Notes: The instruments built by the Paul Reed Smith company are among the most influential and coveted electric guitars made anywhere. Introduced in 1993, the PRS Custom 22 has been the firm's workhorse model for decades, with its highly figured maple top, solid mahogany set-neck construction, and player-friendly features like the low friction nut, locking tuners and comfy 10" radius fingerboard.

This handsome example is a one-owner guitar in 100% original condition, with a deeply figured tiger maple '10' top, and natural blonde finish. At just 7lb 9oz, the guitar is nicely balanced and a pleasure to hold.
