This week, PRS Guitars opened applications for the Class of 2026 in its acclaimed Pulse Artist Program.
For six years, the Pulse Artist program shines a light on leading regional artists from around the world through PRS’s dealer network and beyond. Currently, the roster boasts 135 guitarists, representing a diverse range of playing styles and genres from nearly 30 countries. Last year, the program welcomed 41 new artists, including Leoni Jane Kennedy (UK), Dimitri Peters (USA), Tomo-Zo (Japan), and Pannasit Sukahotu (Thailand).
“Joining the Pulse Artist Program opened doors I never imagined,” shared PRS Pulse Artist Gemari Sharper. “I’ve gained international exposure through PRS’s website and social media, which led me to connect and collaborate with talent around the world.”
PRS Guitars created the Pulse Artist program to recognize up-and-coming guitar players while helping them form stronger relationships with each other and their go-to dealer. Members enjoy exclusive discounts on PRS guitars, amps, and accessories (with the exception of Guitar Center), and receive a custom membership kit filled with PRS strings, picks, cables, and more. The program also amplifies artists through editorial features and social media content.
Bev Fowler, Director of Artist and Community Relations at PRS and a She Rocks Awards honoree, shares her enthusiasm: “We’re excited to continue the Pulse Artist Program into its sixth year. This platform supports hardworking regional players while building meaningful connections with fans and musicians. Pulse Artists are consistently releasing new music, landing media coverage, performing live, and even collaborating with Official PRS Artists. Their achievements inspire us, and we look forward to discovering even more talent in the 2026 class.”
All guitarists interested in apply have until August 29, 2025 through an Authorized PRS Dealer or Distributor. The PRS Artist Relations team will review all submissions, with the new class announcement expected in October. Accepted artists will hold their membership from December 1, 2025, through December 31, 2026.
