If Tony puts his name on it, it’s got our vote. This 2012 PRS Tony McManus Signature Private Stock is a well balanced, well oiled machine–clean and smooth across the registers, set up for both fingerstyle and flatpicks, and appointed with gorgeous Abalone birds and trim. Back and sides are Cocobolo Rosewood, with a European Spruce top and 25.25″ scale; plenty of tension for DADGAD, but still easy on the hands.

Tony and I go way back, and Tony goes way back with Paul Reed Smith as well. Those two really nailed it when they collaborated on the McManus Private Stock series. Top notch tonewoods and playability, and a voice that's perfect for the celtic fingerstylist, and at home on the stage with its PRS pickup system too. 
Great mix of power and clarity, with sweet mids and well balanced from bass to trebles. This McManus Private Stock is one to lose track of time with. | Scale Length | 25.25 in |
