Don't lick doorknobs and stay in school
Hey all! I am currently trying to find internship opportunities at PRS and there is some explaining to why.
So, I have had a love for PRS since I visited the factory last August. I met Paul himself at a release event in Annapolis/Edgewater area in Maryland in September for a release of 6 private stocks with a "Chessie fade" finish and he talked with me himself. That was a great experience for being 14 years old. When he was doing a QnA, I asked him a question about whether the company would ever venture into solid state amps or more affordable tube amps (300-600 range excluding the MT15 and Sonzera) and pedals like what Fender was doing at the time. He said that he could see in me that I have a lot of potential and that I have a bright future ahead of me. Since then I wanted to work at PRS. He did sign my hat during a signing thing. When we were talking, he noticed my hat and said I had some good taste, and I was also wearing my graveyard series shirt and put a little cheek on and said not only the hat and he laughed at that!
Paul to me personally is one of my main inspirations and I have seen his TEDX talks and all sorts of videos about his past. Being about a 10 minute drive from his hometown in Bowie, 20 minutes to Ramshead on west street in Annapolis and can see the window of the room where he built his first guitars for Santana and Peter Frampton and others. It's inspiring to see that in just 30 years Paul was able to get the guitar down to a science.
I have already emailed the customer service asking them if they had anything open. I am primarily wanting to become an apprentice under a luthier and learn how to work on guitars and stuff like that. I also recently got a guitar kit that I am building with my dad.
Is there any chance of getting an internship or apprenticeship with PRS?
Thank you!
