I first encountered Paul Reed Smith when I bought an SE Custom 24 during my time at vocational school. At TCGAKKI, I’ve handled a wide range of models—from Private Stock to 1980s vintage—and have truly experienced the appeal of Paul Reed Smith.
With a sound and specifications that arguably laid the foundation for "high-end guitars," and a design that perfectly balances playability and a sense of luxury, PRS 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 beautiful wood finish—reminiscent of fine furniture—have been carried forward to this day.
Appeal | Why Does PRS Continue to Captivate Musicians?
No matter which era of music you look at, there are artists who use Paul Reed Smith instruments.
I believe one of the major reasons for this is that he respects the opinions of players and incorporates them into his instruments.
The flagship Custom 24 model has undergone numerous specification changes over the years and offers a wide variety of parts and combinations, including pickups.
In recent years, the lineup has expanded to include entry-level and mid-range models like the CE and SE, appealing to a wide range of artists. One of the appeals of Paul Reed Smith is that it continues to evolve alongside the artists.
Features | This is the essence of the PRS sound
Paul Reed Smith guitars possess a distinct individual character while still being versatile enough to suit a wide range of sound-shaping needs.
Of course, it’s equipped with a diverse control system, including coil-tap functionality, but I also feel that its quick response and ability to accurately convey picking nuances
is one of the true joys of playing a Paul Reed Smith.
How to Choose | From Your First Guitar to a Custom Masterpiece | How to Choose a PRS
Paul Reed Smith offers an extremely wide range of models, but at the heart of it all is the Custom 24.
It’s perfect for rock, of course, but with the right settings, 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 recommended choice not only for serious guitarists but also for those just starting out.
