PRS Private Stock #9485 Hollowbody II Electric Guitar - Singularity

A symphony of Private Stock tonewoods

Paul Reed Smith's Private Stock Vault contains some of the finest tonewoods on the planet. When Sweetwater's guitar experts visit the Vault, they can smell the wood, feel it, wet it to reveal the grain, and knock on it to hear its distinctive tone. This gives them a keen sense of the unique instruments we finally present to you. The Private Stock #9485 Hollowbody II features a resonant mahogany body with an attention-grabbing mahogany top and back. Besides its head-turning looks, constructing the body this way delivers a warm, sustaining sound with plenty of clarity and harmonic overtones. This hollowbody electric guitar also includes a comfortable curly maple neck and gaboon ebony fingerboard with eye-catching MOP-outlined Birds inlays. A PS Eagle inlay adorns the Private Stock #9485 Hollowbody II's headstock, with curly maple tuner buttons, natural binding, and a satin nitro finish completing this guitar's exclusive look.

Delivers a clear and smooth vintage voice

When you plug the Private Stock #9485 Hollowbody II into your favorite amp, you will be enveloped in a rich and decidedly vintage tone, thanks to its 58/15 bridge humbucker — the warm and clear sonic elixir that propelled these PRS pickups to the top of many guitarists' favorite PAF-style humbucker lists. In the neck, you'll find a 57/08, which delivers the iconic warmth and responsive tone of 1950s-era guitars. If you want to replicate the best, you should go right to the source. That's just what PRS did when they bought the same coil wire manufacturing machine that '50s-era guitar makers used to create some of the most iconic-sounding pickups in history. Their approach has paid glorious sonic dividends. From rock to jazz to country, from chimey rhythm parts to blistering leads — and everything in between — the Private Stock #9485 Hollowbody II delivers.

Pattern neck profile for fluid playability

Some of the least visible but most powerful features of the Private Stock #9485 Hollowbody II include a neck feel that maximizes performance and comfort with an asymmetrical Pattern profile — a favorite among legions of guitarists. An updated version of PRS's coveted Wide Fat neck style, the Pattern profile feels rounder and more formidable to fill your hand in just the right way.
