PR-Series
The Epiphone PR, or Presentation, series began production in the mid to late 1970's with the PR-725, 745 and 765 dreadnought acoustic guitars. The PR-Series went on to include concert-sized and slope shouldered guitars through the 1980's and 90's as well as 12-string and acoustic/electric models featuring both laminated and solid wood construction. The PR-Series was renamed to the DR-Series in 2004. Many DR-Series acoustic guitars used the same numerical suffixes as the PR-Series and are identical in many, if not all ways to the PR acoustic guitars. Although discontinued, Epiphone released a PR-150 special run for 2010-2011 in limited quantities. |
