USED Paul Reed Smith (PRS) / 2008 Private Stock #2042 Custom 22 Glacier Blue [03]

2008 Private Stock #2042 Custom 22 Glacier Blue now in stock used!

Private Stock
PRS's pinnacle line, 'Private Stock', is crafted entirely through custom orders separate from the standard production line.
Crafted by a select group of master artisans using the rarest woods and most luxurious inlays imaginable, each model in this series is painstakingly built. These guitars are not only artistic and beautiful works of craftsmanship, but also represent the ultimate guitar, meticulously perfected in every aspect from sound to playability.

Body
The top features meticulously book-matched quilted maple, ensuring beautiful grain patterns are symmetrically aligned. This not only creates a stunning visual appearance but also contributes to a clear, responsive sound with excellent attack.
The back is crafted from Corina (Limba), renowned for its lightweight nature and rich mid-to-low frequencies. It combines a warm tone with excellent response, achieving a well-balanced sound character when paired with the top wood.

Neck
The neck also utilizes Corina wood, matching the body back. Not only is it lightweight and easy to handle, but it possesses characteristics that produce extended midrange and smooth sustain, achieving a unified resonance with the body.
Fingerboard The fingerboard features Macassar ebony, characterized by its hardness, high density, and uniformly dark grain. It combines excellent durability with a smooth playing feel, producing a tight and clear sound image that further tightens the overall response of the neck structure.

The bird inlay, combining white mother-of-pearl with Paua shell edging, brings beautiful contrast and a brilliant luster to the fingerboard. This delicate yet striking decoration enhances visual appeal even during performance.
Furthermore, the neck features an exceptionally wide purfling (edging), a specification no longer accepted for orders today, adding a sense of luxury and exclusivity. This meticulous specification embodies the beauty and rarity of a true work of art.

Pickups
Two "57/08" pickups are installed, pursuing the PRS signature vintage sound. Inspired by the 1957 humbucker, these pickups use Alnico 2 magnets to deliver a modern yet classic tone. They offer exceptionally easy-to-handle sound.

Condition
The condition shows minimal wear, with only slight paint fading, minor scratches, and some dullness on parts. Naturally, all playability-related aspects—the neck, frets, truss rod, etc.—are in perfect working order.
Additionally, upon arrival, our repair center performed a full adjustment and fret leveling, so you can use it with confidence.
