Player Reviews:
"I still recall with clarity the very first PRS I ever played in 1982. I had never felt such great playability. This is a great 1997 Custom 22 with lovely upgrades that will make some lucky player the owner of a unique PRS with style and tone. The thinner neck feels great and plays with ease." - Paul Heumiller
"This is almost exactly like my own PRS electric and I love the simplicity of the controls and the awesome tone of the pickups. The finish is beautiful as well." - Al Petteway
"PRS guitars have the best feeling tremolo system in the business. This guitar has a nice fat mid-range character that really helps lead lines stand out, whether playing clean or distorted. " - Steven Dembroski
