Built to commemorate Tina Sears’ 25th work anniversary at PRS, this one-of-a-kind instrument represents nearly three decades of craftsmanship, innovation, and dedication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"795\"\u003eTina has been with PRS for 29 years and is nothing short of a legend within the Private Stock world. She began her career as a pickup liner and worked her way through a variety of roles before joining Joe Knaggs’ team during his time as Director of Private Stock and R\u0026amp;D. From there, she became a cornerstone of the Private Stock department, serving as Private Stock Sales Manager from 2009 to 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"797\" data-end=\"1097\"\u003eIn that time, Tina personally spec’d over 10,000 Private Stock guitars. She and I have collaborated on a few hundred of them over the years, and working with her is always an inspiring experience. Her taste, technical knowledge, and attention to detail have shaped the DNA of countless dream guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1453\"\u003eThis anniversary build is no exception. Though not officially a Private Stock, it was built entirely by the Private Stock team to honor Tina’s legacy. It features a custom inlay designed exclusively for her by Paul Miles and the first-ever three-piece fretboard in PRS history - combining three different materials into one seamless, show-stopping design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1691\"\u003eThe inlay is completely unique and cannot be ordered by customers or dealers unless part of a 10-piece dealer-exclusive run, which is extremely rare. If a build like this were available through Private Stock, it would cost over $20,000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"1841\"\u003eThis guitar is far more than a collector’s piece - it’s a celebration of Tina’s impact on PRS and the thousands of guitars she’s helped bring to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSPECS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 8.4 lbs \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase: Original Hardshell PRS Private Stock Black Paisley Case \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2023 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Mint condition.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eModel: McCarty 594 Semi-hollow with ebony bound F-hole\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNeck wood: Ziricote\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFingerboard wood: Koa, quilted maple, ebony and blue resin with ebony binding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTop wood: Ziricote with ebony binding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBack wood: Figured mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHeadstock Veneer wood: Quilted maple \/ blue resin with ebony binding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNeck Carve: Pattern Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSide Dots: Paua\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eColor \/ Stain: Natural\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFingerboard inlays: \"Paradise Sunset\" with ebony seagulls, umbrella beach chair and palm trees\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHeadstock veneer inlays: Paul Reed Smith hand signed signature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFinish type: Satin Nitro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePickups: Treble: 58\/15 LT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBass: 58\/15 LT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eElectronics: Two volumes, two push-pull tone controls with 3-way toggle Hardware: Smoked Black PRS 2pc stoptail, phase Ill locking tuning pegs with ebony buttons, pickup rings, control knobs and switch tip, recessed curly maple truss rod cover, figured mahogany backplates as well as a bone nut Set-Up: D'Addario .010\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSpecials: Natural satin nitro finish, \"Paradise Sunset\" with ebony seagulls, umbrella beach chair and palm trees on the fingerboard, Paul Reed Smith hand signed signature on the veneer, recessed curly maple truss rod cover, paua \"25th Anniversary\" inlay on the heel, ebony binding along the top, f-hole, fingerboard and headstock veneer.
