2012 PRS P22 Indian Rosewood Neck Eriza Verde

2012 PRS P22 Indian Rosewood Neck Eriza Verde At the NAMM 2012 show that we all grew to love, Paul Reed Smith presented a bunch of new products, including Signature Limited, the SE acoustic series, Van Damme/PRS cables… But perhaps the most important thing is the PRS P22, their first solidbody electric guitar with a piezo! “We have been working on creating a solid body 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, did not produce 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 tracks, and I have never heard a more musical, more natural sound from an acoustic pickup system. This fact alone excited me extremely, 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.

Country of manufacture: USA Year of manufacture: 2012 From me: In real retail, it is impossible to find them in stock in the CIS, because it is a new model… they are mostly bought only on order. I compared the p22 with my hollowbody with a 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 besides, it's a solid piece of wood! You can dial in anything from the acoustic sound of a guitar to fat riffs on humbuckers. The rosewood neck adds + five hundred to the beauty of the instrument, which is already beyond praise. It is more comfortable in the hand than the mass-produced p22s. I haven't heard anything like it in terms of sound! Many say that the guitar differs from a Custom only by the piezo, but that is not the case! The instrument has its own aura, its own sound, its own pickups, giving pure evil! And at the same time, it sounds like an acoustic, at first I couldn't believe my ears!!! It fits perfectly in the mix!!! It's easy to record! In general, the best guitars I've had are definitely the PRS P22. The PRS P22s that I sold can be heard in: Moscow, at performances of the group “Tsvety” with Oleg Predtechensky, in Kharkov, in Magadan, and naturally, this one in Dnipropetrovsk! My personal review of my first and, at the time, the first PRS P22 in the CIS Such a wonderful instrument… The prices for which in the USA (excluding shipping, taxes, percentages, customs…) sometimes exceed $4500 http://www.ebay.com/itm/PRS-P22-Orange-Tiger-10-Top-Indian-Rosewood-Neck-Gold-Hardware-/261201808021 , there are small scratches from use, but nothing brutal. The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it on a good tube amplifier of your choice — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl…. Within 1-2 days I will deliver to any city in the CIS
