PRS’s Private Stock range has expanded again with a Private Stock John McLaughlin signature model.

The Private Stock range is PRS’s top-tier collection, with woods from their Wood Library often being hand selected for tonality, weight, consistency and aesthetics. The Private Stock John McLaughlin is the latest from the collection.

John McLaughlin is a jazz legend, having pioneered jazz fusion and spent decades in a melting pot of genres, constantly pushing the boundaries of guitar as we know and understand it.

The Private Stock John McLaughlin signature mode is a double cutaway, solid-body electric featuring dual TCI pickups controlled by volume and tone controls, with a 3-way toggle pickup switch and two mini-toggle EQ switches, the mini toggles acting as high pass filters. The body is a mahogany back and maple top, but the neck is made from hormigo, a musical wood used to build marimbas. Speaking to guitar, John said:

“Playing music is a way of being. Playing an instrument requires you to move out of the normal level of consciousness. If you’re thinking, you’re not playing. If you’re playing, you’re not thinking. If you have problems with your instrument, you’re not going to move out of the thinking zone and into your own world. This is why I love my guitar. For me, it’s perfect.”

PRS will build just 200 of the guitars in 2023.
