As others have said, it's less custom than it could be right now. I had 3 PS builds declined last year until I just gave up and ordered a custom shop strat instead. However, you never know until you ask. I went through GuitarGuitar in Newcastle and even spoke directly to Jez at PRS Europe to try...

The top on that 594HB is pretty spectacular. Looks like it says Employee Guitar on it?

I just saw that guitar on Righteous Guitars website. Yes, it's Hormigo.

Very probably. I tried to order one recently with brushstroke birds on the fingerboard and a traditional PS eagle on the headstock and was told no. And that's just a combination of existing designs, not something totally new.

Yes. But not as much as an acoustic instrument. Tone wood deniers are out there though who will tell you it makes no difference if you make an electric guitar out of aluminium or alder. Funnily enough a violin maker was telling me there are ongoing experiments with 3D printed violins, the...

The wear on the body is no issue for me, the peeling finish on the neck makes it a pass.

I'm not familiar with the conditioner itself but I found the one you're talking about with google. I would guess they say not to use it on maple boards for one of two reasons. Either A: Maple boards have been given a finish to protect them and the conditioner is going to be totally ineffective...

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.

Sorry, but if you pay the money for ultra premium products, that's what you deserve. However on your other point I agree, so I said no thanks to their alternative. I want the guitar I want, not the one you're prepared to make.

At a certain price point (and certainly PS guitars are in this category), 'difficulty' becomes irrelevant. That level of quality/finish is simply what is acceptable. I've recently put forward 2 different builds for a PS quote; the first was simply a no that's impossible, the second was also a...

Black cherry is one of my favourite PRS colours, never seen a 594 in it till now, and it's very nice :)

Will add them to the list! Looks like I'll be spending a bit of extra time browsing the next time I search

I will check those two out. Thanks!

Just trying to gather some info on the best places to check on a semi-regular basis for used (or even new) private stock guitars? Obviously Reverb and ebay, any dealer sites? Hopefully it's OK to mention specific dealers, if not then obviously don't mention them...

Get well soon Mikko! Not that I can compete with the usual goodies, but I'll share a pic of an upgrade I just made to my wood library guitar. As it was: And with some home made private stockification from my wood supplies:

Beaut! And as others have said, the perfect colour/top combination.

My thoughts EXACTLY.

Ask and ye shall receive. Also grabbed a couple more of the back of the neck (the figure did not look this vibrant in the dealer pics online, VERY pleased with how it looks in person), and the inlays. I checked the spec sheet, they're not abalone, they're gold mother of pearl. Well...I'll...

New to me anyway, it's a 2017 guitar that just looks brand new. As far as I can tell this guitar has been held very gently and cuddled for 5 years. Finding it actually meant that I've altered the build I was trying to get PRS to do as Private Stock since the specs were so similar. Main...

Seems I started some discussion. FWIW my dealer put me in touch directly with PRS Europe to talk the build over. He also felt like the thinner CU24 body was what was likely to be the problem, so he has emailed asking if a thicker body will make it possible. I'm actually a custom knife maker...
