There is no better feeling than losing yourself in the immersive, wall-trembling tone of a magnificent guitar. And that is exactly what the Custom 22 presents. It is loaded with two 85/15 pickups, a fiery pair that never cease to amaze. After taking the guitar world by storm in 1985, PRS enthusiasts rely on these pickups to offer incredible vintage sounds as well as the versatility that modern players need. They thrive with the gain cranked up, delivering all that gritty tonal goodness needed for an exhilarating performance. And for those clean tones, you'll have a delicious, smooth sound flowing in abundance. Whichever way you choose to shape your tone, every single note will soar with sparkling clarity thanks to the brilliant articulation these humbuckers possess.
Maple and mahogany... the ultimate combo. As a team, they deliver an excellent tone and individually they possess some truly compelling qualities. The maple top is a divine tonewood for gigging with thanks to the outstanding clarity it produces during both strumming and fingerpicking styles. It is bright, loud, and offers minimal feedback, so you won’t have to suffer that dreaded muddy sound. Prepare for sharp articulation, immense volume, and a mesmerising gig.
Providing a resonant and warm tonal undercurrent are the mahogany back and sides. Mahogany balances out the brightness of maple perfectly thanks to its focus on midrange frequencies. It also lends itself to wondrous textures and sparkling harmonies. Better still, the mahogany construction can handle anything thanks to its superb sturdiness and incredible durability. And to add to mahogany's list of astounding attributes, it also guarantees excellence for years to come. Mahogany's tone becomes tighter and more focused as the wood matures, meaning you can look forward to ever-growing sound that welcomes colourful overtones with glistening clarity. A sturdy tremolo bridge then allows you to enhance your music. Whether you're performing mind-blowing divebombs or just adding another dynamic dimension to your chords, do so with vigour and passion.
Fret with strength and a silky-smooth finish at your fingertips. The neck of this guitar is also crafted from mahogany, serving you all that practical and tonal goodness for years to come. Showcasing a gorgeously sleek design, the neck is wonderfully comfortable to hold and gives your fingers the space they need to roam the rosewood fretboard freely. Rosewood is a stunning accompaniment to mahogany and maple as it evens out any harsh frequencies to ensure you are left with a beautifully balanced sound that begs your virtuosic sculpting. Thanks to the subtle details of bird inlays, the fretboard also holds a beautifully sleek and striking aesthetic.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the PRS Custom 22 is the epitome of PRS' renowned excellence. Every single tonewood and piece of hardware is superbly robust and can handle any excessive, aggressive playing whilst always delivering incredible sound. And if you're going to sound amazing then you'll want to look the part too. Displaying a stunning, classy design, this guitar has an undeniably exceptional aesthetic. To maintain its exquisite construction, a hardshell case is included with the guitar. So, travel from gig to gig and to the studio knowing your magnificent instrument won't suffer any damage on the road. It will be ready and waiting in pristine condition.
