A look at the Guitar Nine organization's platoon of P.R.S.-built guitars, amassed from 1980 through 2024. PRS guitars are the apex of luxurious musical instruments. Their achievements in both looks and sound is second to none. With a design appealing to both Gibson and Fender enthusiasts, PRS have won the hearts of many thousands of guitar players worldwide. It's been called the "P.R.S. Posh 9", but that's a narrowly overblown way of saying P.R.S. guitars are played by influential musicians such as Carlos Santana, John McLaughlin, John Mayer, Mark Tremonti, Neal Schon, Marty Friedman and David Grissom.
