10 TOP, BIRDS... AND SOAP! WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?!
You're looking at a 1999 PRS Custom 22, with a Whale Blue finish, on sweet maple 10 Top, birds fret inlays... an 3 soapbar pickups! Although there is no "10" on the back of the headstock, it is designated as a "10 Top" in the bridge pickup cavity. This is one of the "first run" triple soapbars that PRS produced back in 1999. They discontinued this model shortly after, and then came out with a Limited Edition run in 2008. Enough of the history lesson though.. We're guitar-players... and we like to talk about screaming tone, and blazing fast action! ... Well this one has both! Just a great axe all the way! She's 100% original and ready to rock the house down!
Here is the lowdown on the features;
- Carved Maple 10 Top ~ Marked "10" in the Bridge Pickup Cavity
- Mahogany Back
- Maple Set Neck
- Maple Fretboard
- Abalone Birds Fret Inlays
- PRS Locking Tuners ~ with the old school "wings"!
- PRS Tremelo Bridge ~ Includes the whammy bar!
- Nickel Hardware
- 3 Soapbar Pickups

- 5-Way Blade Pickup Selector

She is just about to celebrate her 11th birthday, and has been totally babied! I just picked this up from the original owner, who only played the guitar sparingly, in a smoke-free atmosphere. She's in super clean condition, with no nicks, dings or scratches to be found. This is actually cleaner than some brand new guitars that I get in here! The neck is straight with no cracks or repairs... The frets are perfect with their entire life ahead of them... And the sound is out of this world!! Also included is the original PRS rectangular hard shell case (shown in the pics) and although the bird tag is missing, it does include the other case candy as shown in the pics! WHOEVER wins this auction is going to be totally STOKED!!
