PRS Custom 22 Tremolo 10-Top 2006 - Emerald Green

This 2006 PRS Custom 22 10-Top in Emerald Green has an absolutely gorgeous quilted maple top, and it's now sporting some pretty interesting upgrades. I've actually owned this exact guitar before, and when the opportunity came to take it back in trade, it had returned with a new Seymour Duncan pickup set, updated switching, and a fresh hardshell case. The original pickups and removed hardware are included, too!

The quilt on this guitar is incredible. The figuring is deep and tightly packed, with these almost swirling patterns that shift across the top depending on how the light hits it. The Emerald Green finish really brings out that depth, and the natural maple binding gives the whole thing a nice contrast. It's a beautiful example of PRS's 10-Top grading, with classic bird inlays and a dark rosewood fretboard.

The electronics have been upgraded with Seymour Duncan Nazgûl and Sentient humbuckers, fitted with eye-catching multicolored Stargazer covers. The original five-way rotary selector has also been replaced with a much more straightforward three-way toggle and coil-splitting setup. I'm genuinely impressed with this pickup combination. It brings a different character to the Custom 22, and the updated controls make switching between sounds much more convenient. Everything functions correctly.

The way this guitar plays is probably my favorite part. It received a recent setup, and the action is wonderfully low and effortless. The frets are smooth as glass, and moving around the neck feels incredibly fluid, especially when sliding between positions. The neck measures 20.8 mm at the first fret and 22.4 mm at the 12th, with a comfortable, fairly slim feel. Intonation is spot on, and it's wearing fresh strings.

Condition is Very Good, with the neck, fretboard, frets, and back all presenting exceptionally well. There are some light finish scratches on the headstock and backside, along with typical PRS finish hazing around the recessed control areas and a few edges where polishing couldn't fully reach. No significant rash or heavy wear, and no breaks, repairs, or finish cracks.

It weighs 7.72 lbs on my scale and comes with a brand-new hardshell case. The original PRS pickups and removed electronics/hardware are included, along with the pictured case candy. Having those original components makes the upgrades especially appealing since you aren't losing the option of returning it to its previous configuration.
