' Stevensville, MD (September 30, 2009) -- In a surprising announcement at Experience PRS, PRS Guitars discontinued 13 models and a number of finish options in their product line. This year, the company is celebrating their 25th anniversary, and is releasing 11 new 25th anniversary models.
"We're coming to the end of an era," said Paul at the Experience PRS press conference. "Within a year from now, almost everything we make except artist models will have been changed...almost like when Marshall when from small logo to large logo, or when Fender went from blackface to silverface, though I hope not with those long term connotations," Smith said with a smile.
The new models feature a new headstock design that departs from the Paul Reed Smith signature. The 25th anniversary models feature a silhouette of the company's famous eagle symbol with a small "25th" logo.
The models discontinued as of yesterday are:
Custom 22
