Ear-grabbing TCI pickups
The PRS Private Stock 30th Anniversary Birds of a Feather Hollowbody I is equipped with a pair of exceptional TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickups. The guitar’s hot bridge pickup is perfect for deploying leads infused with fat, snarling tone, and if you back off the Volume control, it cleans up beautifully. Switch to the neck pickup, hit a chord, and you'll hear the articulation of each note, even in high-gain situations. These pickups are complemented by dual mini-toggle EQ switches that act as tuned highpass filters. Inspired by the 2023 Private Stock John McLaughlin model, these switches remove shelved low end, allowing high frequencies to shine through for added clarity.
Made to be played
It goes without saying that the Private Stock 30th Anniversary Birds of a Feather Hollowbody I’s figured maple top, elevated by an extended Frostbite Glow stain finish, is glorious to behold, but this hollowbody electric guitar wasn’t built solely to be stared at — it was built to be played. Don’t believe us? Pick it up! This instrument’s stunning flame maple neck boasts PRS’s eminently comfortable Pattern shape, an exceptionally comfortable profile inspired by one of Paul’s earliest pre-factory shapes: the Wide Fat Pattern. It’s a slightly substantial neck that never feels too hefty, complete with a fast glide and a carve that perfectly conforms to the natural bend of your hand. It’s a favorite among guitarists of all stripes, endorsed by such legendary guitarists as Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton, and Howard Leese of Heart fame.
