USED Paul Reed Smith / 2008 Custom 22 Artist Package Black Cherry [05]

A used 2008 Custom 22 Artist Package in Black Cherry has arrived!

A 2008 Artist Package featuring an artist-grade maple top and a MacArthur ebony fingerboard has arrived!

Custom 22
Compared to the Custom 24, the Custom 22 is a PRS staple with a distinct character, though it was imported in extremely limited quantities to Japan. 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 classic 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 MacArthur ebony.

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

Pickups
The guitar comes 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 the McCarty while also offering a powerful, punchy sound.

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

Condition
There are some areas, primarily around the cutaway, where a faint whitish discoloration is visible; however, considering its age, it has few scratches or dents and appears to be in generally good condition.

All playability-related components—including the neck, frets, and truss rod—are in excellent condition. Upon arrival, our repair center performed a full adjustment and cleaning. Additionally, when you brought it in, we noticed some slight unevenness in the frets, so we performed a light overall leveling.
