A Gorgeous Solidbody Guitar

The PRS Custom 22 solidbody electric guitar gives you the classic tone of vintage-style humbuckers in a gloriously appointed solidbody instrument. The CU22's mahogany body is topped with a stunning figured maple 10 top paired with a solid mahogany body. You'll delight to the touch of the 22-fret mahogany neck with its comfortable Pattern Wide/Fat neck carve and buttery ebony fingerboard, while premium 57/08 Treble and Bass pickups and 5-way switching let you serve up a rich banquet of tones. For versatility, playability, and looks, it's hard to beat the PRS Custom 22 solidbody electric guitar.

PRS Custom 22 Solidbody Guitar at a Glance:
  • PRS 57/08 pickups deliver sweetened humbucker sound
  • A natural-feeling guitar that's incredibly fun to play
  • Stunning, durable, and tone-friendly PRS V12 finish

PRS 57/08 pickups deliver sweetened humbucker sound
Playing with the CU22's 57/08 pickups is a wonderful experience. That's because PRS designed their 57/08 pickups to give you the sweet - yet articulate - sound and rich harmonic overtones you'd expect from real vintage humbuckers. Featuring a powerful bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 57/08 set packs a real sonic punch.

A natural-feeling guitar that's incredibly fun to play
The PRS Custom 22 is one of those guitars you just can't put down. PRS enjoys a well-deserved reputation for marrying sonic mojo with mouth-watering visuals and outstanding playability, and they've done a their usual outstanding job with this Custom 22. Go ahead - pick it up and start playing. Just make sure you don't have anything to do for the next few days.

Stunning, durable, and tone-friendly PRS V12 finish
The Custom 22 is finished in a stunning PRS V12 finish. If you're seeking vintage vibe with a sophisticated edge, your search ends here. Over a decade in the making, PRS' V12 finish blends the thin, resonance-enhancing characteristics of a nitro finish with the non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. It has a classic feel all its own - it makes your axe feel like an old instrument - one that will stay flawless-looking for years to come.

PRS Custom 22 Solidbody Guitar Features:
  • Mahogany body, figured maple 10 top for outstanding looks and tone
  • Mahogany neck with amazingly comfortable Pattern Wide/Fat neck carve
  • Buttery, fast Ebony fingerboard with 22 frets and classic PRS Bird inlays
  • PRS 57/08 humbuckers give you vintage warmth and articulation, along with rich harmonic overtones
  • PRS's V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic
  • Hardshell case included

The PRS Custom 22 is one gorgeous guitar!

Sweetwater ALWAYS exceeds my expectation in sales, customer service and knowledge on the gear being sold to me. Sweetwater is my #1 choice to buy equipment from the first time I ordered. I find of great value the fact that I don't feel like one more customer, rather THE customer.
