Chosen for their ability to pay attention to the finest details and their passion for building the finest instruments, the small team of Private Stock craftsmen represent the pinnacle of PRS design and execution. By continually pushing the envelope at every stage of the build, these specialty luthiers see every instrument for its potential as an heirloom, a piece of art, and tool to make music.

Instrument making is a very personal thing at PRS, and at the end of the day, every member of the team wants your Private Stock to look, feel, and sound its best.
