PRS Private Stock Dragon 35th Anniversary
The MusicStreet Setup Advantage: Why Your PRS Private Stock Deserves It
Paul Reed Smith Private Stock guitars are built with uncompromising attention to detail in the USA, featuring flawless quality control. However, because these instruments are crafted from real, highly responsive solid tonewoods and finished in thin, breathable nitrocellulose lacquer, they naturally breathe and shift during transit. Changes in temperature, humidity, and string tension during their journey to our showroom can cause subtle shifts in neck relief, saddle heights, and pickup balance.
At MusicStreet, we treat every Private Stock instrument with the utmost care. We perform a **complimentary £75 professional workshop setup** on every single PRS Private Stock guitar we sell. Our expert luthiers adjust the truss rod, file the nut slots to prevent string binding, set the bridge height and saddle radius for a comfortable low action, set the intonation, and polish the frets to ensure your new instrument plays flawlessly straight out of the box.
🔧 Free £75 Professional Setup
Every PRS Private Stock is individually set up in our in-house workshop. We adjust the action, intonation, neck relief, and nut slots to match your playing style, ensuring it plays perfectly straight out of the box.
🛡️ 12-Month Warranty
We stand behind every instrument we sell. All of our PRS Private Stock guitars come with a full 12-month warranty, giving you complete peace of mind with your purchase.
🚚 Free UK Delivery & 7-Day Returns
Get free, fully insured UK shipping on all orders over £99. If the guitar isn't the perfect fit for your hands, return it to us within 7 days for a hassle-free refund or exchange.
The Paul Reed Smith Private Stock Program: Inside the Vault
The PRS Custom Shop, known globally as the Private Stock program, was established in 1996 as a way to create instruments of the highest possible quality using the most exotic and beautiful materials available. Every Paul Reed Smith Private Stock build is treated as a unique project, utilizing woods that are hand-selected from the legendary "Private Stock Vault" at the PRS factory in Stevensville, Maryland. Explore our core offerings:
PRS Private Stock Custom 24
The ultimate expression of a modern classic. A **PRS Private Stock Custom 24** features hand-selected, highly figured maple tops (often 10-Top or Artist Grade), unique neck woods like roasted maple or rosewood, and exclusive pickup configurations. It delivers the legendary playability of the Custom 24 with a completely unique aesthetic and tonal character.
PRS Private Stock McCarty
Vintage heart with custom-spec luxury. The **PRS Private Stock McCarty** models (including the McCarty 594) combine vintage-correct scale lengths and neck profiles with hand-selected, exotic tonewoods. These custom-spec instruments offer collectors and professional touring musicians the absolute ultimate in vintage tone, feel, and aesthetic luxury.
Exotic Woods & Pre-Owned
Boutique versatility. In the vault, only the top 1% of all tonewoods are kept. Here, you will find breathtaking curly maple, quilted maple, exotic burls, ancient swamp ash, lightweight korina, and highly figured mahogany. We also stock a constantly rotating selection of certified pre-owned PRS guitars. Explore our used range in our Pre-Owned Collection or view the parent PRS Guitars UK collection.
