Only twelve of these instruments will be made for December 2016, commemorating Private Stock’s 20th Anniversary.
“Revisiting the Guitars of the Month program to celebrate Private Stock’s 20th Anniversary has been a joy,” stated Paul Reed Smith of PRS Guitars. “I encourage everyone to visit the website to see all twelve models. While each instrument is a testament to the Private Stock team’s dedication to design, innovation and craftsmanship, seeing all twelve of these very limited edition instruments together as a group, is really something special to behold.”
The original Guitars of the Month were built between December 1994 and March 1996. They provided the opportunity to experiment with new ideas and led directly to the creation of the Private Stock program, with the first “official” Private Stock instrument shipping on April 19, 1996.
