Punch. Drive. Exceptional clarity. That's exactly what you get with the Custom 22. Because PRS have loaded it with a pair of custom 85/15 humbuckers to ensure you hit the heights of performance. A breakthrough in pickup design at the time, the hailed treble and bass pickups were originally crafted in 1985 to get single coil tones out of a noise-cancelling humbucker. And they still flourish to this day. Renowned for their distinctive modern-vintage sound, the PRS 85/15s kick out anything from sparkling cleans to all-out distortion, whilst maintaining astonishing clarity and note definition.
It meets the demands of the modern musician. Featuring a 5-way selector, tone, and volume controls, players have the freedom to sculpt their tone to get the exact sound they want. So you can easily switch up your guitar's voice to excel in any genre you wish, and it'll continue to maintain that hallmark PRS character. To top it off, there are two options for coil split within the pickup selection to offer even more versatility in your playing, ensuring your creativity bears no restriction.
Ultimately, a guitar should spark creativity – not restrict it. Which is why every aspect of the Custom 22 is constructed with playability in mind. Experience easy transitions across the entirety of the fretboard thanks to an ultra-smooth rosewood surface. It's combined with a sleek mahogany neck that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, entailing endless hours of comfortable practice and performance. Enjoy effortless access to the upper frets with an ergonomic, dual-cutaway body design. So, whether you're shredding up high or unleashing fat, low-end riffs – the 22 offers a feel that's tailored for the player.
It doesn't stop at playability, though. A classic PRS Gen III Tremolo bridge opens up a new world of sonic possibilities. Dive bombs, vibrato – you name it. The Custom 22 can do it all. And, thanks to its meticulous design, you can have confidence that your strings will return to their original tuning after you're done hammering your riffs away. Because PRS knows what's required for world class performance, and they've delivered just that.
It demands audience attention. With a finish so eye-catching and unique, how could it not? A flame top provides a breathtaking aesthetic, showcasing the Custom's sumptuous grain pattern. But its elegant design isn't just limited to the body. The iconic PRS bird inlays dance across the silky-smooth fretboard for even more individual flair. Topped off with a striking violet blue burst finish, the Custom 22 simply radiates one-of-a-kind style. So, whether you're rehearsing, or playing live – it's all eyes on you.
