PRS 59/09 pickups deliver sweetened humbucker sound
Speaking of tone, playing through the CU22's 59/09 pickups is a wonderful experience. That's because PRS designed their 59/09 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 pup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 59/09 set packs a real sonic punch.

A natural-feeling guitar that's incredibly fun to play
The PRS CU22 Artist Package 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 year's CU22 Artist Package. 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 CU22 Artist Package 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.
