PRS Private Stock #11767 Paul's Guitar Curly Maple/African Mahogany Rainforest Glow w/Stained Neck/Fingerboard & Birds of a Feather Inlay (Serial #0406986)

The PRS Private Stock program began in 1996 as a boutique building team within the PRS factory in Stevensville, Maryland, specially tasked with making the most personally crafted electric guitars available anywhere in the world. Conceived and built with a "one-off" mentality aiming to deliver heirloom-quality musical instruments, all PRS Private Stock instruments boast unprecedented levels of customization.

As Paul Reed Smith himself has said: “They are simultaneously musical instruments, pieces of art, tools to joyfully spend time with, and treasured possessions. The goal of Private Stock is not only to create the most beautiful and best-playing guitar money can buy, but the best sounding. If you decide on a Private Stock guitar, we will give everything we have to make it the best instrument you’ve ever experienced.”

Woods
CME’s premium guitar-buying team works closely with the Private Stock team to select tonewoods from the private stash in “the vault” outside Paul’s office at the PRS headquarters.

Like a fingerprint, each piece of wood housed in “the vault” is slightly different in figure, weight, and hue—each serving as the unique sonic and visual foundation of every PRS Private Stock instrument.

Finishes
Highlighting the elegance and figure of the woods we chose, the finish on every PRS Private Stock guitar imbues each with its own personal aesthetic, making a definitive visual statement.

Inlays
From the design itself to the materials used, the PRS Private Stock program offers nearly infinite inlay options and combinations to personalize each instrument.

Cases
Every Private Stock instrument comes with a case chosen not only to protect the instrument but to reflect the attention to detail and the aesthetically arresting instrument it holds.
