What is a Paul Reed Smith Private Stock Guitar?
Private Stock guitars are simply the finest guitars that PRS builds. Not a "line" or a "model" at all, but an exclusive handful of instruments created by the most esteemed craftsmen at PRS. Each Private Stock guitar is absolutely unique.

Crafted from some of the finest pieces of lumber in the world
Originally, when a load of instrument-quality lumber arrived at PRS, craftsmen sorted through the material and set the "best of the best" aside, sometimes designating certain pieces for bodies, necks or fingerboards. Eventually, this collection of the finest lumber became known as "Paul's Private Stash," - as in Paul Reed Smith, of PRS guitars - and, soon enough, the most talented, seasoned guitar makers at PRS began applying their skill toward the creation of these Private Stock instruments.

Personally checked by Paul Reed Smith
To ensure that every Private Stock guitar is the finest instrument possible, each guitar passes through the careful hands of elite PRS craftsmen and luthiers. Finally, Paul Reed Smith personally checks the guitar and signs it as a way of passing on his approval. Each guitar then receives a Private Stock number along with a letter of authenticity describing the specifications and features of that particular instrument. It is PRS' hope that this guitar will become a beloved part of your personal collection, and that you will one day value it enough to pass on to your loved ones in the years to come.

The finest parts, for the finest whole
With its head-turning East Coast Curly Maple top, Curly mahogany neck, and Mother of Pearl birds with gold outline inlays, the Paul Reed Smith Private Stock Custom 22 is simply a gorgeous instrument. However, still, it's designed to play and perform just as beautifully - if not more - than it looks. Its gold hardware, and 22-fret Macassar fingerboard and overlay contribute to this PRS' one-of-a-kind feel and sound.

Stunning finish
Of course, each Private Stock guitar has been carefully created - from its hand-picked pieces of lumber, to its craftsman's precise, artistic carvings. The finish is no different. Each Private Stock instrument is finished with a complex technique that's designed to bring out the most natural figure, and create an incredible three dimensionality. These guitars exude a stunning luster and brilliance.
