USED Paul Reed Smith / 2003 Custom 22 Artist Package Blue Matteo [05]

We have a used Custom 22 Artist Package in Blue Mateo color, made in 2003!
It is an artist grade maple top + rosewood veneer on the head + powered bird inlays and gold hardware, commonly known as the "Artist Package".

Custom 22
The Custom 22 is one of the PRS classic models with a richer and more musical sound than the Custom 24 due to the two fewer frets than the Custom 24 and the difference in the built-in and position of the PU. This is one of the classic PRS models.

Body, neck, and fingerboard
The body is a royal combination of flame maple top, mahogany back, and mahogany neck. The fingerboard is made of Indian rosewood.

Neck Shape
Wide Fat" neck shape is adopted. Neck shape has moderate thickness and good grip without feeling hard to play.

Pickups
The popular "Dragon II" pickups are installed.

It has a clear yet rich midrange and brings out the player's fullest expression from delicate nuances to powerful lead tones. Controls consist of 1 volume, 1 push/pull tone, and 3-way toggle switch, providing a wide variety of sound variations.

Selector etc.
The 3-way toggle switch + coil tap specification allows for more intuitive playing.

The PRS has been loved by guitarists of various genres for many years, and you will be able to feel the maximum performance in various fields such as live performances, sessions, and recordings.

Condition
The guitar has been fully adjusted and fretted at our repair center, so you can use it with no worries.

At the time of purchase, there was a strong sense of use, and some white spots were seen overall, but most of them have disappeared. There are some parts, mainly the neck, that have inevitably remained, but we believe that the condition is now quite good. We have also removed some of the tarnish from the parts, and we believe we have restored the original condition to some extent.

There are some other minor scratches and dings, but the neck, frets, truss rod, and other playing-related conditions are all in good condition.

The neck, frets, truss rod, etc. are all in good playing condition. The instrument has been fully adjusted, fretted, and cleaned at our repair center upon arrival, so you can use it with no worries.
