SEPTEMBER 2025
NOW IN THE COMMUNITY GALLERY
“40 Years of PRS Guitars: A Journey of Tone” is the latest community gallery exhibit that celebrates the founding of Maryland-based guitar manufactory, PRS Guitars. From Paul Reed Smith’s first workshop in a historic Annapolis garret on West Street, to his state-of-the-art factory across the Chesapeake Bay in Stevensville, Maryland, the PRS Guitars story is one of remarkable determination and a passion for excellence in guitar making. The exhibit shares the company’s 40-year evolution and how it continues to amplify the music world as the third largest electric guitar manufacturer in the United States.
In addition to an actual PRS guitar, visitors can observe a video loop showing the behind-the-scenes manufacturing process, as well as historical ephemera and materials used to construct their unique guitars. Come visit and immerse yourself in the musical journey!
