Description

John’s passion for Paul Reed Smith Guitars goes back to the very beginning of the PRS story. Paul and John have been working closely together since 1979, when they first met at his one-man West Street workshop in Annapolis, MD. At that time, Paul was designing and building his first guitar for Carlos Santana. They soon began collaborating on many things related to his quest for building the ultimate guitar.

Paul knew what was wrong with various aspects of the then current guitar designs and had a vision of how to improve them, but local machine shops were not able to supply him with hardware to his specifications. Being an avid guitar player himself, and an engineer by trade, John was able to help Paul close the gap and they ultimately designed the vibrato bridge system that is now on many PRS Guitars. Paul bartered with John for some of the early design and manufacturing work with one of the very first PRS-Santana models that he built by hand himself !
