From time to time a very special piece of wood comes into our factory. It 

may be a rosewood neck blank that chimes like a bell or a piece of maple 

that is so figured it’s almost three dimensional. These are the building 

blocks of our Private Stock program. Each Private Stock instrument is made 

to order and  hand crafted from the world’s most beautiful tone woods by 

our team of highly skilled senior craftsmen led by luthier Joe Knaggs. Each 

of these instruments is personally checked and play-tested by Joe Knaggs 

and Paul Reed Smith to ensure the highest quality. This program allows you 

to order a custom designed, extraordinary instrument.
