PRS Custom 22 Artist Brazilian - USA 2005

The 2005 PRS Custom 22 Artist Brazilian is a stunning example of PRS craftsmanship, blending premium tonewoods with meticulous construction. Introduced in the early '90s, the Custom 22 quickly became a favourite for players seeking a versatile, high-performance instrument with effortless playability. This special Artist Package edition takes it even further, featuring a hand-selected flame maple top, upgraded hardware, and a Brazilian rosewood fretboard. PRS guitars have long been revered for their consistency, attention to detail, and flawless finish, and this Custom 22 exemplifies everything that makes the brand exceptional.

Sonically, this guitar delivers the signature PRS clarity, sustain, and versatility that has made the Custom 22 a studio and stage staple. The Dragon II humbuckers provide a dynamic range of tones, from warm, singing leads to tight, articulate rhythm work. The 3-way switch allows for a variety of pickup combinations, including split-coil options for shimmering single-coil tones. The mahogany neck offers a fast, comfortable playing experience, while the Brazilian rosewood fretboard adds extra warmth and sustain to the guitar’s already rich tonal profile. A lightweight and perfectly balanced instrument, it feels as inspiring to play as it sounds, making it an ideal choice for players who demand both precision and expressiveness.

Meticulously maintained, this Custom 22 remains in excellent condition, showing only minimal signs of handling. It comes with the original PRS hardshell case with original hangtag with product description, making it a true collector’s piece as well as an outstanding player’s guitar.
