PRS Private Stock Custom 24/08
Dragon's Breath Glow
Curly Maple / Swamp Ash
$10,500
“Choosing one of Private Stock's Dragon's Breath style finishes was the perfect choice... with the stain sporting a lighter color (or ‘glow’) toward the belly of the guitar that mimics the shape of a flame shooting out of a dragon's mouth.”
– PRS Official Private Stock Announcement
​PRS Private Stock Custom 24/08 in the legendary Dragon’s Breath Glow finish.
The rare use of a 'Double Maple' construction (featuring both a Curly Maple neck and fingerboard) is what allows the Dragon’s Breath finish to achieve its signature 360-degree glow. Because the labor-intensive stain is hand-applied as a directional gradient, the porous maple allows for a visual continuity that isn't possible with standard mahogany or rosewood components.
While the Custom 24 traditionally utilizes a Mahogany back, this Private Stock is built with a highly resonant Swamp Ash body. Beyond the tone, the ash provides a significant ergonomic advantage, keeping the total weight to a well-balanced 7.9 lbs without sacrificing the sustain the model is known for.
Come see this stunning guitar for yourself and give it a trial play at the shop!
