But alas it is not for me, but for my youngest son for Christmas.
I got him a 2012 PRS SE Semi-Hollow for his birthday of that year, and this one is an updated model with an F hole instead of the slash hole on his first one.
This one has the wide/fat neck like his other one and a few of my PRS SEs I have like the Santana and Zach Myer ones.
I prefer the thinner wide/thin neck on the SEs, but I also enjoy playing this type of neck too.
In fact this neck seems to be thinner than a wide/fat one, and more like a wide/thin, weird.
The only mods to this new guitar are Schaller Strap Locks which I put on every guitar, and the Planet Waves Auto Trim tuners.
The dealer put on the latter.
Those too go on just about every SE guitar I have bought from my dealer.
The finish on this guitar is very nice, and it plays very nice too.
I would say this plays perhaps better than any other SE guitar I own, including the SE Santana, SE Zach Myers, SE Custom 24 and the SE Tremonti Custom.
And the latter two have the wide/thin neck which I prefer, but this Custom 22 plays better than all of them.
Derick who did the setup down at A Sharp Music where I buy all of my guitars from really hit it out of the park with the setup on this one, and the team in South Korea really built a gem here.
Playing this acoustically too it just rings.
This guitar was 1/4th of what my Maryland USA built 408 cost, and it plays very competitively with it.
Of course the wood, electronics, and other stuff are not up to the same quality as the 408, but this one just has a magic vibe to it.

This will give me some time to mess around with it since Christmas is two months away
These SE guitars are an incredible value, and often blow away more expensive USA made guitars by F&G.
On with some pics!
I have three extra USA built cases, so my son will be getting this guitar in one of them.
The gig bag it came with is also brown now instead of the maroon color they have been for the past several years.
The SEs no longer ship with the PRS truss rod covers, but I have a few extra laying around so I threw one on.
The pic makes it look yellow, but it is a nice dark orange.
The Planet Wave Auto-Trim tuners.
Best tuners I have ever used next to the PRS Phase IIIs that are on my 408.
PRS should really think about adding these to all of their SEs from the factory.
Only thing is new holes need to be drilled for the screws.
Less curvy than its USA cousin, but still great too hold and play.
I am going to try and make a video tomorrow and upload it if I get time.
