PRS CUSTOM 22


PRS Custom 22


The Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 model produces a broad spectrum of tones with a PRS Dragon II Treble pickup in the bridge position and their PRS Dragon II Bass in the neck position. The versatile 5-way switching system allows you to select multiple pickup and coil combinations without the need to switch instruments. Everything from traditional "gold top" sounds to jazz to screaming rock is at your command with the Cu22. Comes standard with the PRS stoptail bridge (tremolo optional), locking tuners, nickel silver pickup covers, and the beautifully carved, figured maple top that is a PRS hallmark.
