PRS continues growing their acoustic line at Winter NAMM 2011 by adding to the Tonare Grand and Angelus Cutaway.

The Collection Grand as well as signature model acoustics from Tony McManus and Martin Simpson add to the list of instruments offered within the PRS Private Stock acoustics line. Tony McManus and Martin Simpson, award-winning folk guitarists have worked with Paul Reed Smith and the PRS Acoustic team to make their signature models.

The Private Stock Collection Grand combines the perimeter shape of a Tonare Grand and the body depth of an Angelus Cutaway. Rare materials including mammoth ivory and diamond inlay bridge pins are used in these instruments.

Bearclaw tops, exotic species backs and sides and gold mother of pearl custom inlays are some the features available on Private Stock acoustics.
