SKU: Paul's 28
Paul Reed Smith returned to his guitar making roots this winter and created an exclusive set of Private Stock guitars that became known as Paul's 28. As a guitar maker, Paul Smith has spent his career seeking, testing and refining parts, processes and workmanship used to create musical instruments with impeccable quality and aesthetic appeal. Paying tribute to the craft of making fine musical instruments, Paul set out to create 28 very special electric guitars with the sound, feel, care and appeal of the finest violins and vintage guitars ever made. Paul personally picked out all of the woods, re-carved the body to original shop specs, carved the necks by hand, stained, helped finish, leveled frets, spec'd out and approved all of the pickups, and played and adjusted the guitars. Rare woods and materials that have been collected for more than a decade have been used to create these one of a kind instruments.
Paul's 28 guitars feature extraordinarily curly PRS tops (from a tree Paul obtained by trading a Dragon I), an ultra rare ribbon-striped mahogany back that was hand-selected from an entire warehouse of wood, an exotic black rosewood fretboard, a dark Mexican rosewood headstock veneer and solid-shell rippled green Abalone, Paua Heart, and Mammoth Ivory "Celtic Cross" inlays. The multitude of parts and processes that went into the creation of these instruments have been personally refined by Paul over many, many years: the wood drying methods, the color (called "Burnt Gold" - Paul worked on the stain method for the last two years), the very special paper-thin nitrocellulose finish, the pickups (PRS proprietary 1957/2008 pickups made from rare magnet and wire supplies), the nut, the tuning pegs, the frets, the glues...everything. Paul even spent two years researching the materials for the case.
