My PRS Private Stock Journey...

Where’s the link, yo?

Dude, you know I love you.

It’s blue.

I’m not a Vela or trem guy, BUT hubba-hubba!:p:D
 
Don’t you have a Koa CE too? And wasn’t there a green one with a white back?

Not that I stalk much. :rolleyes:

I do have this Koa CE with birds and a flame neck, but it’s not a PS (long story). I will have to keep it under lock and key this weekend as Hans is coming for a visit, and he has been trying to steal it for years. :oops:







Hmmmm. Green one with white back?

They certainly exist, which is why I’m surprised they won’t still make a CE PS. As a matter of fact, I used to own the CE PS listed above; it was created for my good friend, Tom I****, and I bought it from him. What is sad, is that that guitar came with two different necks, because Tom wasn’t happy with the shape of the original (He wanted a baseball bat R8 ‘50s LP carve). It’s borderline criminal to me that someone sold off the 2nd neck separately, which was its most unique feature. :mad: Also, one was fiddleback maple and the other was unfigured.

I still own this bolt-on NF private Stock, which was one of the last Celtic knot inlays (before they restricted them to “Collector’s” editions).




too much GAS for this guitar. Must not look at it

Maybe it was that other guy in Indiana?
 
PS now seems more like, a grade or a tier of a build rather than a full-on custom shop.

There’s also so many dealer’s builds and dealer specific “exclusives”. Like, I’m not blaming dealers, they’re obviously selling and enough people want them, but I kinda don’t get why customers would wanna buy a PS someone else designed over a WL for half the cost. It’s clogging up production, and feels like ordering a Maury Amsterdam sandwich rather than creating your own.

Some dealer runs are dope like the Moore’s “first birds” Frampton guitars. Dunno how well those sold, but it was a cool idea, and seemed like something that PRS shoulda done themselves like as a PS GOTM thing. But there’s tons of kinda “basic” PS runs of CU24’s and 594’s that no longer elicit a “wow” from me, and I dunno if I could get all that invested in a guitar store’s aesthetic legacy.

I could just be jaded from 12 years of PSF.
