This special instrument, this Paul Reed Smith Private Stock #11253 Singlecut Archtop I was in the womb at PRS headquarters for over a year! Being PRS connoisseurs, we are always excited to combine aspects from our favorite models for something totally unique... And sample the world's finest collection of exotic tone woods!

To touch on the logic behind these builds, we like to dive in to these kind of things head-first and be inspired by what is around us. Typically, we enter The Vault with an idea in mind and choose woods and specifications based upon what stands out among the greats. Just like when we do lumber selection for our Wood Library guitars, no top is untouched before decisions are made. The difference here is only one top, out of many species of wood, are selected for just one special guitar (instead of forty at a time). The Private Stock also opens the door for completely one-off, unique specs like what is found here.

This is a world-class instrument that will very quickly have you falling in love with it's lush and warm clean tones.  The air and clarity coming from this guitar give it such a complex characteristic that truly must be heard in person to be appreciated. We are very proud to put this PRS instrument out in the world and we hope you've enjoyed viewing it!
