Larrivee's Traditional Series was created with two things in mind: Create an instrument with traditional 'vintage' features like a flat-top headstock, hand-carved volute, and diamond inlays; but at the same time maintain the unique tonal balance of the standard Larrivée symmetrical parabolic bracing system. An enlarged soundhole allows significantly greater mid-range punch, emphasizing the low end, and increasing overall volume. This 50 Series features Larrivee's highest grade mahogany, herringbone trim, and traditional angled bone nut. The casted bronze open-back tuners feature engraved design work by Wendy Larrivee. One of the many fine details that put this series in a category of their own.

  Introducing the 40th Anniversary Custom 24 Limited Edition, celebrating four decades of PRS Guitars. Limited to 400 pieces worldwide, this special edition features both traditional design features and new appointments, making it an essential piece for serious musicians and collectors alike.
  Built on the tried-and-true foundation of a mahogany back and neck with artist grade maple top, the 40th Anniversary Custom 24 boasts a retro violin top carve, PRS “Old School” birds with outlines, and PRS “Pre-Factory” headstock eagle, all of which pay homage to early PRS guitars. Outside of these aesthetic attributes, the 40th Anniversary Custom 24 is looking ahead with its all-new PRS DMO Treble and Bass pickups. DMO pickups (DMO standing for Dynamic, Musical, Open) were spec'd by Paul Reed Smith and the PRS New Products Engineering team to have a wide open sound with vocal character.

The PRS CE 24-08 Black Limba Limited Edition blends style and performance for players who demand excellence. The black limba body will turn heads with its unique grain, rich color, and powerful but warm voice. Equipped with PRS’s intuitive 24-08 switching system, the CE 24-08 offers a wide array of tonal possibilities. With eight different pickup configurations at your fingertips, you can effortlessly transition from powerful humbucking tones to crisp single-coil sounds. Whether you’re shredding through a hard rock anthem or laying down a smooth jazz line, this guitar adapts to your style with ease.

  The PRS S2 Series is now updated with USA-made pickup and electronics. PRS is proud to bring this added value to what has become a fully integrated part of their manufacturing line and product offering.
  The S2 Custom 24 takes the original PRS guitar, the Custom 24, and re-imagines it with stripped-down features and a new aesthetic. Retaining the classic maple top/mahogany back combination with our classic body shape and an asymmetrical beveled top, this guitar has a resonant, powerful voice. Its versatility comes from its Maryland, USA-wound 85/15 pickups and 5-way blade switch, offering all the same sounds as the flagship Custom 24. Familiar for PRS players of old, and a fresh take for players of all types.

Salvaged from the ancient Koa forests of the Big Island of Hawaii, the Hawaiian Country Boy’s Koa backs and sides sound as good as they look, offering a rich midrange and a touch of island warmth that will deepen over time. Dana Bourgeois has personally selected each old-growth Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top in this series. Chosen for their bright and responsive tap tones, each one was hand-voiced at Dana’s small workshop in Maine. By combining the warmth of Island Koa with the sparkle of winter spruce, the Touchstone Hawaiian Country Boy has been designed to respond equally well to delicate fingerpicking and lively strumming.

The PRS Private Stock 40th Anniversary McCarty Dragon embodies the spirit of PRS, showcasing stunning visual design and uncompromised playability and tone.
“When I was a teenager, I had a dream about a guitar with a dragon inlaid down the neck. That dream became reality for the first time in 1992 and has since become an important part of our history. For our 40th Anniversary, we have chosen a McCarty model as the foundation of the Dragon, which is only fitting considering the original 1992 Dragon was the beginning of what would become the McCarty model. I'm proud to bring these two, now-historic, PRS designs together.”

Here is a meticulously cared for National Style "O" N-14 brass-body resonator guitar, made in 2001. This iconic instrument features a brass body with a German Silver finish, delivering the punchy, clear tone and incredible projection that National resonators are known for. National's 14-Fret Style "O" became a legend when Mark Knopfler used a late 1930s model, famously showcasing it on the cover of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms album in 1985. This reproduction stays true to the vintage original. The smaller 14-fret body adds versatility and ease of access for reaching those higher notes, making it perfect for both slide and fingerstyle playing.

With modern looks and a compelling sound, the Ultimate Weapon HD has undeniable presence. The "as built" features include the right combination of pickups and a mid-boost pre-amp, or customize to add some additional kick. The Ultimate Weapon HD looks as "edgy" as it sounds.

The Ibanez Pat Metheny PM3C pairs a Spruce top with Maple back and sides, providing a rich tone and bright attack with a solid sound. The 3pc Nyatoh/Maple Neck provides a rich mid-low end and great resonance. The Ebony fingerboard produces tight lows and mid range with a strong attack in the high, with a quick response and rich sustain. Medium sized frets enhances the accuracy to your notes. The Artstar fret edge treatment with spherical surface processing offers super smooth performance. Ibanez carefully designed the PM Special (S) pickup specially to Pat's preference. The PM Special single coil pickup, much as it looks, embraces a well balanced classic jazz tone which is essential to Pat's music.

  After ten years, the PRS S2 Series is being updated with USA-made pickup and electronics for 2024 (and beyond). PRS is proud to bring this added value to what has become a fully integrated part of their manufacturing line and product offering.
  With its solid build and versatile, vintage electronics platform, the S2 Standard 24 Satin is a true player's guitar. The thin satin nitro finish gives this instrument a wonderful resonance and an open clarity that's noticeable even unplugged. The solid mahogany body and set neck give this guitar a distinctive resonance and powerful sustain, and when mahogany's rich, round, warm tone meets the Maryland, USA-made 58/15 LT pickups, there are plenty of clear highs and strong mids to be dialed in. The subtle aesthetic of mahogany and vintage vibe of pickguard-mounted electronics give the S2 Standard 24 an understated look for players who prefer a stripped-down approach to their music.
