2012 PRS P22 Indian Rosewood Neck Quilt 10 TOP Purple Haze

2012 PRS P22 Indian Rosewood Neck Quilt 10 TOP Purple Haze At the NAMM 2012 show that we all came to love, Paul Reed Smith introduced a lot of novelties, including the Signature Limited, the SE acoustic series, Van Damme/PRS cables… But perhaps the most important one is the PRS P22, their first solidbody electric guitar with a piezo! “We’ve been working on creating a solid body electric guitar with a piezo for, you wouldn’t believe it, a whole decade. We didn’t put a piezo pickup in solid-body instruments solely because our favorite company L.R. Baggs didn’t 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 production: 2012 Personal note: It is impossible to find it for sale in stock in the CIS, because the model is new… they are mostly bought only by order. 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 it is a solid wood piece after all! You can dial in anything from the acoustic sound of the guitar to fat riffs on the humbuckers. Besides the expensive and beautiful Quilt 10 TOP on the guitar, 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 standard 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's not true! The instrument has its own aura, its own sound, its own pickups that give hellish evil! And at the same time it sounds like an acoustic, at first I didn't believe my ears!!! It fits perfectly into the mix!!! It's easy to record! In short, 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” by Oleg Predtechensky, in Kharkov, in Magadan and, naturally, this one in Dnepropetrovsk!
