Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

The PRS SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow is a beautifully versatile instrument that blends airy resonance with modern clarity and style. Its semi-hollow maple and mahogany construction adds warmth and openness, while the 85/15 “S” pickups deliver a wide tonal range with clear highs, full lows, and smooth, musical response. The wide thin maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a fast, comfortable feel that makes playing effortless across styles. Finished with elegant flame maple veneer and signature bird inlays, it stands out with refined visual appeal. Dynamic, expressive, and easy to connect with, this SE Custom 22 brings a lively voice to any musical setting!

Resonance and Grace

The PRS SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow has musical midrange and outstanding resonance. The semi-hollow body provides an airy, sweet tone but with a twist of the tone knob, the dual humbuckers can get plenty of bright spank. Additional appointments include a maple top and neck, mahogany back, rosewood fretboard, and dual 85/15 “S” pickups with volume and push/pull tone controls (for coil splitting) paired with a 3-way blade pickup selector. 85/15 “S” pickups lend remarkable clarity and extended high and low end to this semi-hollow’s voice.

 

The SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow is both versatile and comfortable, making it a reliable tool for professionals, a solid choice for beginners, and a welcome addition to any arsenal.
