“We want to invite our community – our artists, players, fans, and dealers and distributors – to come together with us as we celebrate the start of a new year that we believe is full of excitement for PRS players,” Smith added in a statement for the virtual event. “Guitar playing has always been a source of joy, and we are thankful to have been part of that in 2020.
