PRS Private Stock #12393 Custom 24/08 - Buckeye Burl/Cocobolo

The Paul Reed Smith Private Stock #12393 Custom 24/08 – Buckeye Burl/Cocobolo is a breathtaking testament to the artistry, innovation, and meticulous craftsmanship that define the PRS Private Stock program. Built from tonewoods hand-selected from the Private Stock vault, this Custom 24/08 combines the model’s celebrated versatility with a suite of ultra-premium materials and one-of-a-kind visual appointments, resulting in an instrument that is as inspiring to behold as it is to play.

A master-grade Buckeye Burl top crowns the guitar, finished in a refined Natural stain that showcases the swirling depths, textures, and dramatic coloration of this highly figured wood. Beneath it, an African Mahogany back provides warmth, punch, and sustain, reinforcing the Custom 24/08’s signature tonal complexity. The theme of natural beauty continues with a Cocobolo neck, Cocobolo fingerboard, and Cocobolo headstock veneer—a rare and luxurious trio offering striking visual character, rich tonal properties, and an unmistakably organic aesthetic. The body and neck are finished in an elegant Satin Nitro, giving the guitar a smooth, silky feel that enhances resonance and elevates the tactile playing experience.

The playability of this Private Stock Custom 24/08 is exceptional, thanks to the Pattern Thin neck carve, which delivers fast, comfortable performance for both intricate lead work and expressive chord playing. White Mother of Pearl side dots offer sleek and functional visibility along the fingerboard. The fingerboard itself is adorned with spectacular Green Ripple Abalone bird inlays, each outlined in White Mother of Pearl, creating a luminous, iridescent contrast against the rich hues of Cocobolo. Matching artistry appears on the headstock, where a Green Ripple Abalone Private Stock Eagle, also outlined in Mother of Pearl, serves as a radiant focal point.

Equipped with a pair of PRS’s acclaimed TCI pickups, this Custom 24/08 delivers remarkable clarity, balance, and expressive range. The 24/08 electronics layout—one volume, one tone, a 3-way toggle, and two mini-switches—allows players to access eight distinct pickup combinations, making this guitar an incredibly versatile sonic tool capable of everything from shimmering single-coil textures to thick, harmonically rich humbucker tones.

Premium hardware completes the instrument with both function and aesthetic harmony. The guitar features a Smoked Black PRS Gen III tremolo bridge for fluid pitch control, along with PRS Phase III locking tuning pegs fitted with rare Cocobolo buttons, complementing the guitar’s exotic-wood construction. African Mahogany backplates maintain visual continuity with the back wood, while a Cocobolo truss rod cover adds the final bespoke touch.

Strung with PRS Signature .010 strings and housed in an ultra-premium Private Stock Black Carbon Fiber case, this guitar is built for professional performance and lifelong admiration. With its Satin Nitro finish, exotic woods, Green Ripple Abalone inlays, TCI electronics, and flawless Private Stock execution, the PRS Private Stock #12393 Custom 24/08 stands as a true collector’s masterpiece—an instrument where tone, elegance, and craftsmanship meet at the absolute highest level.
