Preowned 2014 PRS Custom 22 Tremolo 10-Top - Grey Black

Why We Love It

When a guitar wears the coveted PRS "10" on the back of the headstock, you know you are looking at an elite tier of wood selection. This 2014 Custom 22 features a gorgeous, highly figured Grey Black 10-Top flame maple cap over a rich mahogany back. What truly elevates this specific instrument is the factory-loaded set of covered 57/08 humbuckers. Combining these vintage-voiced pickups with the 22-fret platform pushes the neck pickup into its ideal harmonic sweet spot, giving you access to some of the finest, roundest, and most touch-sensitive clean and overdrive tones available in modern guitar building.

Who It Is For

Perfect for the discerning tone chaser, session pro, or serious collector who demands the pinnacle of PRS aesthetic beauty paired with definitive golden-era vintage tones. If you want a double-cut workhorse that can comfortably cross genres from smoky Texas blues to pristine modern worship sets—while maintaining rock-solid tuning integrity via the Gen III tremolo—this 10-Top is the ultimate acquisition.

Tone Profile

The 57/08 pickups are legendary for a reason. Introduced to replicate the definitive humbucking sounds of the late 1950s, they deliver an incredibly open, three-dimensional tone profile. The lows are tight and warm, the midrange sings without getting muddy, and the covered design adds a hint of sweet, smooth compression to the high-end attack.

• Skill Level: Advanced, Professional, Collector

• Compared To: Collings City Limits Deluxe vs Gibson Les Paul Historic R9, Suhr Aura

• Sanctuary Expert Note: The Grey Black 10-Top flame has a great inverted chevron figure. Equipped with covered 57/08 pickups, this 22-fret layout yields an incredibly sweet, woody neck tone and a punchy, clear bridge humbucker response that effortlessly captures classic vintage PAF mojo with more versatility than you typically get with 2 humbuckers, and modern tuning stability.

Key Features & Condition Note

• Condition: Very Good overall condition. The stunning 10-Top flame maple cap is remarkably clean and vibrant, showing only minor light surface swirling from careful play. The back and nickel hardware show standard, honest signs of handling wear, consistent with a premium guitar that was played and well-loved. While it could use some time under a buffing wheel, there are few areas that couldn't be remedied.

• Inclusions: Includes the original PRS hardshell case, a genuine PRS tremolo arm, and a factory adjustment wrench kit. Please note that the original paper hangtag and warranty paperwork are not present.

• Playability: Fully inspected, meticulously detailed, and freshly set up by our master in-house technician to guarantee low, fluid action and spot-on intonation.
