Miami-Guitars is an authorized PRS Dealer/ Factory Warranty included. Please send us a message on Reverb if you have any questions or concerns regarding the instrument of your interest. Weight: 5 lbs 1.3 oz Thirty Years of Tone, Art, and Uncompromising Craftsmanship The PRS Private Stock 30th Anniversary "Birds of a Feather" Hollowbody I Limited Edition celebrates three decades of Private Stock craftsmanship, marrying forward-thinking guitar design and masterful artistic expression. This model introduces a notable first: PRS TCI pickups in a Hollowbody platform. Carefully tuned for musical balance and clarity, TCI pickups deliver the fullness of humbuckers while capturing the expressive character often associated with single-coil and soapbar designs. The result is a voice that is rich, articulate, and remarkably responsive. The guitar’s Hollowbody I construction adds natural resonance and openness. Further expanding the instrument’s tonal range are mini-toggle EQ switches – a feature personally favored by Paul Reed Smith. When engaged, these switches act as tuned high-pass filters, removing shelved low-end and allowing high frequencies through for enhanced clarity and musical highs. First introduced on the Private Stock John McLaughlin Limited Edition in 2023, this design has since become a defining feature on guitars equipped with TCI pickups. Visually, the 30th Anniversary “Birds of a Feather” Hollowbody I is as striking as it is refined. A luminous Frostbite Glow finish unifies the instrument’s design, highlighting the contrast between Gaboon ebony’s rich, dark color and the natural tones of flame maple. The frostbite stain extends to the figured maple found on the fretboard and neck, while the wood combination extend to details in the truss rod cover and headstock veneer. This model also marks the 10th anniversary of the Birds of a Feather fretboard inlay, designed by Director of Manufacturing and head of Private Stock Paul Miles. Notably, this limited edition features a reverse Birds of a Feather with stained maple birds rising from the base of the fingerboard into an ebony sky. This design is both understated and captivating, embodying the balance of artistry and restraint that defines Private Stock. “I wanted to design an inlay that was simple and easy to read from across the room or on a stage but was also uniquely PRS. I have always been fascinated with inlay work and PRS has afforded me the opportunity to see the evolution from hand cut shell to intricate CNC work. For me, this was a new way of looking at inlay design, using the woods to create movement and space.” - Paul Miles, Director of Manufacturing The 30th Anniversary “Birds of a Feather” Hollowbody I represents the intersection of luthiery and artistic vision. Every element reflects the expertise and imagination of the Private Stock team. The result is a guitar that is visually unforgettable and musically inspiring. Only 96 pieces of the Private Stock 30th Anniversary “Birds of a Feather” Hollowbody I will be produced.
