My P22 is Killing It

[C3X]

I own more than a few PRS guitars. My preference is a CU24 with a Pattern Regular neck.

A few months ago I bought a P22. Complemented my CU24s really well. I liked the thicker body, the piezo and I really liked the 53/10s. The pickups are really versatile, cleans are great and they split well. I use the neck pickup a lot. It seems that I have been playing it more and more with a CU24 as a backup instead of my usual two CU24s. But I hadn't really used the piezo, just plugged into my main board into an amp. Sounded great.

For fun, I just put together a mini-rig (kind of two) that I have been experimenting with the P22. Although I haven't taken my new mini rig out live, yet, I tried it out jamming with some friends tonight going straight to PA and a small wedge I have. It was awesome with the P22. So much fun switching between the piezo and the pickups and blending the two. Silly I know, but it made me chuckle a few times tonight how good it sounded and how much ground it covered with such a simple little rig.

Here's a few pics trying different setups before I left. I ended up using the mini board with the two pre-amps for most of the night.

Nice rig! I just got done playing my P22 for the last two hours or so.

Glad you like the 53/10 pups. I just took them out from my P22 and replaced them with SD Hot Rodded set and I like them better than stock. The 53/10 however, are gonna make their way into my SE Bernie.

My P22 has 57/08s, I love it to death, and use it for about half of my band's material. My 30th CU24 with 85/15s is my #1 though, it's a rock monster!

That's a cool setup and a really pretty gi-tar.

I am a self proclaimed TC electronic junkie myself...how do you like the flashback? I have the DL4 but being that I have the looper, tuner reverb and chorus on my board already...it seemed like a solid choice to replace the DL4 with! Not to mention I didn't really gel with the DL4...not sure why...

how do you like the flashback?

It's total overkill for what I need/do. I'm probably using only a fraction of it's capabilities. I got the 4 TC pedals really cheap so I put them on this board. I run them all except the MojoMojo through the effects loop of the SS-20 mono. I do like the concept of the tone-prints with the chorus, reverb and X4. With the X4, I don't use the looper that much anymore. I do like having 3 presets and the tap tempo.

However, I like to stack delays and you can't do that. Since it takes so much real estate, I thought about swapping it out for two delays. I probably just need to spend some more time with it.

Nice setup! Guitar giggles are always fun. I just plug straight into my amp, but I have a few PRSes that always elicit a giggle or two when I play them.

Very nice.

My P22 goes to every gig. I use the same PARA box too! My only wish is for a bigger neck. I bought mine when GC had their massive PRS blowout, without having ever played one, but the versatility is awesome!

One thing I've always wondered about the P series...how long does the battery last?

The battery in my P22 lasts months if I don't forget to unplug it. I'm guessing maybe 20ish hours continuous.

P22 is my current main as well and I also use the same LR Baggs DI! And yes.. I often wish my McRosie wide fat neck had the piezo. Such a great and comfy neck to play.
