Scored this instrument online and arrived yesterday. Fantastic instrument!

Meet "The Smiths".

Nice! I am wanting to pick up a P series myself!

 

[ViperDoc]

Excellent pickup. I cannot overstate the importance of picking up a dedicated acoustic amp. Fishman Loudbox works excellently. You can thank me later. Cheers!

Looks like the other Smiths approve...great score. Since its an earlier one, it probably has the 53/10s, which are amazing pickups. Bet she sounds stellar. Congratulations!

 

[shupe13]

Absolutely beautiful!

Congrats!!

 

[JustRob]

Congrats! I'm borrowing a P22 right now and I love it.

 

[veinbuster]

Very nice.
Is that a one piece top?

 

[polarbipolar]

Cool, congrats.
Love 5:25 Express too!

 

[bodia]

Sweet score!

 

[Jimi D]

Lovely guitar - congrats! I really enjoy the piezo on my Hollowbody II; it can be really effective when you blend a bit of it with the magnetic pups...

 

[RonnieD]

Nice trio you got there!

 

[CVS]

Great score - congrats on all 3 beauties

 

[László]

Beautiful guitar - actually, all three are super-nice!

 

[shinksma]

Nice one piece top! I love my P24 Trem and my Spruce HB (with stoptail), so this would be a really nice blend of those.

Lovely blue color. Don't show it to Sergio, though.

Congratulations!! Beautiful guitar. Amazing 1 piece top. And for whatever reason, the bird inlays really seem to pop on this one! Enjoy.

Beautiful! Love that top...and that color!

Which leads me to asking this... when I did a setup on it last night I popped the pups out and they were labeled "P22". Would that be the same as "uncovered 53/10's"? They sound fantastic nonetheless.

Thank you everyone! While I still yet have to spend more time on it, the guitar sounds and feels stellar. It's the lightest PRS I have owned so far.

Unfortunately, P22 pickups are labeled "P22" whether they're 53/10's or 57/08's or probably 58/15's. If I read your serial number correctly, your P22 is an early/mid 2012 guitar. I think that's before they switched from 53/10 to 57/08 pickups so I think you have 53/10's.

Stellar! P22 is my current fav. Yours is a beauty indeed, enjoy that axe!
