The Custom 22 has PRS's special 25" scale coupled with their comfortable wide fat neck carve and nickel silver covered PRS Dragon II pickups.
The Custom 24 is the core of the PRS line, the guitar Paul Reed Smith took to his first trade show in 1985.
Today, it still comes with their patented PRS Tremolo bridge, locking tuners, and the beautifully carved, figured maple top that is a PRS hallmark.
PRS guitars always feature small and compact headstocks, this Custom 22 has an all gloss black finish to the front and back, with the 'Paul Reed Smith' signature logo on the front in gold script and a large black truss rod cover.
The rear has the serial number hand written in gold and 2 rows of PRS Phase II locking machine heads in Chrome. These are simple to use, unscrew the screw on the top, post the string through, retighten and tune to pitch, snip of the end, and you're in tune no matter how much you use the tremolo!
The neck is all 1 piece Mahogany, again with the black gloss lacquer. The neck istself is not overly slim, a D profile, good for hands of all sizes, PRS call it their Wide Fat Carve.
Nut width is 43mm, with action at the 12th fret 2mm at the treble side, and 3mm on the bass. PRS set their guitars up before shipping to us dealers, and of course, we check them all over before shipping to you.
The Fingerboard is East Indian Rosewood, top quality as well with a very hard and smooth surface, fretwork is excellent, making playing a joy, shredders will love the fast smooth action.
The inlays here are PRS's famous 'birds', green, white and purple Abolone, in various stages of flight, from the 3rd to the 21st frets.
The neck joins the Mahogany and Maple body at the 20th fret on both sides, and upper fret access is just about the eaasiest on any guitar we've played! The deep bit of chamfering on the treble side cutaway helps of course.
The back of the body is plain gloss black, with a deep chamfer on the upper bout to give an extremely comfortable playing position. The Mahogany of the body is about 27mm deep, then on top is the full thickness Maple cap, another 13mm, arched up in the middle to give that famous resonance and tone through the whole body and into the pickups.
The Maple around the body edge is left in its pale natural colour, and here the top is finished in Black Sunburst, a rich deep golden in the middle which has a series of thin wood grain lines, fading out to black around the edges. A classic finish.
PRS are also famous for tremolo bridges, and the Custom 22 has a very chunky Nickel trem bridge held in place by 6 screws, with 6 quality looking cast saddles, each individually adjstable for intonation and string height.
The 2 chrome plated humbuckers, PRS Dragon II's, have cream surrounds, and they sound pretty amazing, loads of power and clarity, this is a guitar that likes to be played loud!
The PRS Custom 22 is great for all styles of music, clean pop, funk and jazz, rock, metal and everything inbetween. On the dirty channel you can see why so many metal bands use PRS guitars, this guitar really rocks!
A classic PRS guitar, the Custom 24, here in Black Sunburst is a real beauty, great to play and look at, but when heard - awsome.
