PRS SE Zach Myers
With an impressive performance-to-price ratio, Paul Reed Smith’s SE guitars have been knocking us dead for years. But the Zach Myers model, with its resonant chambered body, beautiful finish, and rich, even, wide-range pickups, left reviewer Joe Charupakorn struggling to find fault with the instrument. He flat-out called it “underpriced.”

In the years we’ve compiled our annual list of Premier Gear Award winners, we’ve probably never seen a list more eclectic than 2015’s. From high-gain monster amps and atmospheric reverbs to mini overdrives and wahs, 2015’s award winners covered all the bases.
As always, it was a joy to see how both big-time musical instrument industry players and little shops a step removed from the garage managed to haul in Premier Guitar’s prize for gear excellence. And if anyone’s counting, we’re pretty sure we also set a record for Premier Gear Award winners. So we hope you’re comfy—this list of primo gear may take some time to cover.
