Top Shelf Productions Proudly Announces Endorsement Deal Between Rob Blackness of the band In Question and PRS Guitars

Rockland County, NY - June, 2007 - Rob Blackness, singer-guitarist of the New York based rock band In Question has just embarked on an endorsement venture with internationally acclaimed guitar manufacturer Paul Reed Smith.

Rob Blackness, who signed with management company Top Shelf Productions in early 2004, formed the band In Question in March of 2003. Since then, In Question has toured extensively and released one LP and two EP's available nationally through various online distributors such as iTunes and Snocap. A new LP will be released in late summer 2007.

"It's an honor to be endorsed by PRS and be in the company of great PRS artists such as Dave Navarro, Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola, and Mark Tremonti," says Blackness, adding "I've owned and played just about every type and brand of guitar out there and nothing plays, feels, and offers such a range of diverse tones as a Paul Reed Smith guitar."

Blackness first met with PRS Director of Artist Relations, Winn Krozack at the 2007 Winter NAMM Convention in Anaheim, California.

"After speaking to Winn at length, I was intrigued by how he really seemed to care about what I was looking for in a guitar and how he wanted to make sure that the PRS he gave me would fulfill all of my needs. Winn made me feel like I was part of the PRS family and because of that I feel this is the start a long, fruitful working relationship". - Rob Blackness
