Published on 11/28/11 at 11:41Paul Reed Smith guitars hard really well known for their exotic woods and they're extremely well built and crafted sounding instruments. Most of their guitars are able to branch across genre to genre of music. I've heard their guitars play effortlessly from country all the way up to drop tuning metal guitar sounds. They are one of the most extremely versatile instruments out there and one of the most reputable and recognized guitar manufactures in the world.

SOUNDS
This guitar has a tone and warmth that is very soothing with a good overdrive pedal or high gain amplifier. This guitar features mahogany wood with a rosewood fretboard and has a very thick and warm tone. If you are used to the Gibson guitar such as Gibson Les Paul, Explore, or SG guitars then you're going to fit right in with these guitars as well. These guitars have a little bit higher and better clarity humbucker pickups than I've ever found in a Gibson guitar. It has a nice thick wide neck which gives a nice sustained and juicy tone with high gain amplifier. If you're using Marshall, Mesa Boogie, or any other high gain amplifier then these guitars will get you a very solid thick and juicy tone.
OVERALL OPINION
If you're a fan of Mark Tremonti, Alter Bridge, or Creed than this is probably going to be a guitar that you can lean towards. However if your not into signature gear PRS does makeLles Paul style guitars which are very similar to this without the signature on top of the guitar price. So therefore if you're into Mark and his sounds than this is probably a good fit for you, if not, PRS does offer many other guitars at competitive prices.
