Let's see some of the early ones. So watcha got below 500? :dontknow:

I'll start with these:

PS #156 BRW neck.








PS #193 Flame Maple neck







PS #360 BRW neck





 
Eye candy galore! So how did someone go about getting a custom piece before the PS program was created? Was there a pricing standard like there is today or was it on a case-by-case basis?
 
#234, also built in Y2K...

Jamie,

I well remember that day! You & I were sitting in Paul's office and he was considering buying that redwood 'special' that you had. He looked at you and said "well what do you want for it?" and your answer was priceless......"just make me a Private Stock". I almost hit the floor....wish you had warned me about that one ahead of time!! Hard to believe that was 15 years ago. :five:

Well done....both if you!
Jim

That is cool.

Markie: I highly recommend locking up #35 next time I'm in Indy.
 
Nothing to show, but it's certainly a pleasure to gaze upon the early axes of the PS kingdom.

Still one of my favorite guitars ever. I'm loving the earthy tones of these early private stocks.
 
For the record, this thread rules!! Thanks for sharing your 'vintage' Private Stocks!!
