I first encountered Paul Reed Smith when I bought an SE Custom 24 while attending vocational school. At TCGAKKI, I’ve had the opportunity to handle a wide variety of models—from Private Stock to 1980s vintage guitars—and have truly experienced the appeal of Paul Reed Smith firsthand.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Paul Reed Smith laid the foundation for “high-end guitars.” With its sound, specifications, and designs that perfectly balance playability and luxury, it is an indispensable brand in the history of electric guitars.
I hope to share the appeal of Paul Reed Smith with all of you.

The History and Appeal of PRS
Paul Reed Smith is one of the leading electric guitar brands, alongside Fender and Gibson.
History | Tracing a Great History | From the Early Days to the Present
Paul Reed Smith, who had been crafting instruments for professional musicians since the 1970s, founded the company in 1985.
The Custom 24, one of PRS’s signature models, has been part of the lineup since 1985, and its distinctive archtop design and wood finishes—as beautiful as fine furniture—have been carried forward to this day.
Appeal | Why Does PRS Continue to Captivate Musicians?
No matter which era of music you explore, you’ll find artists who use Paul Reed Smith instruments.
I believe one of the major reasons for this is that the company respects the feedback of players and incorporates it into its instruments.
The flagship Custom 24 model has undergone continuous specification updates and offers a wide variety of variations and combinations for parts such as pickups.
In recent years, entry-level and mid-range lineups—such as the CE and SE series—have been added, broadening the brand’s appeal to a wider range of artists. One of the key attractions of Paul Reed Smith is its commitment to continuously evolving alongside its artists.
Features | The True Essence of the PRS Sound
Paul Reed Smith guitars possess a distinct individual character while still adapting to a wide range of sound-shaping needs.
Not only are they equipped with versatile control systems like coil-tap functionality, but I also feel that their quick attack and ability to accurately convey the nuances of picking are
among the true joys of playing a Paul Reed Smith.
How to Choose | From Your First Guitar to a Carefully Selected Masterpiece | How to Choose a PRS
Paul Reed Smith offers an extremely wide range of models, but at the heart of the lineup is the Custom 24.
It’s perfect for rock, of course, but depending on how you adjust the controls, it can also produce mellow sounds like jazz, making it incredibly versatile.
The Custom 24 lineup also includes more affordable models like the CE24 and SE Custom 24, making it a great choice not only for serious guitarists but also for those just starting out.
