We’ve been watching the evolution of Paul Reed Smith’s new acoustic guitars very closely. First we used one on the Tony McManus’ Maker’s Mark, The Dream Guitars Sessions, CD. Then Paul was kind enough to send us a demo guitar to critique. We put these guitars through the paces and have found them to be inspiring. Luthier Steve Fischer, formerly of McPherson Guitars, joined Paul to design the Tonare Grand and Angelus models. They employ a hybrid X and Fan Bracing pattern that really works to energize the top. We hand selected this Tonare Grand during a visit to the PRS Factory (see video below) and it’s one of the very first Private Stock acoustics from PRS. Premium Cocobolo Rosewood body, fingerboard, bridge and headplate, Bearclaw European Spruce, Select Green Abalone trim, including the new open PRS birds, this one has the best of everything and the tone is magical. Big, loud and clear as a bell. They come complete with a PRS active pickup system based on the McIntyre Feather, which we love, and an Ameritage case. We are proud to be offering Private Stock PRS acoustic guitars. Watch a video of the DG Staff testing out guitars at the PRS Factory. Watch a video of Paul Heumiler and James Condino selecting woods for upcoming PRS Private Stock Acoustic coming soon to DG.
Steven and I had the chance to play the very first run of Private Stock Tonare Grand and Angelus acoustics while we were at the PRS Factory. While they were all great, we chose one of each model that just had something extra special. This Tonare Grand is loud and strong and beautiful sounding all at once. The energy coming off the top is really fun and this PRS guitar is very versatile. This guitar emodies PRS quality and offers a fresh design and voice. We are absolutely delighted to have this relationship with PRS Guitars. 
These new PRS Acoustics are really great. They've done their research and have come up with the perfect all-purpose acoustic. It's good for strumming or fingerpicking and it has a built-in pickup system. The finish quality is all PRS. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
