Overview

The PRS Custom 22 Soapbar is a uniquely vintage-inspired take from Paul Reed Smith, blending modern Core-level craftsmanship with classic single-coil character. Equipped with three overwound PRS Soapbar high-output pickups, this model offers an expressive tonal palette ranging from screaming rock-and-roll mids to warm, muted jazz overtones.

With only two knobs and a 5-way blade selector, this Custom 22 embraces a familiar, minimalist control layout while retaining the refinement and playability that PRS Core models are known for. Built in 2008 at the Maryland factory, this example features a beautifully carved 10-Top maple paired with a mahogany body and neck for classic PRS resonance and sustain.
