His electric guitars are played by the likes of Alex Lifeson, Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola, Dave Navarro, Mark Tremonti, Mikael Akerfeldt, Peter Lindgren, Steven Wilson, Tim Mahoney, Marcus Curiel, and Larry Lalonde.
PRS's innovations in scale length, construction methods, trem refinements, pickup design and esthetics have helped to redefine the electric guitar. This is his story.
