"There's something magic 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 beautiful and best-playing guitar money can buy, but the best sounding. If you decide on a Private Stock guitar, we will give everything we have to make it the best instrument you’ve ever experienced.”    Paul Reed Smith

“I love being a guitar maker because I get to be a designer, painter, and sculptor. Every day I collaborate with people who share the same passion for craft, and we challenge each other to find the ideal balance between form and function. We always test ourselves against the past while looking ahead for new possibilities.”

– Paul Miles, Director of Private Stock
