My new PRS Custom 22.......

First off I'd like to thank whomever posted the soapbar PRS's the other day, I thought I was over my PRS phase for now. :laugh2:

It's a Custom 22 in Tortoise Shell with the Artist package, wide thin neck, stoptail and 5-way switch. The Artist package adds an artist grade top, the paua inlays, rosewood headstock, gold hardware and a beautiful leather hard case. The color of the guitar along with the artist package is what makes it look so spectacular in my opinion.

I was suprised by the versatility of the 5-way switch. It really adds a wide variety of sound to the guitar and overall the guitar definately adds a sound to my collection that I haven't had before. The Dragon II's seem pretty tame in comparison to the Burstbuckers on my R7 but that isn't a bad thing.

I really like the feel of the wide thin neck, it's very player friendly. The neck feels super smooth and the action is pefect and low. I think all of this along with the light string gauge from the factory makes the guitar play somewhat effortlessly.

I've posted one pic in a smaller size and linked the rest due to their larger size. Check 'em out, let me know what you think!

Re: My new PRS Custom 22.......

Glad to hear you're lovin' the PRS!

On the other hand, this doesn't help my PRS G.A.S. lol

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the Artists's package cost you and how much would the guitar have cost you without the package?

Uh oh, it looks like I've started something :D

Congrats, she looks beautiful! :fing2:
 
Re: My new PRS Custom 22.......

Nice guitar...don't you just love that HSC? MmmMmMmm. With the CU22 I'm holding on to right now, I have a hard time picking it up, it looks so great. I could honestly justify the price tag simply by the instrument's quality and unsurpassed beauty. However, when the time comes and I do actually pick up the guitar, it's like buttah.

Enjoy your purchase.

Honestly, I'm not sure how much the Artist package is, I'd venture to guess based on the price of this guitar and another Custom 22 they had without it that its about $350.

Can't see your Cu22 I_B, as imageshack gets blocked by the national firewall over here, but thought you might like to see a shot of mine. This is the image Garrett Park had on their website that suckered me in. It pays as good as it looks...

I've always loved translucent black paint, everything looks good in black. :smokin:

My friend has a translucent black quilt top Hamer and it looks great.

If it plays/sounds as good as it looks, you have a real keeper.
