Memories - All We Make (Your first trip to PRS)

[jfb]

What's happening kids?! I have been using Google Photos for years and have really been digging the new features. The app was kind enough to remind me of my first PRS trip which was 4 years ago, almost to the day. I thought I'd share a few photos from that trip and encourage those of you who have been to share a photo or memory from your first trip as well. If you are you thinking about visiting the area for any reason I highly suggest it. Make your memory!

The reminder Google gave me of the trip.

The fuel of MD as we approached Vault day. Bonus points of you can name the location of the Guinness and Jameson pictures.

Finally, Vault day! Crossing the bridge for the time. Seeing the factory and Vault. So much fun.

Great pictures, and I'm sure, great memories! Thank you for posting.
I for one, will have to live vicariously through your trip to Maryland as I cannot get off work to go to pick my wood, or meet the fine people that are PRS.

They look like great memories, i haven't been to Maryland (yet, maybe someday) but I have been to the Guinness brewery and Jameson distillery

Nice!

My first and only trip to PRS was last year for the 30th Anniversary event. I didn't go to pick woods for my PS guitars.

I had a great time - fun meeting you, JFB - but alas, I completely forgot to take one single pic!

I sincerely hope that could be me in a couple of years time, and as for the Guinness
I'll be all over that like a rash!!! Thanks for sharing.

In 4 years for my 50th Bday my wife is getting me a PS build, I cannot wait for the day i go and pick out my woods.

Talk about anticipation! You must be pumped. 4 years might be long enough to choose a color.

Congrats Rich!

Great pictures, brother.

Pretty cool! Didn't you speck out a double neck a little while back? It should be getting close I hope!

JFB is in most of the foggy memories of my first time.

When you say "first time"...?

Uhh... My first trip to PRS, of course!

That was my favorite Experience trip of all time. Here's to 2013, the worst and the best year of my life. I'm pretty sure that's common.

It was a good year for guitars and drinkin' buddies.

Awesome.
2012 Experience was my first trip. Kid in candy store was an understatement.

Clint Lowery and myself:

Chances of a solid buzz is good:

Well, yeah, when you hang out with that kind of crowd!

My first trip was the first Experience - I met Jamie and Kingsley (and maybe a couple other folks). I called my wife from the factory and said, "I've found my people." Now I rarely drive past the exit for Stevensville without driving past the factory, even if I'm not stopping.

Stalker!

Not my 'first' trip, but one of my earliest...

The party after the 2nd (or was it the 3rd?) Unofficial PRS Forum Event, in 2001 (or was it 2002?)...

 

[jfb]

Those are some great photos Vaughn. Same to you Master Mintzer. I start getting the urge to visit the factory as August starts. Something about September makes me think MD!

 

[Mike Duncan]

Been to all the Experiences...and a couple other get togethers too!
