Instruments are different than people. As soon as they’re born, you have a pretty good idea of
what they’re going to be for the rest of their lives. Even though a guitar does mature some, that first
moment you play it is a good indication of its innate personality and sound.
We strive to make the kind of guitar that speaks to you as soon as you pick it up, the kind of guitar
that, even though brand new and full of possibilities, somehow feels as comfortable as an old friend.
I believe that guitars that make this kind of intimate connection come only from talented designers
and craftspeople who love the long, painstaking process of creation as much as the resulting
instruments. At PRS, we love guitars. Most of us play every day. We listen, we compare, we analyze,
we debate.
And we evolve. One constant over the entire history of PRS is change, the desire to make our
already fine guitars a bit more responsive, a bit more toneful. This year, we’ve revised and improved
a lot of things. The birds are only the most obvious change. Other improvements may be subtle, and
some are unseen, but they matter. They add up.
I believe 2008 will be a landmark year for us and hope that after holding and playing and hearing
these instruments, you’ll feel the same.
If you’re looking for a professional quality, high-performance instrument, we strive to build that
guitar for you, one that makes you realize, from the moment you pick it up — this is a guitar to
cherish for a lifetime.
