PRS Guitars cheers Ed Sheeran's collaboration with Dave Grohl and John Mayer on the Formula One movie soundtrack by introducing a unique, racing-themed guitar for tour use.
In the world of music, collaborations can often lead to extraordinary results, and the latest example comes from the music video for the song "Drive," part of the soundtrack for the movie F1: The Movie. The video features a unique collaboration between Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and Dave Grohl, with Sheeran's custom PRS electric guitar taking centre stage.
The guitar, a one-off custom PRS SE Hollowbody Baritone model, is a striking creation designed specifically for the song and live performances. With its classic red paint job and a unique fretboard featuring a vintage racer shift gate inlay at the 12th fret and yellow bird inlays, the guitar captures the spirit of racing and F1 culture.
Sheeran described the guitar as "striking, bright, and a baritone" that "knocks" in terms of performance. The guitar, according to Sheeran, was tailored closely to his specifications for look, sound, and feel in collaboration with PRS Guitars.
Sheeran's PRS electric guitar collection also includes a Custom 22, a Hollowbody II in Prism Dragon's Breath finish with Bing cherries on the fretboard, and a one-off purple Silver Sky, a gift from John Mayer.
In 2019, Sheeran collaborated with luthier George Lowden to launch his own guitar brand, Sheeran by Lowden. This collaboration further demonstrates Sheeran's passion for music instruments and his commitment to creating unique pieces.
The video for "Drive" premiered recently, and the guitar, once it is released, is expected to be a memorable creation in the world of music. With its distinctive design, powerful sound, and Sheeran's endorsement, this custom PRS SE Hollowbody Baritone is set to leave a lasting impression.
In addition to Sheeran, Grohl plays the drums, and Mayer also contributes to the song by playing guitars, making "Drive" a powerful collaboration between these three renowned musicians. The combination of their talents, coupled with Sheeran's custom PRS electric guitar, promises an unforgettable listening experience.
