USED Paul Reed Smith (PRS) / 2003 Custom 22 Artist Package Natural Wide Fat Neck [03]

A used 2003 Custom 22 Artist Package Natural has just arrived!
This is a model commonly known as the “Artist Package,” featuring an artist-grade maple top, rosewood veneer on the headstock, paua shell inlays, and gold hardware.

Custom 22
Compared to the Custom 24, the Custom 22 is a PRS staple with a distinct character, and its domestic stock in Japan is extremely limited. With two fewer frets than the flagship “Custom 24” model, differences in construction and pickup placement result in a richer, more musical sound—making it one of PRS’s most iconic models.

Body, Neck, and Fingerboard
The body features a classic combination of a quilted maple top, mahogany back, and mahogany neck. The fingerboard is made of Indian rosewood.

Neck Shape
The neck shape is “Wide Fat.” With moderate thickness, it offers a comfortable grip without feeling unwieldy.

Pickups
The guitar is equipped with a set of the classic “Dragon II” pickups. Featuring Alnico 4 magnets, they deliver a very versatile tone that retains the vintage feel of a McCarty while also offering a powerful punch.

PRS has long been beloved by guitarists across a wide range of genres. You’re sure to experience maximum performance in a variety of settings, including live shows, sessions, and recording.

Condition
There are touch-up marks in two places on the body top and on the back of the neck, as well as minor scratches, dents, and some discoloration on parts such as the bridge and pickup covers.

The neck, frets, truss rod, and all other components essential to playing are in perfect condition.
Additionally, upon arrival, our repair center performed a full adjustment and cleaning, so you can use this guitar with confidence.

* Two pots and the tuning peg buttons (which were of mixed sizes) have been replaced. Additionally, since the strap pin had been replaced at the time of purchase, we have replaced it with a genuine, brand-new strap pin at our store.
