PRS Private Stock | Modern Eagle V - Frostbite Fade

Available for purchase is an exquisite PRS Private Stock Modern Eagle V, epitomising the pinnacle of material quality, personalised craftsmanship, and the highest level of customisation offered by PRS. Each Private Stock is meticulously conceived and built with a unique "one-off" mentality, resulting in heirloom-quality musical instruments. Paul Reed Smith, the founder, expresses the program's essence: "There's something magical about guitars because they are simultaneously musical instruments, pieces of art, tools to joyfully spend time with, and treasured possessions. The goal of Private Stock is not only to create the most visually stunning and best-playing guitar money can buy, but also the best sounding. Should you opt for a Private Stock guitar, PRS pledges to invest everything to ensure it becomes the finest instrument you've ever experienced."

The Modern Eagle V is an innovative instrument that offers highly musical tones for both recording and playing live. Utilising a hum/single/hum (five-coil) pickup layout and unique electronics configuration, the Modern Eagle V gives players a vast array of tones in one guitar. The 5-way blade switch selects the pickups in intuitive groupings: treble, treble and middle, middle, middle and bass, and bass. There is a single volume and a push/pull tone control that activates both humbuckers when engaged; this allows players to access all three pickups simultaneously. Finally, the mini toggles allow players to individually separate the humbucker coils, turning the outside pickups into true single coils. This electronics design puts a whole set of classic and new tones at your fingertips.

The guitar features an Ash neck, Quilt Maple top, and Swamp Ash back. Its striking Frostbite Fade colour is complemented by the captivating Quilt Maple on the fingerboard, headstock, and truss rod cover, inlayed with special sparkle resin and Mother of Pearl birds and Mother of Pearl purfling for a breathtaking aesthetic. The High Gloss Nitro finish enhances the aesthetic appeal.

Only the finest hardware is utilised, featuring a Smoke Black PRS Gen III tremolo bridge for exceptional sonic fidelity, player ergonomics, and revolutionary tuning stability. PRS Phase III setscrew locking tuning pegs with black wing buttons combine modern locking technology with vintage elegance, promoting tone transfer for a louder, more resonant instrument.

This exceptional guitar comes protected in a stunning Private Stock Black Paisley hard case and includes a certificate signed by Paul Reed Smith, Paul Miles (Director of Private Stock), and the final assembler.

While its visual appeal is undeniably striking, it's crucial to note that this guitar is not merely style-over-substance. At its core, it remains an outstanding Modern Eagle V guitar, offering both incredible aesthetics and remarkable sound. Unlike some custom guitars where woods are chosen primarily for their appearance, this guitar balances good looks with tonal excellence.
