The Private Stock Archtop was released in the fall as part of the 2016 model year. This model delivers tone, playability, and elegance to pro-level players and collectors alike. The addition of a maple top adds a new aesthetic and tone to the instrument while keeping exceptional resonance and articulation.
Like PRS acoustics, the back and sides of the Archtop are “locked down” while the top is left to vibrate freely. The top’s integral, parallel bracing further support the instrument’s build integrity and resonance; while the guitar’s Private Stock aluminum bronze bridge with brass saddles and solid ebony tailpiece further support the instrument’s woody depth and richness without sacrificing articulation.
Only six of these instruments will be made for March 2016, commemorating Private Stock’s 20th Anniversary. The original Guitars of the Month were cased between December 1994 and March 1996. They provided the opportunity to experiment with new ideas and led directly to the creation of the Private Stock program, with the first “official” Private Stock instrument casing on April 19, 1996.
