2012 PRS P22 10 Top Trampas Green Custom 22 Piezo

2012 PRS P22 10 Top Trampas Green Custom 22 Piezo At the NAMM 2012 show we all came to love, Paul Reed Smith introduced a bunch of novelties, including Signature Limited, the SE acoustic series, Van Damme/PRS cables... But perhaps the most important is the PRS P22, their first solidbody electric guitar with a piezo! "We have been working on creating a solidbody electric guitar with a piezo for, you won't believe it, a whole decade. We didn't put a piezo pickup in solidbody instruments solely because our favorite company L.R. Baggs didn't manufacture a pickup+preamp that would fit in there. But we managed to reach an agreement and developed one." Paul Reed Smith “I have recorded and mixed hundreds and hundreds of acoustic guitars, including mixing live and studio parts, and I have never heard a more musical, more natural sound from an acoustic pickup system. This fact alone thrilled me immensely, but when I heard the electric sound – I was just blown away,” said Grammy winner, famous producer and sound engineer Don McCollister after a recording session with the P22.

Hardware: Nickel Included: Original case, documents, adjustment tools.... Country of origin: USA Year of manufacture: 2012 Personal note: It is difficult to find them for actual sale in the CIS, they appear rarely, and mostly through me. I compared the p22 with my hollowbody with piezo — I liked it more than that — the main difference is the presence of coil-splits in addition to the piezo and a fatter sound from the humbuckers, and the wood is solid! You can dial in anything from the acoustic sound of the guitar to fat riffs on humbuckers. The expensive, beautiful Quilt 10 TOP is no longer used on the Artist Package, let alone on regular production models and 10 top PRS guitars, so here is + five hundred to the beauty and rarity of the instrument, which is already beyond all praise. Many say that the guitar differs from a Custom only by the piezo, but that is not true! The instrument has its own aura, its own sound, its own pickups, by the way, the rare 53/10, which provide hellish evil! And at the same time, it sounds like an acoustic, at first I didn't believe my ears!!! It sits perfectly in the mix!!! It is easy to record! In general, the best guitars I have ever had are undoubtedly the PRS P22. The PRS P22s that I have sold can be heard in: Moscow, at performances of the group "Tsvety" with Oleg Predtechensky, in Kharkiv, in Magadan, and naturally, this one in Dnipropetrovsk! Review of my first, and at one time the first in the CIS, PRS P22 Such a wonderful instrument... Prices for which in the USA (without shipping, taxes, interest, customs...) sometimes exceed $4400 (this is the recommended price for sale in the USA by dealers for a 10 top, not even a quilt) - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Paul-Reed-Smith-Custom-22-Piezo-10-Top-Emerald-6226-/182491690715 .
