing rich collectors that hang their guitars on the wall). Otherwise can someone tell me why after 25 years, I can't think of a single(not even one!) record that was made with PRS guitars that held up as "the PRS record"? I'm afraid it just doesn't exist because the collectors don't care about the tone, as long as the flame tops look good.

Raoul on 12/07/2009	PRS isn't any good to me until they start accommodating left-handed players w/o an upcharge. Until they do they are even worse then Fender or Gibson.

Boog on 10/12/2009	Brilliant move, PRS. Celebrate the past but move on. Focus on the future.. no other guitar company is right now!!!!!!!!!

Stone on 10/11/2009	I attended this event with 1699 other enthusiastic musicians and/or affectionados of this truly fabulous and innovative guitar. It is truly a unique thing in an industry that truly needs this "shot in the arm." There is a completely positive vibe coming from this event that I have never experienced anywhere else. Paul Smith is a dedicated musician & inventor, who constantly strives for one thing: perfection in tone! Kudos to Paul and everyone else who made this happen. They truly show the musical world that they care about their customers and products, and are not just out to make that next corporate buck!
Reid on 10/10/2009	Excellent interview. PRS is always exploring new ways to capture just the right tones from his guitars. I hope they have another Experience event next year; I'm glad he took the "risk" to have the event. Alot of us missed out this time.
Buck2004 on 10/10/2009	Change is inevitable. You can't let your product sit and just be or you will be yesterday's news. You have to work your craft and improve or discover a new "thing". PRS does just that. And does not rest on it's laurels. Keep it up. PRS.
Ryan on 10/09/2009	This is a great example of how PRS guitars are in the business of making guitars unlike Gibson and Fender who have survived on and constantly reissue the same two or three models. Rock on for change PRS!
