PRS Private Stock Collection Grand Quilted Maple Espresso Micro Burst NOS

In 2011, PRS introduced the "Collection Series" guitars. Each year, one acoustic and one electric model were released in a very limited edition. These Collection instruments could not be ordered directly from PRS and were only available from a select few dealers, which also means that finding one 'in the wild' is a rare occurrence!

This Collection Grand model was part of the Collection Series III. It comes specifically from the distribution in Japan and has never been sold so this is now a New Old Stock!

It's made from the best materials available to PRS, and it shows! The quilted maple steals the show with its Espresso finish, while the Adirondack top is lavishly decorated with a Paua purfling and Celtic-Cross rosette of Paua, abalone, and gold. The latter combination of materials is also used for the fingerboard inlays, where only the abalone has made way for 'mammoth ivory'.

Now all these great materials make not only a great looking, but also a great sounding guitar. The sound character is full, refined and powerful with a perfect balance. As a bonus, the PRS Acoustic System is also built in so it can go on stage or into the studio.

The only tiny blemish that can be found on this otherwise 'as new' looking guitar, is a minuscule lacquer hairline between the rosette and fretboard. Comes in the original case with TFOA passport.
