Another new announcement from Paul Reed Smith at this year’s winter NAMM show is a new Private Stock Signature Limited Run guitar, which will be limited to a run of 100 guitars. The guitar was created with input from multiple guitarists and is their first multi-endorsement guitar featuring endorsements by Howard Leese, Tom Wheeler, Davy Knowles, Michael Ault, and Paul Reed Smith himself.
The guitar features “a new pickup system with proprietary 408 treble and bass humbucking pickups which produce eight sounds on a simple switching scheme. A highly figured Private Stock maple top, and ME (Modern Eagle) birds with brown mother of pearl centers create an arresting visual impression. This model’s filled in “sinker” mahogany neck gives the player a new but familiar unfinished feel.”
The specs of the guitar are:
Top Wood: Private Stock Figured Maple
Back Wood: Lightweight African Mahogany
Number of Frets: 22
Scale Length: 25″
Neck Wood: Mahogany
Fretboard Wood: East Indian Rosewood
Neck Shape: Pattern

Now that’s a PRS I could get behind.
It’s definitely a great looking guitar.
