Guitar Maker PAUL REED SMITH To Guest On Rockline
February 5, 2008, 16 years ago
PAUL REED SMITH, one of the world's premier luthiers and the founder of PRS Guitars, is scheduled to appear on the US nationally syndicated radio show Rockline with host Bob Coburn on Wednesday, February 13th at 8:30pm PT / 11:30pm ET.
According to Wikipedia, Smith, who would often bring his guitars backstage at concerts, eventually got his break when Derek St. Holmes, of the TED NUGENT BAND, agreed to try out #2, the second guitar Smith had ever made. St. Holmes played the guitar for the first few songs of his set, and Smith told him that after he showed it to some other musicians, he would fly out to Detroit and give it to him. St. Holmes eventually sold the guitar for $200, not realizing how big Paul Reed Smith was going to get.
