PRS has been my dream guitar for 20+ years. I don’t play a ton, so it was hard to justify spending the money for ANOTHER guitar to add to why I have, but this one was a deal I couldn’t pass up.
I think they call it Tobacco Sunburst, 24-08. I looked long and hard at a turquoise SE CE a couple years ago and passed it up. I have regretted it since. This was me ensuring that I don’t have regret a second time.
I’ve had my red fiore since 22 and played the piss out of it. It’s been refretted with stainless, re radiused, pots and switches replaced when they failed, tuners swapped, cracks and dings. It needed a friend.
Where are all my CU22 homies at?
This is my 2004 artist pack Custom 22 with stoptail in whale blue one piece top, with a solid rosewood neck, Dragon II pickups... (aka CuRo 22 AP).
It’s hard to believe I‘ve had this guitar for 22 years. She still sounds and plays as fantastic as when I first bought it. The wide fat solid rosewood neck feels and sounds amazing. This guitar has such a nice chime and sustain.
Who else has a CU22? Let’s give them some well deserved love!!
I added a Ghost piezo system. The pickups are a Gibson 57 Classic with a unoriented A5 magnet and a Gibson 57+ with a A4 magnet. Each pickup is connected to a Seymour Duncan Triple Shot pickup ring. Output for the magnetic pickups go through the toggle switch and then to a Bartolini AGMPBoo buffer preamp. The piezo pickups for each string plug directly into the preamp. Output goes to a balance pot and then to a master volume and tone. I was going to put in two volumes with 2 tones, but some issues came up with wiring that I eventually traced to a bad toggle switch. The fourth pot isn't attached to anything. I used 25k pots with a 0.47 mfd cap. It sounds great. And with the balance pot I can easily mix the two signals.
