USED Paul Reed Smith (PRS) / 2014 Private Stock #5225 30th Anniversary Limited Custom 24 Vintage Yellow [03]

The "Private Stock #5225 30th Anniversary Limited Custom 24 Vintage Yellow," a 2014 model produced in a limited run of 60 guitars worldwide (20 in each color) to commemorate PRS's 30th anniversary, has arrived in stock!

Private Stock
"Private Stock" is PRS’s premier line, crafted entirely through custom orders separate from the standard production line.
Crafted by a select group of master artisans using the rarest woods and luxurious inlays, the models in this series are the ultimate guitars, characterized by an artistic and beautiful appearance that could be called a work of art, as well as a sound and playability that have been meticulously refined in every detail.

Body
The top features stunningly grained quilted maple.
The back is made of African ribbon mahogany, resulting in a classic wood configuration.

It features a pre-factory top curve and heel, resulting in a sharp arch and small neck heel reminiscent of the early Custom 24.

The finish is the classic "Vintage Yellow" in a high-gloss nitrocellulose finish.

Neck
The neck is crafted from rare "Peruvian Mahogany."
Peruvian mahogany is a slightly harder wood than traditional mahogany and is characterized by its quick response.

The fingerboard is made of "Madagascar Rosewood." It is adorned with "30th Anniversary birds" inlays made of Paua and Abalone purfling, adding a touch of elegance to the fingerboard.

The neck shape is "Pattern Regular." It offers a moderate thickness and a secure, comfortable grip.

Pickups
The guitar is equipped with the "85/15" pickups, which are a refined version of the early 1985 PRS pickups, updated to mark the 30th anniversary. Additionally, pulling the tone knob activates the Sweet Switch, originally found on the early Custom 24 models; when engaged, it applies a tone shaping that mellows the high frequencies.

With Private Stock models featuring unique combinations of woods, parts, and specifications—each one truly one-of-a-kind—encountering one is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you are considering purchasing one, please contact us as soon as possible.
