Private Stock Hollowbody Bass 4

JANUARY 2016 GUITAR OF THE MONTH

Hollowbody Construction

Splittable Bass Pickup

Six Piece Limited Production


Resonance and Definition

2016 marks the 20th Anniversary of Private Stock, and PRS is celebrating with a return to the program that started it all: Guitars of the Month. Each month the Private Stock team will deliver a unique design in limited numbers, as always featuring the detailed craftsmanship and exquisite materials that define Private Stock. The January Guitar of the Month is a Private Stock Hollowbody Bass. With an authoritative tone and elegant appearance, this bass is addictive to play and a collector's piece to be treasured. The 4-string Hollowbody Bass is outfitted with a dual coil Bartolini pickup that is splittable via a push/pull tone control. This pickup design, along with the center block/hollow wing construction, delivers an airy, deep tone with strong lows and plenty of top-end definition.

The "January" Private Stock Hollowbody Bass features exquisite woods and inlays from the Private Stock Vault, including a quilted maple top and swamp ash back, curly maple neck with ebony fretboard and mother of pearl birds, and an ebony headstock veneer with mother of pearl Private Stock Eagle and "January" engraved banner. The body is finished with high-gloss nitro, while the 30.25" scale length neck sports a 10" radius and satin nitro finish that plays comfortably and fast.

Six of these guitars will be made for January 2016, commemorating Private Stock's 20th Anniversary.



PRIVATE STOCK Guitar of the Month

The original Guitars of the Month were cased between December 1994 and March 1996. They provided the opportunity to experiment with new ideas and led directly to the Private Stock to the creation of the Private Stock program with the first "official" Private Stock instrument casing on April 19, 1996.

"At the time, the original Guitars of the Month program was a way for us to experiment with new designs and features. To this day, that innovation and specialization is still at the heart of the Private Stock program, and we are very excited to try out some new ideas for our 20th Anniversary year." - Paul Reed Smith
