Guitar Story
Through the 2020s, Paul Reed Smith Guitars (PRS) controlled the PRS name, and 3 plants built it: PRS Stevensville (Kent Island), PRS building at PT Cort, Ngoro and Cor-Tek China (PRS; city unverified).[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
5 eras touch the 2020s across 4 lines. Nothing changed inside the decade, so every PRS from these years is the same version on its line.
