PRS Private Stock Brazilian #4226 Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Choice tonewoods give you rich, balanced sound
  • PRS 59/09 pickups deliver sweetened humbucker sound
  • Feast your eyes on a Private Stock work of art
Choice tonewoods give you rich, balanced sound

To give the PRS Private Stock Brazilian #4226 a rich yet balanced sound, PRS began by selecting the tried-and-true combination of mahogany topped with maple. The mahogany body gives you natural tonal warmth, which really adds character to the sound. By nature, mahogany is a bit dark sounding, which is where the brighter tone of the maple top comes in. Together, these tonewoods give you an incredibly rich, balanced sound with body, depth, and snap.

PRS 59/09 pickups deliver sweetened humbucker sound

Speaking of tone, playing through the PRS Private Stock Brazilian #4226's pickups is a delightful experience. That's because PRS designed their 59/09 pickups to give you the sweet yet articulate sound and rich harmonic overtones you'd expect from real vintage humbuckers. Featuring a powerful bridge pickup and neck pup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 59/09 set packs a real sonic punch.
