1995 PRS January Guitar Of The Month McCarty Violin Amber

Brian (Owner, Brian's Guitars): The PRS Guitars Guitar of the Month run from 1995 was a pivotal moment in the company's history, laying the groundwork for what would become the Private Stock program. Each month, PRS introduced a guitar featuring unique specifications, including experimental inlays, new pickup designs, hardware prototypes, and even entirely new body shapes. This series allowed PRS to push the boundaries of guitar craftsmanship, refining ideas that would later influence their core lineup and high-end custom builds. Many of the design innovations first seen in this run became staples in PRS future offerings, solidifying its reputation for blending artistry with cutting-edge engineering
