Here for sale we have a PRS Artist Package Custom 22 Electric Guitar in Teal Black finish. Built in the USA in 1999, this set-neck constructed guitar consists of a Mahogany body with a carved flame Maple top, a Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a vintage-style 6-point tremolo bridge, PRS Winged Locking Tuners, and a set of Dragon II Treble and Bass pickups. These pickups are wired to a master volume, master tone, and a 5-way rotary pickup selector.
 
The Mahogany neck plays superbly well, with the 'Pattern Thin' profile offering a smooth, responsive and articulate paying experience in all registers. Certainly, the profile is well suited to lead players as it is slim enough for fast melodic lines and solos. The gloss finish to the rear of the neck assists with navigation of the 25" scale, and the double cutaway body design with signature PRS sculpted lower horn enhances access to the upper frets. The Rosewood of the fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, it's 10" radius feeling practical for a wide range of playing styles and techniques whilst the attractive bordered Abalone inlays add a touch of luxury to the playing experience.
 
The pair of PRS Dragon II humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver thick and full-bodied tones, with plenty of switching options to ensure versatility. The Dragon II Bass in the neck position is warm and round, and delivers plenty of power to push those lead lines and solos to the front of the mix. The Dragon II Treble in the bridge is brighter, and can handle serious amounts of gain for a saturated rhythm guitar sound on your riffs and power chords. In positions 2 & 4 the pickups effectively split, providing an out-of-phase single coil sound which works well for crystal clear shimmering clean sounds. The control layout remains simple but offers plenty of scope for shaping your tone.
 
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.

    Aesthetic Condition:

    Headstock: Overall very good condition, the corners of the headstock all display varying degrees of indentation and chipping, revealing the wood beneath in some places, delaminating the finish slightly in others. This will not worsen through regular use. Similar indentation causing slight delamination of the finish can be identified to the bass side of the headstock. The front face demonstrates light to moderate scratching, most notably beside the D string machine head. A notable chip to the finish is apparent to the bass side front edge near the nut, revealing the wood beneath.

    Neck: Overall very good condition, the rear of the neck demonstrates light indentation throughout the register which can be very slightly felt under the thumb in playing position. This does not affect the overall playability of the instrument. The fingerboard demonstrates some light indentation in the early register consistent with regular playwear. The fingerboard edges demonstrate chipping of the finish throughout the register.

    Body: Overall very good condition, the front face demonstrates light indentation to the lower bout, slightly piercing the finish in places. Very light scratching visible only under direct lighting at certain angles can be identified to all aspects of the body. The edges and sides of the guitar demonstrate light indentation causing similar delamination as on the rear of the neck and headstock. This should not worsen through regular use and is most notable to the bass side lower bout rear edge where a section approximately 2-3 inches across has delaminated slightly. The rear edge of the treble side horn has chipped, revealing the wood beneath. This is stable and does not flex or crack under the finger. The rear face demonstrates moderate buckle rash.

     

    Condition of Frets:

    The frets have had a level and re-crown. There is moderate material remaining for future fret work.
