PRS 2018 SE Custom 22 Semi Hollow Electric Guitar - Gray Black

The PRS 2018 SE Custom 22 Semi Hollow Electric Guitar is shaped to the same sophisticated body profile that we've all come to know and love, but features a semi-hollow design that improves resonance and warmth immensely. The richness of tone produced by this beauty has to be experienced to be believed. Whether you're playing for fun, or taking things a little more seriously, the Custom 22 Semi-Hollow is perfect for studio use, and live performances, and would make a welcome addition to any guitarist's arsenal.

Sweet semi-hollow body design

As noted, the Custom 22 Semi-Hollow is honoured with the ergonomically designed curves and arched top that creates such a joyful playing experience. The addition of the semi-hollow rout improves the lightweight feel, making this featherweight a delight in the hands. However, it doesn't skimp on power thanks to the improved resonance of the tonewoods, infusing the timbre with an enviable warmth.

The body back is built using mahogany, a tonewood that is favoured by many due to its sumptuous mid-range warmth. Paired with this is a crisp maple top, complete with flame maple veneer. As you might expect, the long tradition of maple and mahogany holds true, producing a well-rounded output from swelling low-end to soaring highs, with a breathiness and depth afforded by the semi-hollow body rout.

Lightning-fast neck profile

Joined with the body is a solid maple neck, which extends along a generous 25-inch scale length that results in increased shimmer and shine across the strings. The wide thin neck profile is a joy to perform on, allowing your fingers to glide effortlessly. Married to the neck is a glorious fingerboard, which is home to 22 frets that are decorated with PRS' unique bird position inlays to guide your way in style.

Smooth tones

The 2018 SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow is equipped with a pair of PRS 85/15 "S" pickups in the neck and bridge positions. These humbuckers sing sweetly with crisp cleans, and when given a nudge, they burn brightly with a searing heat. They're perfect for tackling any musical style, and have enough versatility to keep your dynamic shifting on point. Control over the pickups comes in the form of master volume and tone controls, as well as a three-way pickup selector switch.

The master tone pot is equipped with push/pull coil-split capabilities, allowing you to pull single-coil tones from this beauty. The extended range of tonal options allows to move seamlessly between genres with the greatest of ease, putting total control at your fingertips.

Gig-ready hardware

The PRS 2018 SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow is fitted with a PRS-patented moulded tremolo, which anchors each string securely for fastidious intonation and sustain. Your vibrato technique is translated transparently, with the trem returning to position efficiently for a consistent and highly responsive feel. The headstock is home to PRS-designed tuners, which uphold tuning integrity dutifully throughout the most enthusiastic of performances.
