The Prs Guitar Book: A Complete History of Paul Reed Smith Guitars
Editorial Reviews
Vintage Guitar Magazine, February 2000
"Smith is the only manufacturer so far to successfully blend the design characteristics of the Les Paul and Stratocaster guitars into a wholly new and different model that borrows from both, but copies neither.... This book is a fitting tribute to a company which has, in a short time, come to symbolize a quality alternative to the 'big two' American electric guitar manufacturers."

Book Description
Paul Reed Smith began building custom guitars in the late 1970s for players ranging from Ted Nugent to Carlos Santana. Now updated in paperback, this lush volume documents the latest developments at PRS - including the introduction of the Singlecut and Santana SE models - and showcases the stunning designs, technical innovations and ingenious workmanship of this cutting-edge company. Punctuating an anecdotal narrative, rich color photos showcase the Smith-signed Signature models, exquisite inlaid Dragons, Santanas and many more, plus PRSÕ renowned use of the finest maple woods to create stunning "flame-top" and "quilt-top" effects. The first to tell SmithÕs entire story, this handsome paperback is an unparalleled treasure. Packed with collector details and specs. 9-7/8 inch. x 12-1/2 inch., 142 pages, hundreds of color photos.
