2007 Paul Reed Smith Guitars Custom 22 Artist - Solid Body Electric Electric Guitar
It's hard to argue with a nicely set up PRS. This one is Custom Artist 22 from 2007, the only year they were made with Brazilian Rosewood Fretboards and it also has Paua bird inlays. This sweetheart plays like a dream, sounds fantastic, and looks beautiful. Fat, ballsy neck tones, crisp and cutting bridge tones, and sweet, funky, slightly-out-of-phasey rhythm tones give you all the classics you'll need for your next gig! Being a limited edition with upgrades like a Brazilian fretboard and tremolo bridge make this beauty eminently collectible, which will strengthen your investment. Call soon -- this one won't be here for long!

Player Reviews:
"This is an electric guitar that just reeks of quality -- one more example of how Paul Reed Smith has raised the bar for electric builders everywhere. You'll start playing this one and... whoosh, a couple of hours vanishes. " - Paul Heumiller
"I have one almost exactly like this, so I'm somewhat prejudiced. This is about as good as it gets with a solid body electric. You can get any sound you want from this guitar from jazz to rock. And this one is absolutely gorgeous." - Al Petteway
"I suppose there are guitars with more flash, but this one is a triumph of substance. It's got all I'd ever need on most gigs, and I've played thousands of them using a boatload of guitars. This is a beauty in honeyed tones, with rich/fat/warm timbres for your jazzier/bluesier leanings, crisp/crunchy/biting tones for your rock side, and perfectly balanced creamy/silky tones for your chordal work. " - Al Schlimm
