| Sam Bass' guitars are always a hit |
It's February and images of
hard-charging stock cars drafting down the backstretch and slamming into the
turns at nearly 200 MPH come to mind as we approach the Daytona 500.
But before the green flag
falls on Sunday, fans will enjoy a pre-race concert performed in the Daytona
International Speedway infield by country music superstar Luke Bryan. For the
past eight years, Sam Bass -- The First Officially Licensed Artist of NASCAR --
has had the honor of designing and presenting a one-of-a-kind guitar to the
pre-race entertainers, including some of the biggest celebrities in the music
industry.
"I am such a huge fan
of live concerts," said Bass, "and The Daytona 500 pre-race concert
is always spectacular. I am so proud to present one of my custom-painted
guitars to Luke Bryan and am very thankful to Daytona for the honor once
again."
This year's presentation is
a Paul Reed Smith S2 Custom 24 electric guitar displaying one of Sam's most
brilliant designs yet. A beautiful All-American theme adorns a flamed
maple wood body with a red finish and a red and silver metal flake clear coat.
"We're delighted to be
a part of the pre-race festivities celebrating the 56th Annual Daytona
500" said Jack Higginbotham, PRS Guitars president. "We respect
the impact that Sam's art has had on NASCAR fans. His graphics truly capture
the excitement of the event."
