For the second consecutive year, PRS Guitars is teaming up with the Vans Warped Tour presented by Journeys. As the exclusive acoustic guitar of the summer-long festival, PRS Guitars will be activating in Warped’s Acoustic Basement at 40+ concert events this summer, starting on June 17 in Anchorage, Alaska, traversing the USA, and culminating in a final concert on August 8 in Auburn, WA. PRS also has planned a special appearance at the July 18 Columbia, Maryland event where the Maryland guitar manufacturer plans to let concert goers see and play a variety of PRS Acoustic guitars including the newly introduced SE A10E and SE Alex Lifeson signature acoustics.
“We are thankful for our partnership with PRS Guitars and recognize their involvement with, and encouragement of, young artists. Together, we are building a foundation for musicians of the future,” stated Kevin Lyman, founder and producer of the Vans Warped Tour.
Made with high quality components, including all-mahogany body construction, bone nuts and saddles, and PRS designed SE tuners, the new SE A10E guitars are highly reliable and comfortable to play. The SE A10E shares the same bracing pattern and several distinct construction features as PRS’s Maryland-made acoustic line, as well as the company’s trademark bird inlays and headstock design. The Angelus Cutaway body shape provides easy access to the upper frets. These guitars come standard with under-saddle electronics that are accessible via the soundhole with both tone and volume controls.
“The A10E adds a new option to our SE Angelus line at a great price point for players looking to add an affordable, reliable acoustic to their arsenal. All-mahogany acoustics have long been a great tool for musicians. They are known for their straightforward tone, which is perfect for players looking for a guitar that is easy to mic or that will fit well into a mix that is getting a range of tones from other instruments. Have a solo gig in a small to medium-sized club? The strong fundamental that these guitars provide is rich, smooth and full of sustain – perfect for that application and many others,” said Jack Higginbotham, president, PRS Guitars.
Concert goers looking to get a break from the sun and the high decibels of the main stage can visit the Acoustic Basement for intimate acoustic performances by Brian Marquis, Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties, Koji, Pvris, SayWeCanFly and more. While there, fans are sure to hear the sounds of PRS SE steel string acoustics. SE acoustics will also be used for lessons and demonstrations at the TEI educational space on the Vans Warped Tour festival grounds.
