An Exceptional Example of PRS Private Stock Prowess
Paul Reed Smith’s Private Stock guitars are utterly uncompromising in every respect, built from the finest tonewoods on the planet by the brand’s most masterful luthiers. This Private Stock #11576 Custom 24-08 perfectly exemplifies those lofty qualities. An exquisitely figured curly maple neck starts this instrument off with a bang, as its radiant figuring stands in stunning contrast to the stark white hue of the swamp ash foundation. The top’s figuring and finish are mirrored on #11576’s lightning-fast Pattern Thin neck, which features an eye-catching PRS Eagle inlaid into the neck’s heel. Flip over to the fingerboard to be greeted by a premium ziricote slab that’s studded with gorgeous abalone Birds inlays with brilliant white mother-of-pearl outlines. What about the tone? A one-two punch of PRS TCI (Tuned, Capacitance, and Inductance) pickups sing across the breadth of the frequency spectrum with superb clarity and exceptional dynamics in both humbucking and single-coil modes. Capped with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer coat and a premier hardware arrangement of Phase III locking tuners and a Gen III tremolo, the PRS Private Stock #11576 Custom 24-08 is a true musical heirloom that will continue to thrill and inspire for generations.

Crafted from the highest-grade tonewoods in the world
Tucked away in an unassuming corner of Stevensville, Maryland, lies one of the world’s most exceptional tonewood collections: “The Vault,” located just outside Paul Reed Smith’s office at PRS headquarters. From time-tested 6-string standbys like maple and mahogany to ultra-rare and exotic timbers, this treasure trove of timbers stands almost unequaled. To put it plainly, when you purchase a PRS Private Stock guitar, you can rest assured that your guitar’s tonewoods are the best available on the planet.
The Private Stock #11576 Custom 24-08 epitomizes the Private Stock program’s reputation for top-class tonewoods, as a single glance at this guitar’s attention-demanding curly maple top well proves. This guitar’s gorgeous grain beams with captivating patterns that are further set off by the swamp ash body’s crisp white visage and color-matched grain fill. On the opposite end, the neck’s curly maple construction wears the same flamboyant figuring and alluring finish as the top for a complete and cohesive aesthetic. An elegant ziricote fingerboard seals the deal, all adding up to a museum-grade instrument that’s sure to enrapture the eyes of any audience.
Tremendous TCI tones at the ready
Tuned, Capacitance, and Inductance (TCI) — that’s the level of sonic detail that gives the #11576 Custom 24-08 its vibrant voicing and an edge over other modified pickups. Taking after the models found on Paul’s Guitars, the TCI humbuckers aboard this Private Stock #11576 Custom 24-08 are as musically optimized as they come. Featuring dedicated and detailed schematics for both treble allowance (Inductance) and bass allowance (Capacitance) while being specially engineered to exude extraordinarily clear and present musical attributes across the entire frequency spectrum, TCI dual-coils unveil the pinnacle of PRS sound design. When matched with a duet of mini toggle switches, players can take their purified TCI humbucker tones and split them into single-coil configurations. This unlocks a multitude of tonal possibilities to satisfy the preferences of even the most astutely eared guitarists.
A PRS with only the best
When it came down to the details of the #11576 Custom 24-08 only PRS’s finest appointments would do. To start with, Phase III locking tuning machines hold your string stability to professional standards. A PRS nut offers the same flawlessness in playability, while a Gen III tremolo down at the body just aches to explore the expressive depths of your creativity. But aside from its premier hardware, the Private Stock #11576 Custom 24-08 also encapsulates luxurious build quality in its more minute details. From the smooth and protective feel of its high-gloss nitro finish to the mesmerizing intricacy of its Birds and signature Private Stock Eagle inlays, this Private Stock Custom 24-08 flaunts absolute class from head to toe.
