The PRS Private Stock program, established in 1996 in Stevensville, Maryland, is dedicated to crafting the most personally customized electric guitars globally. These boutique guitars, a pinnacle of PRS guitars offerings, are built with a "one-off" approach, aiming to deliver heirloom-quality musical instruments with unparalleled customization. Paul Reed Smith himself emphasizes that these high-end guitars are not only beautiful and playable but also exceptional in tone, aspiring to be the finest instruments a player will ever experience.
CME's team collaborates closely with PRS Private Stock to hand-select tonewoods from the exclusive "vault" at PRS guitars headquarters. Each piece of wood, with its unique figure, weight, and hue, forms the distinct sonic and visual foundation for every PRS Private Stock instrument. The finish applied highlights the elegance of these chosen woods, giving each custom guitar its own personal aesthetic.
The PRS Private Stock program offers extensive customization options, including nearly infinite inlay options and combinations to personalize each boutique electric guitar. Every Private Stock instrument also comes with a specially selected guitar case designed to protect the instrument while complementing its aesthetic appeal and attention to detail.
