Everything You Could Want & More! - PRS Private Stock Fatbacks

[@Sea_Jay]

Wow! I love that fret board design with the mini birds!

[@andertons]

So do we!!

[@richgsimisker6286]

People may bristle over the cost, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder... but when it comes to dyed chatoyant wood finishes, PRS are objectively right up there with the very best 💙

[@angrypickle]

Too bad only a few can afford them.

[@jmdyt3626]

@@angrypickleI I mean tbf they cater to all audiences they have the se’s which are pretty low prices and great for the money, you have the s2’s which then get pricer and then these, these will always be high prices

[@Smitty_Werbenjagermanjenson]

Capt. nailed the intro this time, well done

[@petersutton523]

I’ll never own a guitar like this but I absolutely love the fact that they exist, it’s a huge tribute to human ambition and ingenuity. It’s also a slam dunk that I will now buy a PRS guitar out of respect for a company that wants to keep the love of quality and exclusivity alive 👍

[@rebeccagarner2576]

Please get one!! There’s a PRS in a price range for everyone!! I have several SE models, and they are fabulous. I love my S2 Vella also! My boyfriend has several higher end guitars from other companies, but he keeps reaching for that Custom 24 SE … Dont miss out ❤️❤️✨✨

[@marcmays4227]

The Captain needs one of these. He sounds great with a PRS! Go Cappy!

[@youKnowWho3311]

3 cores, 1 private stock. All different models. The Private stock is absolutely incredible. Is it 5k more incredible than my cores in terms of feel? NO. That stated, it is an exceptional 1 of 1 art piece that I love. The split 58/15LT's sound incredible. Sounds like a Les Paul and Strat in 1 guitar. 16:09 and 18:40 are examples of exactly how good it is. I bought mine used and it has one small scratch, so I don't worry too much about playing it. If you are going to buy one, play it!

[@marc8vino]

These are 85/15 not 58/15LT's. These as well as the 58/15LT's sound great split. I have 3 wood library really cool wood options 2 with 58/15 and one with 85/15. They are wonderful, but I also have two core models I would choose for the feel and sound over those. All of them are great!

[@EnzoHerrera-fx7pv]

Man I Got A Core And I Need A Private Stock because You will finally become the Fastest best player you dream to be the Victorias Secret Supermodel will finally approach you and ask about the specs radius and scale length

[@sixslinger9951]

mini birds like this should be on every PRS.

[@Gibsondude]

Man you guys play so well together!

[@GranTigerGaming]

I bought my first PRS (SE) last year and was blown away, PRS fan for life.

[@SEGREDOSPROIBIDOS1]

Can we all agree that every bit of the guitar makes a difference and disagree on how big of a role each bit plays?

[@mkrd2000]

The flame, finishes, and fretboards aside, those mini offset birds are possibly the coolest thing PRS has done.

[@ShaunNelson]

Lee's playing has come on so far, a joy to watch.

[@charlesflint9048]

I bought a PRS Custom24SE a few months ago, and love it. BTW I bought a pre-owned 1998 Rolex 12 yrs ago and I love that too. You don’t have to be rich to get nice things.

[@Coltrane45]

Exactly. Bought a daytona when my son was born to wear and pass on to him down the road, and enjoy wearing it every day. Congrats on the custom 24SE

[@teachscott]

I like your honesty Pete! For someone as accomplishewd as you, to say you didnt get it at first is huge!!! I am inspsired to play!!!

[@sarcazmo]

Those are stunning! Cheers gents!

[@MrJayscinema]

This neck designs is what all PRS guitars should use going forwards. ❤

[@stephanguntzel504]

The thing that amazes me the most is that endless sustain. This is not from this world and I wouldn't believe that something like that was even possible unless I heard it. Absolutely insane…

[@kmw5100]

I cannot believe it took them this long to do the mini offset birds. Looks lovely. I do so hope they make it to the core range, but I wont hold my breath.

[@sanfran216]

SEs with the small birds please? They look so classy

[@tonys2189]

I've tried to explain it to my friends an uncountable amount of times: PRS guitars have their own distinctive sound, even the SE I have and love. I describe it as a high "metallic" first strike accompanied, right after, with a low end acustic tone. Maybe that's what you guys have described as a "bell". I can only find that sound in PRS's.

[@tonalvibrations2040]

Do they have spring buzz like my PRS guitars?

[@SomeDudeDan]

Lovely looking guitars! Are you going to review and demo the Friedman Plex? Can’t wait to see your reactions to that beast!

[@FzNd]

Just bought a guitar today (alas it's an Ibanez, not a PRS). Spent 1200€, which is a lot of money for me. Now I see these and somehow I feel like a pauper 🤣. Nevermind the ginormous price tag. These guitars are absolutely stunning. I just hope the lucky people who end up buying these actually play them, and don't just hang them on the wall, even though they *are* pieces of art.

[@themisterh]

Enjoy your Ibanez 😁

[@samplecode]

A 1200 ibanez is going to be brilliant

[@themisterh]

I think my RG970 is awesome, it was my first "premium" guitar. It's an art piece, but it's also a tool to be used too.

[@FzNd]

@@samplecode Played it a lot yesterday and I absolutely love it. I was looking for a dedicated D-standard guitar. The techs at the shop set it up properly for me and it's an absolute joy to play. It also sounds great. This one is Fishman loaded, and I've never used active pickups before, but I really like the way these sound. All around I'm very happy with the purchase so far.

[@youKnowWho3311]

I have a private stock and play mine almost daily for at least an hour. I used an Ibanez s series on stage to cover all the required heavy tunes where there was trem involved. Ibanez make phenomenal guitars for the money!

[@nathanbouton6700]

Kingwood also known a Prince wood was used for fine furnature in the 17th century and was the most expensive wood on earth. almost exclusively used for inlays currently.

[@andertons]

Didn't know that! Thanks for the info :)

[@JustinTaylorMD]

I’ve got a private stock coming on order as we speak ….. and it’s going on the road, in the vault and will be traveling with my road guitars because I built it with that intention … some people want collectibility, some want function, I choose function every time. Otherwise it would be too sad that it would live as a wall ornament

[@anthonyward8587]

Brilliant sounding guitars. Cheers from Oz. :)

[@rocket69218]

What does the Kingwood fretboard do to the tone? Knowing Paul's views he must have chosen it for a tonal reason right? Not just to be different and fancy?

[@TheNickLavender]

A quality instrument can be one of the most inspiring elements to a player. Beautiful guitars!

[@garycastronova7939]

They're too nice to play.i had two custom 24s back in the late 80 s and 90s. Eventually sold them off. They're too nice and I always worried about banging them up. To each their own

[@martinmartin8871]

Love that fretboard on the darker one. What a lifer guitar! Over 30 years I have owned 15 cores including two artists and two modern eagle Quatros. I still have a couple. Get an Ebony artist fretboard! They feel and sound better than the rosewood. Perfect for the 25" scale length. Sorry for the rant just getting energized on this current Wood Library PRS!

[@ianedmonds9191]

The trick with a PRS Custom 24 is to buy one that's 20+ years old and pre-dinged. I bought an emerald green US Custom 24 10 top with some very minor dings. I can take it where ever and not be worried about a small bump. I'm still careful obviously but it's not pristine so I don't have to be as precious with it. It still sounds and plays amazing. It's surprising how cheap you can get one for. Luv and Peace.

[@riklionheart23]

Beautiful guitars, love the mini birds… insane prices!

[@ledhendrix5054]

Do PRS use the same Trem Bridge on the Private Stock and SE & S2 ? , I have an SE and an S2 and the Trem on my SE Standard 24 looks alot like the Trem on those Private Stock.

[@savagekitten]

All I can hear in my head, is Alan Partridge saying "I've got a fat back!"

Pieces of art.

[@Kyle-cb8xv]

bought a prs zach myers edition in november and love it i can only imagine how would of these would be

[@josephemmanuel76]

As you say incredible attention to detail and workmanship, remember the key driver for PRS is to make guitars people want to play - this one sounds fantastic I’m hoping the eventual owner will play it … a lot ! Not leave it in a glass case 🤔

[@Lez325]

Recently acquired a PRS. BEST guitar I own 😊

[@tres311]

“Tremendous!” Cap is definitely voting Reform next month! MEGA

[@yayayaokoksure]

They both sound spectacular.

[@uncle_ike]

7:30 curly and flame are interchangeable. Woodworkers frequently use the word curly while guitar people more frequently use flame. It's the same thing. BEAUTIFUL guitars btw!

[@stevebaretta1]

Gorgeous and looks like a dream to play.

[@JakeWilliams-guitar]

Those mini birds at top of the fretboard look great!

[@NickWebbSax]

Gorgeous instruments. Love that Blue Whale Glow (or whatever) one. Part of me thinks its a shame they'll probably sit in a vault or something rarely played or used. Just as artwork investments.

[@mundane_in_the_membrane]

I know not everyone digs the relic thing, but could you imagine the heart ache you'd feel if you dinged one of these guitars or dropped them? A reliced guitar or a guitar that's 1/10th of the price would be no big deal.

[@PaulCooksStuff]

Rabea's PRS slipped off the guitar stand quite soon after he bought it.

[@DaltPlaysGuitar]

My GOD those are gorgeous guitars

[@dlj1285]

They outta be for the price. Insane price, but yeah, pretty dreamy.

[@nellayema2455]

I love the mini bird inlays. Very PRS, but not so in-your-face. Tasteful, IMO. They sound good too, due to the inclusion of the tone buttons on the tuners, no doubt :)

[@oyvindreynen3800]

You should do a vid of the late Chris Larkin guitars ..

They're such works of art. My only qualm with PRS is that the only pickups with any level of personality are the silver sky. Luckily it's an easy fix!

[@poptopunderdog9690]

Loving the tiny birds.

[@jamestonguet1737]

I'm lucky to own 5 private stocks .. they are holy grails .

[@delamar6199]

Honestly Private Stock or not PRS builds really great sounding guitars lately. I had PRSs from 2 decades and they always lacked something in the character. They didn't really do their own thing. But since a few years they nailed some kind of formula to bring those axes alive and have their own recognizable character. The only brand I would choose over PRS would be Nik Huber but there you are in Private Stock territory anyways..

[@zen729]

The one that pete is holding is very likely the best looking PRS guitar I have ever seen

[@davva360]

I have a PRS, only a lowly SE Custom 2408 but I love it. As good as my American Fender and Gibson SG standard.

[@tonictonetomrockstar1931]

nothing but love from the US

[@ListenToPowerViolence]

Truly stunning guitars. PRS are the best.

[@InvisibleKingStudio]

you guys are hilarious!! LOVE IT!! The Trump bits are great!! So funny.

[@EpicMSdos]

I would never drop 11 thousand pounds on a guitar that pete had done filthy things with, the balls on these lads to play both of them is insane

[@brianphelps1183]

Never liked the 85/15,I swapped out for 57/08’s in my Custom 24 10 Top. My father always said guitars are made to be played. I have my fathers 1960 Gibson ES355TDSV, he played it and it still gets played.

[@johanfrankenberg4919]

would love too see a video where lee picks, play no effects like mark knopfler och straight down picking like james hetfield, I know he repect them both, what does he think is the easy way out ordo he reallt what to learn how they do it!?

[@rhk4680]

I have a Private Stock too, with the exact same blue top, just the neck is different (maple and ebony fretboard). I'm a bit disappointed, I thought this top was unique.

[@michaelmiles6398]

They would look good on my guitar rack.

[@TheColton0117]

I had a SE CE 24 that was effortless to play compared to an s2 594. These look so effortless but also $$$. PRS needs to make more S2 CE hardtail models and maybe I'd own one again

[@Mr.Cynical92]

I wanna see a private stock silver sky. Maybe a bound fretboard, maple cap, Clapton style mid circuit boost. I'm just putting thus out there in case the right person at PRS reads this.

[@alangreenway6695]

I own a Lefty Ltd Custom 22, and it is a lovely guitar to look at and play… …it just doesn’t have that magic sound for me that my Gibsons have.

[@chrisdover8507]

If you’re wondering if the sound quality comes across on KZbin, it sure does. Wow

[@mikehomar5321]

I had such a laugh at this, several times…. Thanks guys 😆

[@Coltrane45]

Capt needs a deBethune skybridge or Journe resonance, Pete needs a Groenfeld remontoir. I think each would match their personality. I think I'd take that Cabestan over either of these, but will recognize these are quite striking and hope they get played wherever they end up.

[@caydespliff181]

the funny thing to me is how *strong the opinions of those who are in camp: “tonewood is a myth” are. in my humble opinion wood does matter. it’s partially feel, partially construction, pickups, etc. the “sound” is a sum of all of those parts and ofcourse, how the musician feels while playing colors everything they play, so it matters in that regard as well. I’m not flocking to tonewood debunkers’ videos to shout my opinion though, it’s just that. my humble opinion. at the end of the day, a *living *breathing tree was killed for the use of these woods so I’m 100% on board with treating them with reverence and attributing special qualities to them. it’s the least we can do as their killers. lol. humans have a deep rooted(pun intended) history and connection to woodcraft, and it seems only natural that this still exists in some form in the guitar/intrument industry. it makes sense.

[@mikolajsluzewski6121]

Them tonewoods! 🤓

[@robertandre778]

Dragons Breath looks nice , I want this one but relic :))

[@StopTheRot]

I love everything about PRS guitars, other than their looks. They’re like a car with leopard skin seats. They would, without doubt, be the choice of a cigar smoking, gold chain wearing, new-money millionaire. It pisses me off because that same, gaudy git would be saying ‘it’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned’, and they’d be right.

[@smacker360]

I have had many and played many guitars. If I could only have one guitar it would be a PRS.

[@Sams911]

[@bobgamble8204]

It would be interesting to hear the justification for pricing any guitar in this range. Where in the build process does this cost rack up?

[@johnnewton1830]

Justified by somebody buying it.

Not keen on the offset birds. Mine has the hollow birds which I prefer. I also play mine at gigs and it is killer.😊

[@JN-North.Guitars]

I'm buying one. I'll use my Rolex as a slide 😂

[@eddieholmes3236]

It’s a lot of money, but as a top pro instrument it is nothing compared to what is paid for violins, cellos and even classical guitars.

[@Hesohi]

Or something as simple as a good Mandolin.

[@_uncredited]

I think the tonewood debate is missing the wood for the trees. A high-end guitar (or a cheap personal favourite) will make you play differently. It may boil down to 'vibes', but that's no worse an argument than 'magic wood' or that only the pickups matter because the spectrum analyzer says so.

[@edhornby4885]

Pete had it at 18min ; you have to play. Play the hell out of the one you already have and then when you are ready to get the next one, play lots of guitars and buy the one that really speaks to you. It might be a private stock or an epiphone but you will know.

[@LIKEFUNK]

It's a given that the Reed Smith guy is bringing out his new pedal next few months, it's going to be called the Horse Feathers or Horse-Radish I suppose, it'll sound different based on the metal it's encased in and the colour it's being presented in too more than likely no doubt...even the knobs will affect the tone as to whether your tweaking with plastic knobs as opposed to private stock metal knobs I heard? is it true?

[@bobgamble8204]

That does sound like Paul.....

[@Gypsy-Brown]

I might buy one of those and relic it, whack some cool stickers and a Floyd Rose on there. Then it'd be way better!

[@douglascrawford4791]

[@guitaradam2000]

I always used to find PRS guitars have heavily lacquered necks, which are generally quite sticky. Cool looking guitars, but never suited me personally.
