PRS Guitars is bringing back some pretty cool features, but in a limited edition model.
PRS has just announced their CE 22 Limited Edition line, which is limited to 1,000 pieces and bring back the 22-fret version of a classic bolt-on mainstay. The CE 22 Limited Edition offers a 25″ scale length, a Mahogany body and Maple top with a bolt-on Maple neck. The guitar is outfitted with PRS’ vintage-inspired 58/15 LT pickups, push/pull tone control, three-way toggle switch, and PRS locking tuners with wing buttons.
“This limited-edition, 22-fret model in our CE line offers classic PRS aesthetics and a voice that blends warmth with bolt-on articulation for vintage-inspired tone and modern versatility,” said PRS Guitars Director of Manufacturing, Paul Miles.
The original CE, with 24 frets, first appeared in stores in 1988. It wasn’t until 1994 that a 22-fret version debuted, just a few months after the release of the Custom 22. That model lasted until 2008, where it was promptly phased out of PRS’ lineup… until now.
Though the CE 22 Limited Edition is a different animal from the CE 24. These differences include the model of pickups, placement of pickups, and, of course, the number of frets. That is all while retaining the CE family’s combination of maple and mahogany, nitro finish, PRS Patented Tremolo and Phase III Locking Tuners.
The CE 22 Limited Edition comes in Black Amber, Carroll Blue, Faded Blue Smokeburst, Faded Gray Black and McCarty Sunburst. Get it here for $2,699.
