Historical notes:
The Custom was Paul Reed Smith's first commercial electric guitar model, introduced at the NAMM trade show in 1986.
Beginning in 1994, the Custom 22 -- a 22-fret version -- was introduced. Aside from the obvious fewer number of frets, the Custom 22 is outfitted with Dragon II covered humbucking pickups.
