2020 Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 Semi-Hollow Wood Library Brazilian FB
Offered for your consideration is another very cool PRS Special 22 Semi-Hollow, one of two (we have in stock as of this writing. This gorgeous example is an upgraded Wood Library model with a "10" top and a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. Introduced as part of a limited run in 2018, the Special 22 S/H was subsequently added as a Core model in the PRS lineup due to popular demand.
The Special 22 S/H is a short scale (25") instrument based on PRS' Custom 22. It has a semi-hollow Mahogany body with a flamed Maple top and a single F-hole. This particularly nice 'Wood Library' example weighs just 7.4 pounds. The highly figured maple top on this instrument is finished in nitro lacquer which PRS adopted with 2020 and later models. It has a highly flammed maple neck with a "Pattern" carve and a depth of .875" at the first fret. The fretboard on this guitar is made of Brazilian Rosewood with a 10" radius, medium fret wire and a 1-11/16" tusq nut. The Special has a PRS Gen III vibrato bridge and Phase III locking tuners.
To play Dead tunes with tones reminiscent of Jerry Garcia's, John Mayer needed a guitar with highly flexible electronics. The Special is nearly as flexible as his Super Eagle thanks to three pickups, including two 58/15 LT humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions and a PRS Narrowfield in the middle. Controls include a master volume, master tone, a five-way blade switch and mini toggles to split the neck and bridge humbuckers. This setup allows this guitar to make almost any tone you can think of, from thick humbucker crunch to Strat quack and Tele twang, along with everything in between. The guitar's semi-hollow construction adds a airy, woody voice that is marvelous and adds to the guitar's flexibility.
As a PRS, this guitar is built with a quality that few other manufacturers can duplicate and it nearly plays itself. It's light weight and superb setup make it a joy to play. Please check out the brief sound sample for a taste of the many tones you can coax out of it.
This instrument was built in 2020 and is in virtually spotless condition, frets included. It could easily pass for new. It comes in it's original upgraded paisley PRS case, also in like new condition, along with the trem arm, "Bird Tag" and all the other paperwork and accessories.
A new example with these upgrades costs more than $6K now. Make this 'Swiss Army Knife" of a PRS yours today and save a bunch of cash. You will be very glad you did!
