Custom 22 with Artist Package Appointments

The PRS Custom 22 is a beautiful, highly playable solidbody electric guitar that sounds as good as it looks. Feast your eyes on the breathtaking carved Artist Package figured maple top, paired with a comfortable lightweight mahogany body, all finished in PRS's superb high-gloss nitro over a cellulose CAB basecoat finish. You'll delight to the touch of the 22-fret mahogany neck with its satisfying Pattern Regular profile and rosewood fretboard with Artist Package bird inlays. And the TCI-tuned 85/15 humbuckers and 5-way switching let you deploy a stunning arsenal of tone from the PRS Custom 24 Artist Package.

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 amazing visuals and outstanding playability, and they've done their usual outstanding job with this year's 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.

Eye-catching appointments make this guitar a real looker

With its gorgeous Artist Package figured maple top, just-right mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, and tone monster 85/15 humbuckers, this Artist Package Custom 22 looks stunning and responds to your every creative whim. Go from mellow chord voicings to liquid fire with a twist of your finger. Join the legions of Sweetwater guitarists who get their musical message across with a PRS Custom 22.

Revamped finish for classic feel

Never one to sit pat, PRS has retooled their finish process. Taking its cues from the Private Stock finish that entails high-gloss nitro over a cellulose CAB basecoat, this method gives the guitar a finish that's thin, durable, and clear. The result is an instrument that feels like a vintage guitar in your hands, with an incredible amount of resonance.

PRS Artist Package Custom 22 Features:

  • A gorgeous instrument that feels great and fits any style
  • Mahogany body with carved figured maple Artist Package top for extra clarity and killer looks
  • Mahogany Pattern Regular neck feels great and provides hours of playing comfort
  • Silky-smooth rosewood fretboard with PRS signature bird inlays
  • TCI-tuned 85/15 Treble and Bass humbucking pickups deliver an impressively wide range of tone
  • PRS Gen III tremolo gives you reliable pitch bending and stays in tune
