2013 PRS P22 Charcoal Burst

Posted on January 22, 2014   

This is Sara, my P22. Sounds like a dream -- the separate piezo output enables sounds that you just can't get with the vast majority of guitars -- and she looks absolutely gorgeous. Depending on the lighting, the charcoal burst looks anywhere from a nice rich natural wood (almost like a tiger burst) to a silvery grey to purple.

    Yeah, I love everything about this guitar except the stock pickups and pickup rings. About to swap the rings out for some nice wood, and she'll be perfect.

    Thanks for the reply. That's what I was afraid you would say. I love everything about the way PRS is improving their design except for the pickups. They had a beast with the original Dragons and Dragon IIs. Shame you can't get those any longer.

    Thanks! Honestly? I despised the stock pickups. They sounded ultra sterile and boring. I swapped them out for a Lace Humbucker in the neck and a Deathbucker in the bridge, and they are just ridiculously nice. Much better tone; the low end actually sounds nice now. Great when blended well with the piezos. Really can't say enough good things about those pickups.

    Sara is absolutely gorgeous. How would you compare the sound of the regular pickups in the P22 to say a Custom 22 or Custom 24?
