The Private Stock “Periscope Guitar” #3 Is Complete!

If you're wondering how the “Periscope Guitars” started, we'll explain. A few months ago we grabbed Paul Reed Smith and asked him if he wanted to try something new. We showed him an app called Periscope. Using the app, we were able to live-stream a broadcast of Paul inside our Wood Vault - a special section of our shop where we keep our finest Private Stock grade woods. During the broadcast, Paul solicited the help of viewers to select woods for what we have now affectionally dubbed the 3rd “Periscope Guitar!” The guitar came out great!

While Paul is heavily involved in pretty much every aspect of our business - it’s not often you find him choosing woods and writing up specs for an entire guitar!

Check out the video below to see the wood selection for Periscope Guitar #3!
