PRS Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 Guitar, Orange Tiger, Pattern Thin - 2016

PRS consistently outdoes themselves in terms of quality, consistency, and tone. The straightforward and yet versatile Custom 22 is a dynamic and lively instrument with everything you need for great sound and nothing that'll slow you down. Hot, responsive, and rich, the pickups on this guitar respond well through high-gain and clean settings. You'll have a tough time finding a guitar that feels better than this - it plays exceptionally well even by PRS standards. Bends are effortless and the neck is super comfortable and fast. With the diversity of sounds you can get out of this thing, it can cut any gig in the world, period. This Custom 22 is for the player who wants to inspire and be inspired every time they pick up their guitar. Unlike it's Custom 24 brother, the neck pickup on the Custom 22 is directly under the natural third harmonic of the strings which makes for a pretty different tone. Richer, creamier, warmer, would all be good ways to describe this effect that the neck pickup has by being located where the extra 2 frets of the Custom 24 normally are.

The Custom 22 is a classic workhorse with all the tones you’ve come to expect from your PRS with a distinctive, warm midrange and clarity thanks, in part, to its 58/15 treble and bass pickups. These pickups are wired for our 5-way blade switch, which offers a dual humbucker option (see switching positions below). The Custom 22 also features a PRS patented trem and your choice of a Pattern or Pattern Thin mahogany neck.
