Whether you're a collector looking for the ultimate find, or a life-long player waiting for that one amazing guitar to come along you're in luck. The PRS Collection Electric takes Paul Reed Smith's unrivaled artistry and David Grissom's musical genius and combines them with a selection of tonewoods and appointments that's second to none. It's truly one of the most impressive guitars that Sweetwater has ever seen. But PRS is only making a handful of these fantastic guitars, so you'll only have one chance to get your hands on this PRS Collection Electric 2012.



PRS Collection Electric 2012 Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Paul's own master craftsmanship
  • Unrivaled tonewoods selected by Paul Reed Smith and David Grissom
  • Not just a collector's piece, a player's dream come true

Paul's own master craftsmanship
Back in 2009, when Paul Reed Smith returned to the helm of the PRS Private Stock program he began the unique creative process that led to the design of the PRS Collection Electric 2012. More than a way to create some of the world's most beautiful guitars, the Collection Electric line has given Paul Reed Smith a new outlet to experiment with new ideas and designs. So when you have a PRS Collection Electric 2012 in your hands, you're holding more than an amazing instrument, you're holding the future of PRS guitar craftsmanship.

Unrivaled tonewoods selected by Paul Reed Smith and David Grissom
The real story behind the PRS Collection Electric 2012 began over 20 years ago, when Paul Reed Smith and David Grissom began collaborating on a revised version of the McCarty design. So when Paul decided to build the PRS Collection Electric 2012 around the DGT model, he naturally decided to bring David in on the project. Together, they picked out the exceptional selection of tonewoods for this marvelous instrument, including a unique pernambuco neck and a magnificent 1-piece quilted maple top. You'll be absolutely blown away by how good this guitar looks and sounds.

Not just a collector's piece, a player's dream come true
Few collectable guitars can live the double life of being both remarkably rare while also being ideal performance instruments. That's part of what makes PRS's Collection Series guitars so special. Onboard this rare beauty, you'll find a set of premium DGT electronics. The Collection Electric 2012 even sports a custom PRS Tremolo bridge with old-style saddles and a new-style plate. At Sweetwater, we've rarely seen so apparently collectable a guitar that's obviously built to be played as well.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
