    FAQ

    • Can I bring my guitar? YES! But... please be mindful we have VERY limited space and are not responsible for any lost or broken instruments. It might be a better idea to just bring a backplate if you want Paul Reed Smith to sign something.
    • Will there be food/drink? No, and please do not bring your own food or drink besides water, there will be many people and we want to keep our beautiful showroom mess-free.
    • Will you have PRS Amps? Yes! We will have several various amps, hopefully our J-MOD will still be in stock for the event.
    • Do I need to be present to win the guitar? Yes, the drawing will happen promptly at 8:45pm on the day of the event. See full giveaway terms here.
    • All other questions, please email us at ishgtrs@gmail.com
