THE IN-DEMAND SNARKY PUPPY/FEARLESS FLYERS GUITARIST DISCUSSES HIS NEW “DOES EVERYTHING AT 100 PERCENT” SIGNATURE GUITAR, THE PRS FIORE

- Richard Bienstock

MARK LETTIERI IS one of current music’s most in-demand — and also versatile — guitar players. From his work with jazz-funk-fusion-rock-world-music collective Snarky Puppy and the all-star Vulfpeck offshoot the Fearless Flyers to his own highly varied solo efforts and playing for everyone from Erykah Badu, Nelly, and Eminem to David Crosby, Kirk Franklin, and Dave Chappelle, the Fort Worth, Texas-based guitarist is clearly adept at burning up the fretboard in a variety of genres and styles.

And so it’s no surprise that when it came to designing his first-ever signature model — the new PRS Fiore — he went for a guitar that was capable of doing a little of everything.
