Private Stock's 20th Anniversary - A 2016 Retrospective
Posted Dec 19, 2016
PRS PRIVATE STOCK
For 20 years now, Private Stock has represented the highest quality PRS has to offer. The members of the Private Stock team are exceptionally trained to build our most personally crafted custom instruments by combining passion, attention to detail, and the highest quality of materials.
This 20th anniversary year was celebrated in a momentous way as our Private Stock department brought back a classic program we affectionately call "Guitar of The Month." Over the past 12 months, Private Stock released 12 incredibly unique and exquisite limited edition models in varying quantities. Below, let's take a look back at this year's models!
