Case Overview
In the world of fine musical instruments, a Paul Reed Smith (PRS) Private Stock guitar is not just an instrument—it is a bespoke work of art. Because each Private Stock piece is custom-built with uniquely selected woods, no two guitars on earth are identical. An elite, highly customized 2023 PRS Private Stock McCarty 594, valued at $13,652, was stolen from a residence on Lakewood Blvd in Dallas, Texas. The instrument was discovered missing on March 8, 2025, following a theft window that traces back to February 20, 2025.
Investigative Analysis
Boutique, high-value instruments of this caliber are considered high-target assets for specialized thieves, yet they present an extreme liquidation challenge for fences and sophisticated theft rings. Because this guitar features an unmistakable, singular wood grain pattern that acts as a visual fingerprint, it is virtually impossible to sell or trade within the music community without drawing immediate attention. Pawn shops, vintage guitar dealers, and online auction monitors worldwide have been alerted.
This specific instrument possesses highly unique custom appointments that make it instantly recognizable to any collector, technician, or dealer. It features a one-piece quilted maple top finished in the rare “Aqua Violet Glow” nitro blue burst. The back of the headstock bears a handwritten Private Stock designation and serial number, and the exotic ebony fingerboard is customized with mismatched J-Birds inlays. Furthermore, it is equipped with Phase III locking tuners altered with natural curly maple buttons rather than standard ebony. It was last stored inside its factory-original PRS brown leather hard shell case.
