For the first time in history, PRS is inviting dealers and distributors to the factory to hand select wood for Private Stock instruments. This invitation is on a first come, first served basis, and the first 25 dealers and distributors to attend will receive special incentives. This invitation is for dealers, distributors and distributor’s dealers primarily and a limited number of end use customers.

Choose from scores of different types of woods for tops, backs, neck blanks, fingerboard and headstock veneers, inlay materials and colors. PRS also has acoustic materials available to choose from, which include back and side sets, tops, neck blanks, fingerboards, headstock veneer woods, inlay materials and colors. Along with the hundreds and hundreds of wood pieces to choose from, Paul is also making his personal woods available, which are at the highest level in the world.

During the tour, everyone will have the chance to talk with the Private Stock team members, take pictures, pick out woods and inlays for Private Stock orders, etc. Visitors are welcome to take photos of the woods and send them to potential Private Stock customers. Orders must be placed and confirmed during the visit, and wood cannot be put “on hold”
