Whether you're a collector or an active player, the 2008 PRS Custom 22 Artist Package is an exceptional instrument, blending top-tier aesthetics with the versatility and playability that have made PRS guitars legendary.
This 2008 PRS Custom 22 Artist Package is a great representation of Paul Reed Smith's dedication to impeccable craftsmanship, playability, and tone. As part of the Artist Package platform, this guitar goes beyond the standard Custom 22 spec with elevated features that discerning players will appreciate.
Crafted with a beautifully figured maple top, this Custom 22 showcases PRS’s signature attention to detail, highlighted by premium artist-grade tonewoods. The mahogany body and mahogany neck, sporting a wide/fat profile, provide slightly modern-leaning Les Paul-meets-Strat tones, while the dark rosewood fingerboard and headstock overlay set off the beautiful abalone inlays.
Loaded with PRS 57/08 pickups (the previous owner swapped the original pickups out which are not included in the sale), this guitar covers a wide range of tones, making it equally suited for clean, articulate tones and powerful, overdriven leads . The PRS tremolo and Schaller tuners (also replaced by the previous owner for cosmetic reasons) ensure tuning stability and excellent performance, even during the most trem-heavy play sessions (this bridge design has always been a highlight for us).
