2016 PRS IMSA Trophy Guitars are exclusively made for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and are awarded to each overall winning team entrant for each WeatherTech Championship race. Winning entrants in each class of Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup races also receive Trophy Guitars. The PRS IMSA Trophy Guitar is based on the company’s popular SE Singlecut Custom 22 model and features the IMSA logo accented with racing stripes on a striking Cherry Red finish. Played by internationally touring artists, gigging musicians, and aspiring players, the SE Custom features a maple top, mahogany back, wide thin maple neck, rosewood fretboard with bird inlays. The SE HFS and SE Vintage Bass pickups with volume, and a three-way pickup selector provide a bevy of versatile sounds making it a perfect workhorse guitar.

Most trophies spend their lives proudly on display in a prominent location.

There’s one award, though, that begs to be picked up and played.Paul Reed Smith (PRS) Guitars awarded the winning overall team at each TUDOR United SportsCar Championship race a custom-built guitar based on the PRS SE Singlecut, as the company continued a tradition that dates back to GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series races since 2010.Custom guitars were also awarded to the class winners at each of the four PatrÃ³n Endurance Cup events, for a total of 25 guitars at 13 victory lane celebrations. In addition, guitars were presented to the Grand Sport and Street Tuner champions of the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge.The PRS Guitar makes a unique photo opportunity – allowing winning racers a momentary opportunity to feel like rock stars.But what happens to the guitars after their moments in the victory lane spotlight?“My PRS guitars are up on the wall,” said Bob Johnson, owner of the Action Express Racing, which celebrated both the TUDOR Championship and PatrÃ³n Endurance Cup titles this year. “We’re putting them to good use. They’re great trophies, very nice guitars. I’ve got two on display at the office and another at my house. My youngest son Chris plays, but told me not to play mine – it will be more valuable that way.”Both of the Action Express Racing’s Prototype champion drivers picked up their own guitars this season.“I’ve had a couple of guitar lessons, but they’re not going well,” Joao Barbosa admitted.“Mine is at my nephew’s house – and he plays it seriously,” Christian Fittipaldi said.Multi-time Rolex Series championship-winning car owner Chip Ganassi picked up his share of instruments over the years. He added a few new guitars to his collection this year from his team’s TUDOR Championship victories at Sebring and Austin.“Chip keeps most of the guitars awarded to our team, and all of them are hung up on display in his lobby,” said driver Scott Pruett, who managed to win one of his own. “I have a custom Rolex 24 guitar that’s very cool.“It’s signed by Paul Reed Smith. I have it on display, but it definitely gets used. I’m not a guitar player, although I hope to someday learn how to play. My brother in law can play, and he raves about how incredible the PRS guitars are.”Wayne Taylor is another team owner with a large collection of guitars, owing to his No. 10 Corvette DP team’s many successes over the years.“I’ve won at least 15 of them,” Wayne Taylor said. “Most of them are hanging on the wall of my trophy room next to some of our helmets and uniforms – mine, the kids and Max (Angelelli). I’m taking the ones we won at Detroit and Petit Le Mans [this year] and mounting those in our TV room upstairs.”His sons, Ricky and Jordan Taylor, each have a guitar on display at their homes. Ricky took online guitar lessons for several months in an attempt to master the instrument before permanently consigning his instrument to his trophy case.“Ricky at least tried playing his, but not me, that would be very dangerous,” Wayne Taylor said.While Spirit of Daytona team owner Troy Flis does not play guitar, three of the four instruments awarded to the No. 90 VisitFlorida.com Corvette DP have been used professionally.“Those Guys, a band from St. Augustine [Florida], have used our guitars on stage for at least one set on several occasions,” Flis said. “Walt Kulwicki, their guitarist, really likes them. I’ve given guitars that I won in the past to drivers Antonio Garcia and Richard Westbrook, and kept one for myself. I’m looking forward to loaning the guitar we won this year at Watkins Glen to Walt the next time Those Guys plays in the area.”Jon Bennett earned seven guitars between CORE autosport’s Prototype Challenge and GT Le Mans programs, and he’s sharing the wealth with the team. He gave the Rolex 24 At Daytona award to his son, who wants to learn how to play guitar.\"It was a happy coincidence that my son Austin had expressed an interest in learning to play guitar around the time we won Daytona, so the first guitar went to him and he\'s taken some lessons,” Bennett said. “The rest of the guitars we\'ve handed out to individuals on the team who were critical to those victories.\"PRS President Jack Higginbotham feels the partnership between racing and music is a natural.“We are passionate about guitars and cars and love bringing our craft into the racing community,” Higginbotham said. “We’ve always seen a connection between our high performance, quality instruments and the machines used in professional sports car racing. There’s nothing better than seeing a driver or team owner rocking the PRS trophy guitar from the winner’s podium. IMSA’s passion and creativity makes them our obvious partner in motorsports.”Magnus Racing car owner John Potter has big plans for his instruments.“I’ve won three of them, and still have them all in their boxes,” Potter said. “I bought an acrylic case to store them, and I plan to hang them on my office wall. I’m sure everyone will ask if I play. I don’t, but I still like them.
