2013 Paul Reed Smith P22 Standard: PRS Tone Review And Demo

Item Details:
This PRS P22 Standard MSL Limited Run is our unique take on the P22. We realized it's difficult to mod a PRS since every design is already so dialed in, so our first order of business was to leave everything intact we love about the P22. We didn't change the electronics. There are two 57/08 pickups and a piezo-equipped stoptail bridge, and they can be combined in a number of ways. The P22's two outputs are alive and well: Mix/mag and piezo. We ditched the flame maple top and opted for a full mahogany body and top, which both shaves off cost and gives the guitar an elegant natural vibe. We couldn't help ourselves when it came to fretboard wood selection - we decided on a Brazilian Rosewood. Possibly the best tone wood on the planet, Brazilian Rosewood is getting harder and harder to find on any guitar, new or used. We topped everything off with gold hardware and old-school paua bird inlays. PRS did an outstanding job making our P22 come to life. It's a unique and distinctly musical guitar that you're not going to see anywhere else. We only have 10 of these instruments, so they won't stick around for long.

The darker one is probably one of the best looking PRS I've ever seen.
Well done!

Those in the back look like flames, beautiful.

Funny you mention it, we have a couple P24 Trem Private Stocks on order as we speak. They will be absolutely unbelievable guitars! We also have a P22 Trem Standard limited run in the works. We're with you brother!

beautiful guitars. i'd love to see some PRS 305s in the future w/ both rosewood and maple fretboards

Who needs an acoustic guitar when this can sound like this?

[tjazzmuzik]

How about a swamp ash body and neck with a flamed maple top 513.

How is Brazillian Rosewood still used? I thought its illegal.

I'd kill for a p24 trem.. too bad its way out of reach in private stock.. another interesting piezo setup would be on a single cut, probably SC245 for a more LP style piezo guitar (regular neck), especially comfy for people with smaller hands like me

The piezo sounds like a Gibson jazz humbucker. Maybe it's just the way he's playing it.

Illegal to harvest. There are still reserves
