Collection Series III by Private Stock
Paul Reed Smith Testing Finished Collection Electrics and Acoustics
Hello everyone! Paul here. Last year at Experience PRS we got all of our best Private Stock dealers in a room and asked them to be part of a special program. The program would allow me to design and personally work on guitars at a more intimate level than anything else coming out of our shop. The program would feature exclusive specifications, such as pernambuco necks and celtic knot inlays. We would make one set per dealer each quarter – one acoustic and one electric guitar – making these instruments extremely special. That is when the Collection program was born.
What is “Sinker” Mahogany?
We’re using what we refer to as “Sinker” Mahogany for the necks on our Signature Limited models. We reserve this wood for special edition guitars and Private Stocks instruments due its rare nature and tonal qualities. So what is PRS Sinker Mahogany exactly? Paul explains in this video.
