In 2008, Paul Reed Smith built "Paul's 28" which where 28 hand-built guitars by Paul himself using the absolute best in materials. They were $30k+ and sold very, very fast.
The Private Stock Violin I McCarty was the follow up - the same guitar, same materials, not built by Paul himself but by the Private Stock team. Still, they were limited to just 50 pieces worldwide (displayed here is #30). These guitars, like the Paul's 28 before them, tend to live in private collections and are rarely sold... until today.
The PRS Violin McCarty offered here features an incredible flamed maple top, rare Celtic knot inlays, Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, and very desirable solid Pernambuco neck (no longer available).
Not many Violin I's come up for sale - secure this one before it disappears into someone else's collection.

Weight: 7.6lbs
Case: Original Hardshell Case w/ COA
Year: 2010. COA says 2009 but back of headstock says 2010 - build date on headstock is early in 2010 so likely the COA was made in late 2009 before the guitar actually finished.
Cosmetic Condition: Guitar is extremely clean with only a few minor imperfections. There are two very small dings on the back of the guitar as well as a bit of pick scratching on the top just below the strings. See our listing photos.
