Player's Perspective
As one of PRS's top independent dealers, we often have the privilege of heading out to their factory in Maryland to pick out all of the woods and specifications for a unique and exclusive run of guitars that can only be purchased through our shop!
Locked and loaded with PRS's most vintage sounding pickups, the 58/15 LT's, and a neck profile that feels comfortable in your hands, is easy to maneuver around on, and yet doesn't feel like you're playing a toothpick, this guitar is the kind of axe you'll never want to put down. The fit and finish is absolutely sublime on this and the korina neck and body provide just the right amount of mid range grunt to allow you to punch through any mix, no matter how dense it might be. The EQ is perfectly balanced. Like what you'd expect to hear on a vintage recording, but after a world-class producer is done mixing your guitar tone through today's best technology... Except there's no post-mastering needed with this bad boy! String bends are effortless, the tremolo is precise as can be and maintains perfect intonation, and the fretwork is a simply exquisite. This is a PRS Custom 22 through and through, just with a few extras that you can't otherwise get from PRS. It's like a perfect blend between vintage sound and modern playability.
The feel is simply off the charts and attention to detail, from top to bottom, is nothing short of immaculate. If you're looking for a PRS Custom 22 that's going to stand out from the rest of the bunch with a versatile but vintage sound, this will absolutely hit the mark!
Special Features
The Custom 22 is a classic workhorse with all the tones you’ve come to expect from your PRS with a distinctive warmth and clarity thanks, in part, to its 58/15 LT 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 Gen III trem and comfortable solid korina pattern neck. Along with the ebony fretboard, which is normally only available on Artist Package and Private Stock guitars, the following options are exclusive to this wood library run and cannot be had on any other PRS (aside from a Private Stock builds at 10 times the cost): korina neck and body / one piece quilt maple 10-top / custom black gold burst with natural binding.
