Mark Tremonti is one of the leading guitarists. As the guitarist for Alter Bridge and Creed, he has found extraordinary success and continues to grow as a guitarist and songwriter. While Creed was touring in support of their debut album, My Own Prison, Mark was contacted by PRS and asked if he would like to try one of their guitars. "I jumped at the idea of playing one of the PRS guitars. PRS was one of those guitars that I could never afford in high school or college and I had always wanted to play one." PRS sent Mark a McCarty model which he immediately fell in love with. He played this guitar exclusively for a while, but eventually wanted a guitar more suited to his playing style. Mark Tremonti began collaborating with PRS on his dream guitar which would soon become the Mark Tremonti Signature Model. He needed microphones that were a little more aggressive and could complement his rhythm playing which contains a lot of palm muting. The guitar's neck had to fit his style, influenced by thrash metal, shred and traditional blues. PRS has responded to these needs with the Pattern Thin neck carve model.
