The Making of a PRS Private Stock

Watch how the process of building a Private Stock guitar from PRS works. Baxter is here at the PRS Factory and is in the Vault picking out woods for a build and showing you the whole process and some peeks at guitars in the build process!

Stunning artistry! Looks like my wife's operation will have to wait a few years.

Jeez, how would you ever make a decision with so many beautiful choices!

[@terrygreear8993]

These guys are the real deal . Beautiful diversity of quality built Guitars . Want one or two now !

These things are works of art. Stunning.

[@CasinoGuitars]

Thank you sir for watching! They are rather stunning and it is a treat to be there and see them come together!

[@TJ-Dives]

Somebody once said that when you buy a PRS Guitar you are not buying a musical instrument. You are opening up a subscription. I have to agree. After buying an S2 recently I was so amazed by the whole thing I then bought 3 others. Amazing stuff.

[@druwk]

PRS Guitars have always been serious works of art! Private Stock is ridiculous... These guitars sound and play amazing, but they freak me out! I have a hard time thinking of them as “tools /instruments”. Too precious.

[@martywilkinson6722]

Their guitars are just so beautiful! Its guitar art!

[@newportmike8519]

I am able and fortunate enough to have a perfect SUHR Buckeye burl modern with Limba back, roasted AAA Birdseye maple neck and Cocobolo board, a GIBSON Standard Historic 1959 Les Paul, a TAYLOR K24-CE Koa acoustic with a AAA top and a work horse WARMOUTH I made kind of like a 3-tone Stevie strat with custom Duncan (Texas flood style) pickups and all the good stuff but I do not feel like I have assembled my dream quiver yet until I have a PRS Private stock. It just may be the one I seek known as The Axecaliber. Forged from the good folks at Wonkaville/PRS here to bring peace and good will to all men.

Could you imagine someone buying one of these absolutely stunning guitars and then asking for it to be reliced. Those artisans would take him out back and relic his face.

I'm not a prs guy, but I have tremendous respect for Paul and the gang. And the graveyard... God... It's one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. That neck is glorious... Cheers

[@druwk]

That layout of woods in the beginning was GORGEOUS! Would love to have that guitar.

[@jasong546]

There’s nothing wrong with that! If you can do it, awesome. The nice thing to me is that the core, and even the other ranges are always so great looking and sounding, that it’s possible to have a stunner without spending private stock money. My DGT was a non 10 top, in the usual old vintage sunburst, and I don’t know how it was graded because it looked like the best flame maple top they could have used. Just save your pennies for awhile, and then check for your favorite model used, and you can get a good deal.

[@MrBrooxy]

Paul signed a big PRS poster for me in '90 when I was selling the crap out of his fairly unknown at the time guitars when $1400 bought a ten-top hand signed Custom 24. ($100 spiff to me for every sale) That's the closest I'd ever get to owning one. 🎸

Just wondering how does Private Stock work, is it the best wood that’s kept aside for made to order guitars or certain clients own pieces of wood for when they want a guitar Built..

[@CasinoGuitars]

Brett hello. The woods are all graded when they come in and the best of the best makes it into private stock. This is done through both sonic qualities and of course the visual splendor. We spent a while baking on neck blocks hearing the different tones they created, that was my favorite part:)

So who created Blue Crab Smokeburst aka Blue Crab Blue (which isn't strictly blue, it's like the color of a blue crab)

[@FilBack]

How long do they take to make the guitar after you’ve picked the woods. I ask this because I’d love to do a one week trip and get back with a guitar.

[@CasinoGuitars]

Unfortunately you will probably have to extend your trip by about 13 months...:( That is the typical lead time we need with any core pieces. Sometimes 8 months if you get lucky but otherwise, the long wait begins.

[@FilBack]

@@CasinoGuitars I see. Can't you just apply for a build slot? It doesn't really take a year to make any guitar. It could be like "ok, we're ready to build your guitar on week X. Come on monday morning to select the components and we'll have it done by friday."

[@FilBack]

Oh yeah, I've just remembered they need like 8 weeks to get the moisture out of the wood.

I have a PRS, and I love it, but some of the private stocks remind me of Affliction shirts, gaudy AF.

I want a big cruci-fiction scene on my PRS guitar and it must be a semi-hollow body (preferable 12 strings with 2 ‘f’ holes), that burl 3:55 would be nice... stained gray or cobalt blue. Edit; 12:21or that one, just fill up that hole (it's in the wrong place)

[@srinip]

Does anybody worry about the tone that these wood combinations could deliver? Seems to me that all the focus is on appearance. For a guitar that is likely to cost 10 grand or more, I'd like someone to tell me what the expected tone from a combination of a black limba body and a roasted maple neck would be. Oh well, whoever buys a museum piece like this is probably not going to play it much anyway.

[@raultrujillo7750]

SriniP Regardless of the “tonewood”, PRS guitars have always had a wonderfully clear tone that actually stands up to their price point.

[@srinip]

@@raultrujillo7750 Don't get me wrong, I love PRS for many things. But at that price point, I would have hoped that tone would be at least one of the considerations. That said, the PRS tone is not my favorite, with the exception of the S2 Mira semi-hollow. My opinion is that they lack a certain fatness. Then again, opinions are like....well...you know the rest!

[@Chrispy_tV]

If you want tone get a Gibson. If you want looks get a PRS. 🤣🤣🤣

[@CasinoGuitars]

They do spend quite a bit of time trying to match up the tone woods once you select the pieces. But you do speak the truth and the first thing anyone building a private stock usually goes for is the prettiest most striking piece of wood they can find. Its the team at PRS's job to help guide and sculpt your choices if they feel the woods used for the body, top, and neck are not matching up properly. One of the ones I put together was gorgeous...but they informed me it would most likely sound extremely dead and thin with the combos I had chosen. Thanks a bunch for the comment and thank you sincerely for watching!

[@srinip]

@@CasinoGuitars Great comment, and thanks for responding! Personally, if I were to get them to build me a guitar, I'd specify, in order of importance, tone and feel, and THEN the look. I wouldn't even care if they had to pick the plainest piece of wood, as long as its a perfectly dried and cured piece and sounds incredibly when you tap it. Quite honestly, for what I play, I can't think of a better combination than the hollowbody spruce top - nice mahogany back and neck, spruce top and rosewood board. Nothing fancy, but that soft, fat tone is perfect for jazz and and blues. I might go redwood top instead, but I already have that combo, and let me tell you - that is a magic combo of woods! Thanks again for the response!
