Building The Perfect PRS Private Stock Beast: A Winter Gray Rocktober Day in Wonkaville
Check out a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nQnPxqV8no
The PRS Private Stock #5438 Winter Gray P22 with trem, the feathered-crotch walnut-back brainchild of Pfennrock, known on the forums as the infamous 11Top, marks the first-time use of the icy-steel color. Winter Gray! She commemorates the wild ride to Wonkaville that we took back in Rocktober, 2014. The sea was angry that day. Pfennrock and I had just swam "the channel," our name for The Chesapeake Bay. Paul Smith had fired up the chain saw and was cutting up an amazing chunk of feathered-crotch walnut. A cold, blustery Rocktober day, I remember Tina insisted on making and serving her delicious piping-hot homemade chicken soup. Paul Miles ran windsprints in the parking lot. Pfenninger spied the amazing chunk of feathered-crotch walnut. We exchanged knowing glances. I saw it in Pfennrock's eyes. There was a gleam. Yes, a gleeeeeeam! Pfennrock, adorned in his trademark Joseph A. Bank black-leather sportcoat, moved like a molten-metal madman, securing a killer chunk of chevron quilt maple, a ferocious flame-maple neck, a black-as-night ebony fretboard and cutting-edge 5815 pickups hot off the grill. Several months later, we find ourselves in the presence of the hand-selected Pfennrock-edition Wild West PRS Private Stock Powerhouse P22 of The Ages. The electric/piezo vision of 11Top! Straight outta Wonkaville! The Beast from The East is now available on The Dusty Plains of The Wild West. The same magic Private Stock Wood Library journey can take place for anyone with the mindset to achieve an amazing exotic tonewood axe that brings to life a guitar vision. Brazilian Rosewood, Pernambuco, Coco Bolo, Chaltecoco, Ebony, Tasmanian Blackwood, African Blackwood, Killer Quilt and Flame Maple, Birdseye Maple, Peruvian Mahogany, Swamp Ash, Pau Ferro; Ka-Pow! All of these exotic flavors are ripe, red-hot and ready for the taking. Afterward, in celebration, we rode a river of ice-cold ones at The Jetty, as Paul Smith and Paul Miles arm-wrestled and drank whiskey. Let's Rock The Ram's Head! -DFD
