You are looking at a 2014 Paul Reed Smith PRS McCarty Singlecut Private Stock #4996 — a guitar so unapologetically elite it probably judges other instruments by their posture.
Finished in Persimmon Smoked Burst high gloss nitro, this thing doesn’t enter a room… it arrives with theme music. The monster curly maple top moves like it’s being filmed in slow motion. The matching curly maple neck keeps the drama going, and the curly maple fretboard with Brazilian rosewood binding and yellow/orange spiney birds looks like it was designed by someone who heard the phrase “too much” and took it as a personal challenge.
The Santana headstock? Matching Persimmon Smoked Burst with a yellow/orange spiney Private Stock eagle — because a regular headstock would have been emotionally insufficient.
Plug it in and the PRS 57/08 humbuckers deliver that rich, articulate, expensive-sounding tone that makes you play one chord and immediately look around to see who noticed. Classic 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way controls — simple, refined, and completely uninterested in your learning curve.
At 8.2 lbs, it’s resonant, balanced, and carries itself like it owns real estate. The Pattern neck measures .858” at the 1st fret and .954” at the 12th — smooth, substantial, and extremely confident in all social situations.
She’s 100% original and absolutely aware she’s the favorite.

She was born on October 7th, 2014 and is in excellent condition. There’s one microscopic pinhead impression on the top and a couple of small impressed scratches where your pick arm rests — the guitar equivalent of a supermodel having a freckle.
Includes the original PRS Private Stock case and paperwork.
If you want a guitar that looks like it has a financial advisor, sounds like it drinks top-shelf espresso, and behaves like it expects applause when you open the case — congratulations… you found it.
