Paul Reed Smith started making guitars in a Maryland workshop in ‘70s and gained popularity by walking his instruments to the dressing rooms of artists he thought should be playing them. By 1985, he opened his first factory, and the rest is history. That directness carried forward. PRS electric guitars are built with carved maple tops, hand-wired electronics on core models, and neck profiles calibrated to specific playing styles rather than standard preferences. The SE series brings the same design logic to a more accessible price point, built overseas to PRS specs.
