PRS Paul Reed Smith / Private Stock Signature / 2011 / Charcoal Burst / Guitar
|
Released during the winter NAMM of 2011 the limited run of 100 multi-endorser Private Stock Signature models sold out within 90 minutes. Here we have #83 in a breathtaking Charcoal burst nitrocellulose finish. The signature model features a unique set of pickups that sound like nothing else. The neck pickup is narrower while the bridge pickup is a bit wider than a common humbucker, so they capture the strings vibration on different positions than a traditional pickup. Add to this the added flexibility to split each individual pickup and you has eight different sounds at your disposal totally unique to this specific model. When you split the pickups an outer coil is added to the remaining single coil ensuring there’s no volumedrop between the various settings.
The combination of tone-woods is of a familiar recipe, with it’s mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard and curly maple top. Nevertheless the quality of the wood is exceptional and PRS has selected some exquisite pieces for the limited run of instruments. For the neck PRS used American “sinker” mahogany which is very dense and therefor offers massive sustain. The body is made of lightweight African mahogany, and the fretboard is made of select dark Indian Rosewood of the finest quality available. Naturally the Private stock grade top is a real eye-cather, but the magic is in the sum of the parts, just strum an open E chord and the guitar rings out forever.
Though previously owned the guitar is almost like new. There is a tiny dent next to the control plate which I couldn’t capture on camera, which is the only thing that keeps it from being dead mint. Could be easily concealed with just a drop of nitro BTW.
The guitar travels in it’s original paisley case and comes with a signed certificate and additional letter from all endorsers who have collaborated on this guitar.
