Smith originally started in Annapolis, but now his business is just across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Stevensonville, Maryland where his business is about to expand.
Here's a glimpse inside the world of Paul Reed Smith's guitar shop where hot playing guitars are born. The article writes about PRS guitars will be included in the next version of the Guitar Heroes video game. The video clip takes the viewer into Smith's Kent Island guitar shop.
