PRS Becomes Exclusive Electric Guitar Sponsor of John Lennon Educational Tour Bus
The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus visits PRS Guitars headquarters in Stevensville, Maryland to celebrate the collaboration.
PRS Guitars has announced its partnership with the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus as the exclusive electric guitar sponsor into the spring of 2026. The sponsorship officially kicked off with PRS Guitars hosting the bus, crew and several local high school music students at its Stevensville, Maryland, factory in early June.
Paul Reed Smith, PRS Guitars’ founder and managing general partner, helped to mentor the students, who were writing an original song and recording it in the mobile recording studio. Beyond monetary sponsorship support, PRS has also donated a selection of guitars to the bus for students to use.
“This partnership highlights our shared priority of music education and provides opportunities for developing musicians to get their hands on exceptional equipment in a professional recording experience,” said Bev Fowler, PRS Guitars director of artist and community relations. “We look forward to an exciting year ahead!”
“The Lennon Bus is dedicated to providing the next generation of creators with access to the finest that the industry has to offer,” said Brian Rothschild, co-founder and executive director of the bus. “We’re proud to showcase the craftsmanship and killer design of PRS Guitars within all of our events and sessions across the U.S.”
The Lennon Bus will be accompanying Wu-Tang Clan on their 2025 “Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber” tour dates, kicking off June 6 at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore. Students will visit and record on the bus in each of the 27 cities of the tour. RZA, the founding member of Wu-Tang, is writing a collection of original songs to be recorded on the bus.
