Description: PRS custom 22 1995 grey black Dragon I pickups rare Paul Reed Smith Hard to find older PRS carved "5 top" maple with wide fat bird inlay mahogany neck. I'm selling because I do not play as much anymore and but mostly because I am not worthy of such an axe. pictures are of the actual guitar that you will be buying. Please excuse some of the dust on the headstock I didn't notice until after looking at the photos. Frets recently re-crowned.Do not confuse this guitar with CE (bolt-on neck) model or the later budget PRS "SE" models. This is a 1995 neck through USA made in a low production facility. very good/ excellent condition. There are a few small scuffs and dings on the front of body (but reasonable considering age). comes with original custom fit hardshell leather gig case. ships to US 48. I reserve the right to right to cancel auction for new accounts or bidders with less than 25 positive feedback. please message with any questions, thanks.Specs: PRS Custom 22, mahogany back/maple-top with 2 Dragon humbuckers (split-coils) and 5-way tone switch. Chrome hardware with stop tailpiece, mahogany neck w/ distinctive abalone bird inlays.Tone: Dazzling array of variety with 5-way a la ES-345 but on steroids.Looks: Dynamite right down to the contours around the cutaways and the light colored woods on the binding. Sensational. (This one even comes with a lawn chair reflection!)Feel: Exquisite balance and over-all feel will bring you back every time. Ease of operation is in there as well.Needs/wants: No needs as the options list is endless, down to a leather case!Quirks: Tuners take some getting used to, otherwise none found here.History: Paul is a player and his vision is exemplified by the fact that many great players use his guitars (Santana, Dickey Betts, Alex Lifeson, Al Dimeola, etc, etc.). Straight off the Gibson model of solidbody constructions but with just enough design twists to deliver a fresh new idea that simply works wonders.Desirability: Destined to be a late 20th century masterpiece and beyond.review...1995 Paul Reed Smith Custom 22, carved maple top, grey black finish, mahogany back, no pickguard, rosewood fretboard with abalone bird inlay, 22 fret, "wide-fat" mahogany neck, Dragon pickups w/out covers, 5-way rotary pickup selector, PRS stoptail tailpiece, 14:1 low-mass locking tuners and chrome hardware. Though not top-of-the-line, this beaut of an axe does its namesake plenty of justice. If one can whip out that kind of chunk of change, this one's a must have as it's signature sound and design puts it into the highest echelon. Top notch craftsmanship prevails with subtle touches to wet the appetite of any players and/or collectors palette. Balance, feel, sustain, tonal variety, rich full bell-like note quality akin to other humbucker-laden solid-bodied competitors, only this one wins out with its own distinctive sound. Innovative design yielding incredible ease of play and responsiveness, leaving the rest of the field in the dust. You pay for it and it delivers with every cent. American quality goods with tons of options to design your own custom model. A winner hands down.
