- Mark Tremonti is one of rock’s leading guitarists. As the guitarist of Alter Bridge and Creed, he has met extraordinary success and continues to grow as both a guitar player and songwriter. While Creed was on tour in support of their first record, My Own Prison, Mark was contacted by PRS and asked if he would like to try a guitar.
"I jumped at the idea to play one of PRS’ guitars. PRS was one of those guitars that I could never afford in high school or college and had always wanted to play one." PRS sent Mark a McCarty model which he instantly fell in love with. He played that guitar exclusively for a while, but ultimately wanted a guitar that was more suited to his playing style.
Mark Tremonti began to collaborate with PRS on his dream guitar that would soon become the Mark Tremonti Signature. He needed pickups that were a little more aggressive and could complement his rhythm playing which contains a lot of palm muting. The neck of the guitar needed to accommodate his style, influenced by thrash metal, shred, and traditional blues. PRS met these needs with the Pattern Thin neck carve.
Watch along as Mark Tremonti talks about the original development of his signature model, when he first met Paul, why there will always be a tremolo and hardtail option for the guitar, and why there’s been very little change to his signature model across 20 years.

Mark has very quickly become a favourite guitar player of mine not just for his playing ability but how genuine and humble he is as a person. A truly inspirational guitarist and when I learn anything he writes my jaw drops. I just learnt my sacrifice and it is so god dam unique without being so technical. Love your work Mark.
My fav six string gun slinger of all time. I'm an OLD AF metalhead, who loves this guy because he simply able to embody everything my metalhead and heart love about guitar and metal music; as well as being entre to other music I'd not have heard, if not for his ability to spew melody. All that to say, hats off to Mark. Much respect (especially for the professionalism and work ethic).
Same!!!
And also a huge Dimebag fan, gotta love Mark…
I love his vocals.
Wow, I’m really blown away at how earnest and grateful Mark was in this interview. Super relatable and such a cool story.
He is one of my all time favorite guitarists. Not just because he's and amazing guitar player, but just based on him being down to earth amazing person, super humble, and his desire to put as much knowledge out there.
100%
Mark Tremonti is the Best! Love his guitar playing and song writing skills. Most of all I like how Humble and Grateful he is. I have toured and you meet a lot of D-bags. And most of them haven't done anything in the music industry. Mark has went diamond. Has Signature guitar and amps. Yet he is the nicest guy. Always has time to talk to his fans. Mark is a Great example for professionals to look too.
I was contacted by a fan’s family after he passed saying he wanted to have a guitar of his given to me. Little did I know it was an incredible PRS Tremonti Core! I have never gel’d with an electric guitar like I have with this one, and it’s been an honor to carry on Jon’s instrument!
That is awesome. My best friend who taught me how to play guitar 25 years ago passed away. His family gave me his guitars and his gear.
Mark is the reason I began playing guitar, the reason PRS is my #1, and why I have purchased multiple PRS models including the Tremonti. Great person to be associated with and one hell of a musician, singer and songwriter.
Mark is a huge guy, one of my favorite players of all time and also the guy made me a PRS player. Now as a fellow PRS artist, I have the enjoy of supporting him with more love and respect. His collaboration with PRS is so well and the products come out with unique sound, comfort and character is unmatched. I'm very glad to see the MT100, my style and environment doesn't allow me to have one but certainly I would dig that when it's possible.
Thank you Mark, Paul, Bev, Travis and lastly, thank you PRS team.
Mark's a great guy. Great player/vocal and song writer. Meet him a few times and did one of his guitar classes signed a few of my guitars.
Most underrated guitarist of our time. He is now getting the recognition he deserves. He has been awesome sinve My Own Prison. Every record is aweaome riffs from begining to end. Glad he gets to showcase some of his solos now.
Underrated.... but has a PRS signature guitar?!?! LOL
I was fortunate enough to have Mark hand me one of his CUSTOM SE PRS's from the stage in 2019. Looks like the same one he is playing in video. PLAYS amazing!!!
I know we here it all the time but Mark is one of the top underrated guitarist of our time
That tone at the end is disgustingly beautiful
I've gotten 3 lessons from this man and I own his signature PRS and I love it. Mark will forever be a great guy, songwriter, and person.
I'm so happy to see Mark having so much exposure lately ! He sure fucking deserves it
My favorite guitarrist for clean intros and riffs! His solos are very amazing too!
Dude is such a role model as not only a guitar player but person as well. All class. Hope to see him live one day. Rock on!
My opinion : Mark is one of best musician in this planet, He can play anythink, He can play guitar very good with singing too.
PRS Guitar has accompanied Him so far and it is perfect to Him.
Mark Tremonti is genius musician 🤘🎸
I’ve got an old
stripped down(literally paint removed) Tremonti SEthat I absolutely love.
Mark is my biggest inspiration in music and my favorite guitarist of all time
I have an SE Tremonti, and I just cant put it down….😂
Absolutely love it.
Sounds spectacular through the new Archon 50 combo amp…👍🏼🎸
...i'm just over here waiting for yall to make mark's prs prototype (explorer shaped) a production model...
Mark is a very likable guy and the Tremonti sig is a classic!
The Tremonti signature in a purple burst is still my dream guitar. One day i'll hopefully get one for my 50th.
He deserves all the love he is getting. Such a kind person and a musical guy. If i could have a high end guitar, it would probably be that one. Congrats prs.
My dream guitar since I was 15 still haven’t got one I’m 21 now ima get one one day
I am an aging 80’s metalhead who has had his share of shredder Super Strats. I actually still have one. But just before the pandemic hit, i purchased a Tremonti SE for my son. I ended up working from home for several months during Covid and was playing this guitar a lot…..(when I should’ve been working lol) I grew to love it and I ended up getting one for myself and am now a PRS convert. I’m hopeful that one day before I get TOO old, that I can get a USA model. But for now my Tremonti SE suits me fine. Great guitar 👍🏻
Humble gentleman, a true metal guitar beast.
Superb lighting/framing/editing on the video content! Equally stunning audio, too. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻😎🥇🎯🎼
I have so many fond memories of Creed and the crew. It makes me sad seeing this and brings back a flood of both dark and hopeful memories at the same time. Thank you Mark and Creed for giving me hope and encouragement! ❤
I waited over two years for my Tremonti Core model, definitely worth the wait. Best guitar I own.
This man has amazing riffs.
He’s in my top 5 guitarists
He puts together some great clean Melodie’s humongous riffs
And blazing solos such a creative guy
One of the greatest guitarists of all times!!! Amazing guitar!!!
Mark is so damn good
So awesome, gotta have it for it's flare and versatility!
Very lucky to own his core model in cobalt blue burst. Expensive for sure, but so worth it. Thanks for making these instruments and the inspiration.
Still in love with my CE 24 from 2004.
A humble man... Pure class!!!
Always loved mark. Since seeing creed back in Miami in 1997ish. Maybe one day, I’ll be able to afford one of your guitars. Haha.
Massive tone 👏 👏 👏
Amazing! 🎸
Sound smooth and heavy ! great !!
Last year i bought my PRS Tremonti SE and ITS AWESOME !!! hope in the future get the core version!!!
I was literally watching the mt100 demo from last year. Mark Tremonti and PRS must have good ears haha
Sounds and looks really cool 🔥
I've never heard a guitarist say their signature is their favorite instrument. That is high praise from an artist I respect that could buy any guitar on the market. My first guitar was a Korean PRS Tremonti and I've bought more guitars since then (Gibson Les Paul and others) and I always go back to my PRS Tremonti. It is so well made and it sounds amazing with the stock pickups. I haven't swapped out anything except the tuners (for locking tuners). When I am in the market to spend a lot of money on my end-game guitar, it will absolutely be a PRS.
Sir Tremonti! Nice guy, great musician/guitarist. I love Broken Wings intro/song. Love PRS guitars, too. ❤🤘
I have PRS singlecut from 2001. It's similar to PRS Tremonti with sustain and massive tone. I bought a Fiore now it's also fantastic and different with 11 tones. Love them both.
Mark is an amazing guitarist.
Right on Mark!
Tremonti is The Freakin" Best and I Love The PRSGuitars 🎸 as Well 👍🏾.
Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯
My favorite guitar
I have 4 Prs guitars and my SE tremonti is the best one. It feels just right and it absolutely rips. Best guitar ive ever owned hopefully i can get a high end tremonti someday
Mark is the reason why i own a PRS the reason why I love PRS, such a great Guitarist a great musician and of course a great a man!!!
Mark is the GOAT for a reason
Prs my dream guitar ❤❤❤
I got to do a backstage group lesson with him. I was the last to leave and he stopped and took time to answer some questions I had. Such a good dude with a good heart!
I retire in 2 years. This will be my retirement present to myself. Can’t wait
Great gift to yourself Doug! Get it 💪 😊
I love the quality of the budget models too. I have the custom version and it's just so solid, sounds awesome, feels great to play. I do wish they sold a stoptail version though.
Broken wings ❤ still one of the very best tracks
Ok, normally I'm a Gibson/Orville/Greco/Tokai SIngle Cut enjoyer but now that guitar is on my bucket list, period.
I had the same exact guitar but model 2014, it was amazing!
This guy doesn’t age.
Such a great, humble, down to earth guy.
TREMONTI ROCKS!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The sound are massive and brutal, with percussive as he mentioned, this is the exactly sound that I’m looking for, what microphone cab did he used (on MT100) particularly in this video btw? Cause it sounds quite different than any other reviewer on YT
My Idol 💝
I just picked up a Macarty 594 SE because I wanted a single cut with a fixed bridge (the SE is not available in a fixed), but a Tremonti SE is definitely next on my list. Been such a huge fan of his since Creed and my biggest influence in picking up guitar.
It’s funny, my first PRS was a Tremonti SE 20 years ago, and that actually did have a wraparound bridge. Not sure when they put a trem on it.
@@mikeomatic9905 They went through several design changes. Used to have a wrap around bridge with dot inlays, then bird inlays, then it looks like they settled on the bird inlays with the PRS trem. I'm looking at used ones and most of them have the wrap around bridge. I may pick one of those up. I think if you find one with the "Tremonti" 12th fret, it's one of the earliest.
@@user-ri5fe7ti6i I don't think I've seen an SE with a "Tremonti" inlay before. I had one of the fairly early ("pre-lawsuit") ones, I think a 2003. It was the grey sparkle finish with dot inlays. Honestly I really like the look of that one, and kind of wish they'd bring that one back.
Man, I sure am glad that after more than 20 years of having a signature model, he’s finally getting his own signature model lol
Tremonti Hybrid Baritone but tuned to E Standard with medium gauge strings and a pickup swap (Fishman Fluence Classic) is the perfect do everything, desert island guitar for me. I have always avoided signature guitars, and I am not a huge Tremonti fan (appreciate and respect through). But there is nothing else like it on the market (25.5" scale maple neck, wraparound stop tail bridge, single cut mahogany body, 2x volume and tone controls) and I am a PRS fan boy, so I am very thankful to have the option and luxury to make this one exception.
My #1 has been a Tremonti SE from 2015. I liked the weight, which is lighter than the core model. I havent had a guitar take the top spot and I doubt any will.
PRS is my dream guitar 😢🎸
Tremonti is the man and PRS got lucky with him
I love PRS 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Usually when there is a signature guitar the guitars made for Mass Production are not as good. Is this the same for this guitar?
The Goat 🐐
Mark is my favorite current (active/alive) guitarist. I’m glad we got to hear the ODS Channel a little more of the MT100. I have owned several Tremonti sig and find them superior to the “classic” single cut.
I love my Mira II
I've been playing my Tremonti SE since 2002, other than changing the tuners, this guitar has been #1 ever since. Hopefully I could upgrade to the actual signature :)
My dream guitar😭
Mark, what gauge strings do you have there?
It seems like he puts out a new signature guitar every 5 months for 20 plus years
Best damn guitar on the planet. I got the SE, and it's the most beautiful thing I've owned...
If you like an SE wait until you get a core.😂
That's the whole thing about PRS... I mean, people name this "entry level" and whatnot...
I connected it to BIAS FX on my PC, installed some John Petrucci presets, the damn thing sounds fuckin' amazing.
Sure as hell will buy a core someday soon, but the impression of this "basic" model is far higher than one would think.
Buying a 200W amp next week, see how it works on a properly filled room :)) @@Cognitoman
@@oliverefremov6633 you might like mark Holcombs SE… I just bought a brand new PRs dw Floyd for 1950 dollars!!! And brand new they are 2900, But I got it for used price, even though the guy bought it back in October in 2023 lol
Man I wish he opened with One Last Breath on this one.
❤
3:33 Not the case on Higher, he uses neck for a lot of the dirt parts, bridge only for the lead or melodic parts.
Saint Mark doing what he does best.
What song is he playing on the first seconds??
Creed is back baby!!
Waiting for that creed album dont get me wrong excited for the next tremonti record but creed is gonna top everything that releases soon
Me too!!
Could y’all do a Single Cut Trem SE model? One volume, one tone.
Mark is by far one of my fav guitar players. I recently purchased the SE version (all I can afford) and love it. Keep up the great work Mark and God Bless!!
Quiero saber cuál es la ecualización en limpio
I love this guitar. But I loved it way more as a hard tail.
Would love to try one. But shock of all shocks…no left handed model :(
What song is that at the start pls?
Im a simple man. I see Mark Tremonti, I smash that like button!
Was an hotel california blues 😊
I wish you would make a four string - tenor - or octave mando...
