Your Private Throwback to the Custom 24’s Origins
Paul Reed Smith and the team at PRS aim to make Private Stock creations “the best instrument you’ve ever experienced.” Private Stock guitars are a product of the builders’ boundless passion and creativity, given their access to the finest tonewoods, ornamentation, and electronics. The Private Stock #11004 Custom 24 Retro electric guitar is hand-assembled in the USA with throwback specs so you can experience a rare “pre-factory” PRS design for yourself. For instance, Private Stock #11004’s carved quilted maple top sports deeper curves on the upper bout than a modern Custom 24. Private Stock #11004’s double-cut African mahogany body is masterfully joined to a Brazilian rosewood neck and fingerboard for exclusive looks and exquisite vintage-inspired tones. Moreover, the rosewood fingerboard features rare Owls in Flight inlays, and the entire instrument is cloaked in a “Vintage Nitro” finish that’s only available to Private Stock customers. Dragon II pickups round out Private Stock #11004 with vintage-style humbucker tones that are carefully hot-rodded for a touch of additional power. Sweetwater guitar aficionados know there’s nothing quite like a PRS Private Stock — snag your one-of-a-kind PRS today!

Top-of-the-line comfort and performance
This magnificent solidbody electric guitar is centered around a resonant African mahogany body, which is crowned by an exquisite quilted maple top. Private Stock #11004’s rosewood neck boasts a Pattern Thin shape, which is an updated version of the company’s traditional Wide Thin neck style. The Pattern Thin neck shape is fast and comfortable — ideal for players with smaller hands or guitarists who use classical left-hand positioning, pivoting with their thumb on the back of the neck. Lastly, deluxe PRS hardware and appointments provide top-notch playability and performance. The fingerboard boasts helpful Luminlay side markers, the pickups are framed with ornate rosewood rings, and onboard hybrid hardware includes a Gen III tremolo and “Tweaked” Phase III locking tuners that support spot-on intonation and make string changes a quick affair. No matter what angle you view or play Private Stock #11004 from, you’re in for the experience of a lifetime.
Brazilian rosewood neck and fingerboard
Overharvesting and illegal trafficking have threatened everyone’s ability to enjoy Brazilian rosewood, which is unfortunate because many players cite it as the most musical rosewood around. Thankfully, PRS still has stockpiles for creations like the Private Stock #11004, which is outfitted with a Brazilian rosewood neck and fingerboard. The neck is masterfully fixed to the body with a set joint for enhanced sustain and open access to all 24 frets on the fingerboard. Pair that with a PRS Pattern Thin carve, and you’ll find Private Stock #11004 adds unmistakable momentum to your chops. Brazilian rosewood and a premium neck carve? Now that’s a win-win!
Dragon II humbuckers
Dragon II humbuckers came to life back in the late-‘80s and early-‘90s as Paul Reed Smith delved into new pickup designs. The Dragon is a vintage-leaning humbucker that’s slightly modified for additional body and girth, not to mention more usable range across the volume knob’s full sweep than thoroughbred vintage humbuckers can offer. Dragon IIs deliver thick cleans but just as easily push your amp into crunch territory with harmonically rich warmth.
