Introducing the Private Stock John McLaughlin Limited Edition - a 200 piece run of instruments meticulously spec’d by Paul Reed Smith to honor John McLaughlin. All of the woods were specially chosen by Paul for their tone, figure, and weight. Paul Reed Smith and Paul Miles have signed each Private Stock John McLaughlin model on the back of the headstock. As an added detail, John McLaughlin has autographed the backplate of each instrument.
“Being John’s guitar maker is an honor I fought decades for, and to now be able to give him a signature model is a special moment for me and hopefully the industry. These guitars were designed to both feel like magic when you pick them up but also disappear in your hands so you can just focus on playing. John is capable of playing at extraordinary speed and with this instrument, you hear every note. Finding that balance as a guitar maker and coaxing every bit of sound out of the guitar was the key.” - Paul Reed Smith
