Back in September Brian made a visit to the PRS Guitars in MD to work on a group of special Private Stock builds for the store.

The first one arrived this week, and made us all go "WOW" when we opened the case.

This stunning PRS Private Stock #11927 Custom 24 Floyd in Indigo Glow's specs include a highly figured Flame Maple Top, Swamp Ash Back, highly figured Flame Maple neck stained to match the top, custom Birds of a Feather fretboard with the maple elements stained to match the top, HSH pickup configuration, and Smoked black hardware.

Stop by the store to see it in person, or at GuitarSanctuary.com

Been dreaming about having a Private Stock built to your specs? Give us call/text at (972)540-6420 and let us guide you through the process.

Presenting the all new IK Multimedia TONEX Cab, a new FRFR Powered Cabinet for use with Modelers (like the ToneX, ToneX One, Quad Cortex, Fractal, etc.)

Thanks to its unique DSP algorithms, TONEX Cab’s exclusive AMP TONE control stands apart, allowing players to dial in the perfect amount of real amp feel and response to any room or venue. It achieves this through precision control over the custom high-wattage Celestion 12'' guitar speaker and 1'' Lavoce high-performance compression driver.
