Only 200 PRS Private Stock John McLaughlin guitars will be made in 2023. It isn’t a cheap guitar and so be prepared for your wallet to take a hit with this one.
Paul Reed Smith and Paul Miles have signed each Private Stock John McLaughlin model on the back of the headstock.
As an added detail, John McLaughlin has also autographed the back plate of each guitar.
Great looking guitar, but then it would have to be at this price.

Unfortunately nobody is ever gonna play this stunning guitar, it’s gonna be locked away in some insanely wealthy collectors safe 🙁
In a way building a musical instrument that isn’t intended for playing music is a waste of materials and resources.
