But now the guitars are highly sought after instruments. Musicians love them because of their sound. Collectors prize them for the value of the instrument. They are true collector items. The instruments are made of the wood mahogany and maple. They have highly figured tops that look like stripes from a tiger. Some models are made of Brazilian rosewood.

The finger boards are comprised of rosewood. The guitars are not only great musical instruments but they are works of art. Ted Nugent was the first big named rock star to use the Paul Reed Smith guitar. This was the start of something big for the guitar manufacturer.

When you have a big named star using your product this is a great way to get a lot of marketing publicity. The company has not looked back. Now many rock stars use this instrument on a regular basis. It is really amazing how the guitar really makes the rock star and how the rock star can make the guitar.

For those who are not in touch with the musical world they simply take for granted the guitar that is being played. They are too busy listening to the music to consider how the music is influenced by the instrument itself.

But the person who knows about guitars and what makes one different from the next can appreciate the Paul Reed Smith guitar. This guitar is responsible for some great music. If the stars of rock and roll would have used a different guitar then the song might not have been such a big hit.
