PRS Custom 22 Semi-Hollow 10-Top Special Order 1998 - Tortoise Shell

For your consideration, we present a stunning special order 10-Top from PRS's heyday.

This one-owner Custom 22 was ordered from Grandma's Music & Sound in Albuquerque, New Mexico and delivery was taken early in 1998. The top of this PRS sports a gorgeous quilted 10-Top and celebrates the natural beauty of the wood in a deep Tortoise Shell finish. However, what sets this example apart from the countless others on the market is what it lacks: the birds-in-flight inlays. The owner opted for a stripped-back look on this PRS, and this aesthetic choice is sure to polarize PRS fans out there. A Wide-Fat neck profile is coupled with 22x Medium Jumbo frets and is topped with a stunning grain of a rosewood fingerboard and a set of PRS Phase-1 Locking tuning machines.

This spartan-and solid rare 10-Top is a delight for the eyes, ears, and hands. If you're in the pool of folks that have never fallen in love with a PRS, this one might just win your heart.
