About PRS CE22

PRS CE22 is an electric guitar created by legendary guitar builder, Paul Reed Smith. PRS CE22 blends vintage warmth with modern versatility, featuring a mahogany body, maple neck with bolt on construction for a balanced resonance and curly maple top that instantly screams classic PRS aesthetics. These guitars feature classic PRS aesthetics such as nickel hardware, locking tuners with a highly usable gear ratio, and a flamed maple neck. Combined with delivering a dynamic range of sounds, for players seeking a guitar that can handle a wide range of sounds, including modern and vintage tones. The choice of PRS LT 58/15 bridge and neck pickups, 3-way tone switch, and added push/pull tone control allows for a vast variety of tones, from full bodied humbucking sounds that create a vintage warmth, to signing single coil tones.

PRS CE22 brings a different flavour to the PRS lineup but keeps the classic eye-catching looks and instantly comfortable carves of the original PRS body style. The CE stands for cutaway electric as a nod to the classic bolt on construction of early production guitars from other companies. Full bodied humbucking sounds are delivered from PRS' own pickups wound to their specifications that deliver vintage warmth, and modern versatility thanks to their single coil tones available through the coil split functionality. The 58/15LT pickups that are featured on current CE22 guitars have a fantastic dynamic range, able to handle modern tones and more vintage inspired tones and singing single coil tones.

PRS haven't just added a bolt on neck to their guitar and called it a day, all the hardware is designed in house with an obsession for the best tone possible. One up close look at the nickel hardware and you'll see all the details that have gone into designing them to be the best for you, the player. The PRS Tremolo and locking tuners, with their handsome open back design, deliver rock solid tuning stability. All the details together create a guitar that blends the vintage warmth and comfort of a bolt on design with the balanced resonance of a full humbucking PRS, finished with signature stunning finishes.
