It’s probably safe to say that I’ve helped more lefty customers build their dream Paul Reed Smith Private Stock guitars than anyone else. (I can build one for you, too.) Way back when (2013), I managed to convince the Private Stock department to build me singlecut guitars, paying the development cost to do so, and ordering three out of the gate. This one was the first … an SC-245, with a gorgeous one-piece quilted maple top, in aquamarine, with a solid Brazilian neck, Brazilian fingerboard, Brazilian headstock veneer, and stone azurite chtysacola inlays with 10 karat gold outlines. The pickups have been upgraded to the venerable 58/15 LTs, and they are individually splittable by pulling the tone controls. Nice and light, just under 8 pounds. With original case, which has some miles on it. The guitar is in nice condition, some light play wear and a couple of small dents on the pickup covers. A little piece of lefty Private Stock history. Getting these singlecuts built opened the door to building five Hollowbody 2 guitars, and now they will make me pretty much anything.
Condition: Excellent; Body: African ribbon mahogany with a one-piece quilted maple top; Neck: Sold Brazilian rosewood, Pattern carve, Brazilian fretboard; Pickups: PRS 58/15 LT; Scale: 24.5; Lefthanded guitar (of course)
