Experience the Epitome of PRS Private Stock Performance
Uncompromising in every aspect, this PRS Private Stock #12152 Custom 24 “Floyd” wields the finest timbers, tone, and performance that Paul Reed Smith has to offer. Moreover, each tonewood was personally picked out from PRS’s tonewood library by Sweetwater’s guitar experts, beginning with a distinctly figured slab of walnut for the top. A lively swamp ash body supports the top, boasting an eye-catching walnut grain fill and White Wash finish to contrast the top’s darker hue. Next, you get a lightning-fast Pattern Thin neck profile constructed from vibrant curly maple and topped with a curly maple fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets, and onyx/walnut-accented Original Birds inlays. PRS DMO pickups make the most of this Custom 24’s premium tonewoods, dishing out a tone that merges vintage vibe with sweeping dynamic range and a vocal-like expression. A 5-way switch also unlocks a plethora of tonal colors to explore. Lastly, a double-locking Floyd Rose Original tremolo unit imparts a touch of high-octane energy to this guitar’s refined recipe. Sealed with a satin nitro lacquer coat, this PRS Private Stock #12152 Custom 24 “Floyd” is a true heirloom of an instrument that will continue to delight and inspire for generations to come.

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.
DMO humbuckers: state-of-the-art sound
This Custom 24 is equipped with a powerful pair of pickups that capture Paul’s and the PRS New Products Research team’s years of hands-on research and innovative development: the DMO humbuckers. Short for “Dynamic, Musical, Open,” the DMO Treble and Bass pickups — mounted in the bridge and neck positions, respectively — represent a wealth of boundary-pushing possibilities. Paul and his team utilized state-of-the-art advancements in both signal analysis and tuning technologies to harness the magic of myriad vintage pickups and reimagine them as a constellation of tone-crafting capabilities, conjuring transparent vocal character and shimmering, precise sound in every register.
Floyd Rose–enabled pitch pyrotechnics
Paul Reed Smith devotees with a penchant for note-bending savagery will find that the Private Stock #12152 Custom 24 “Floyd” ticks all the right boxes. Nothing demonstrates this more fully than its inclusion of a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo. Hands down, you won't find another trem that withstands whammy abuse better than a Floyd. With it, you'll be able to execute diabolical dive-bombs, howling harmonic squealies, and every other pitch-warping malefaction in your depraved bag of tricks without knocking your axe out of tune.
