Watchtower Guitars and our partnership with Paul Reed Smith Guitars is growing to new levels 2021. We have one of the best selections of Core, Bolt On, S2 and SE models in the tri-state area. All of these guitars are available to be tested at our new PRS showroom in Morristown NJ. Please contact us to make an appointment. Working with us at Watchtower Guitars is a full tone experience not just a transaction.
We proudly present this amazing PRS Custom 22 Artist Package with its distinctive Pattern neck with an absolutely magnificent Artist grade top in autumn sky finish and toned back. This finish is only available on the Artist package guitars and as of now PRS has discontinued the Artist grade program due to lack of high quality wood. Luckily we ordered 25 plus Artist grade models over a year ago and PRS has promised to make them. This solid body electric is built from a flame maple top, with an extremely comfortable mahogany body and neck and a gaboon ebony fingerboard. This amazing guitar looks, feels and sounds magnificent.

The Custom 22 is a classic workhorse with all the tones you’ve come to expect from your PRS with a distinctive midrange and clarity thanks, in part, to its 85/15 pickups. These pickups are wired for our 5-way blade switch, which offers a dual humbucker option (see switching positions below). The Custom 22 also features a PRS patented Gen III trem and comfortable solid mahogany pattern neck.
For 2020, PRS has updated this model with TCI-tuned pickups and nitro over celluose (CAB) finish.
