PRS Private Stock Brazilian #4222 Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Choice tonewoods give you rich, balanced sound
  • 53/10 humbuckers deliver vintage single-coil vibe without the noise
  • Feast your eyes on a Private Stock work of art
Choice tonewoods give you rich, balanced sound

To give the PRS Private Stock Brazilian #4222 a rich yet balanced sound, PRS began by selecting the tried-and-true combination of mahogany topped with maple. The mahogany body gives you natural tonal warmth, which really adds character to the sound. By nature, mahogany is a bit dark sounding, which is where the brighter tone of the maple top comes in. Together, these tonewoods give you an incredibly rich, balanced sound with body, depth, and snap.

53/10 humbuckers deliver vintage single-coil vibe without the noise

Speaking of tone, the PRS Private Stock Brazilian #4222's 53/10 pickups rock. Inspired by the sound of '50s single-coil pickups, 53/10s give you sweetness and warmth - and bite when you dig in. But these are humbuckers, so you get all this vintage goodness without the noise. PRS even went so far as to procure the same wire-coil equipment that '50s-era guitar makers used to make some of the best-sounding pickups in history - just so they could give you the timeless tone you desire.

Feast your eyes on a Private Stock work of art

The PRS Private Stock Brazilian #4222 is crafted by PRS's elite luthiers. To earn their world-class status, PRS Private Stock instruments have to pass muster by Paul Reed Smith himself. With top-drawer materials, workmanship, playability, and tone, the PRS Private Stock Brazilian #4222 is simultaneously a work of art, a family heirloom, and a working guitarist's axe.
