● PRS Private Stock 30th Anniversary “Birds of a Feather” Hollowbody I — Available to order at Ladkorguitars
The PRS Private Stock 30th Anniversary “Birds of a Feather” Hollowbody I is now in stock at Ladkorguitars. This ultra-limited masterpiece celebrates 30 years of Private Stock craftsmanship and represents one of the most artistic and innovative instruments ever created by PRS.
Only 96 instruments worldwide exist.
● A New Chapter in Private Stock Tone
This model introduces a historic first: PRS TCI pickups in a Hollowbody platform.
TCI pickups deliver:
- full, rich humbucker power
- single-coil-like clarity and articulation
- exceptional dynamic response
The Hollowbody I construction adds natural air, resonance, and openness.
Mini-toggle EQ switches, personally designed by Paul Reed Smith, function as high-pass filters that remove low-end emphasis and enhance harmonic clarity.
● Artistic Design Language
The Frostbite Glow finish unifies the entire instrument visually and structurally.
Key aesthetic features:
- Private Stock Flame Maple top
- Swamp Ash back
- Gaboon Ebony / Flame Maple fretboard
- Reverse Birds of a Feather inlay design
The inlay, designed by Paul Miles, celebrates the 10th anniversary of the original Birds of a Feather concept, now appearing as rising birds transitioning from maple to ebony.
● Designer Commentary
“I wanted to design an inlay that was simple and readable from across the room, yet uniquely PRS. This was a new way of using wood to create movement and space.”
— Paul Miles, Director of Manufacturing
