PRS Custom 22 Guitars

The Custom 22 has the standard PRS scale length of 25” which sits directly between a Les Paul and a Strat. It’s got a plethora of tones thanks to the dual humbucker pickup attack but also feels more like a traditional guitar than a Custom 24 would – thanks to its 22 fret configuration.

The only major difference between the Custom 24 and Custom 22 is where the neck pickup sits in relation to the strings harmonics. Purists will argue that this alters the tone. On a 24, the neck pickup sits beyond the 24^th fret harmonic. Whereas on a 22 fret Custom 22, the 24^th fret harmonic is actually sitting on top of the pickup which is said to give the pickup a certain ‘sweetness’.
