NuGD (almost a Dragon I)

[Going Modal]

1993 Custom 22 (first year of the CU22—hey, it's "only" 30 years old!)
10-top (stamped!)
Small signature-logo on headstock
Winged tuners (enough said!)
Dragon pickups (the original ones)

According to PRS's model-history page, the Custom 22 model was "...based on a Dragon Series, without the inlay...". So, while that guitar might be untouchable, I basically just acquired a Dragon I without the cachet of a near-priceless-investment piece or the fancy-pants inlay (it does have birds, though). And besides, I already have a dragon on my Westie, so I'm good.

Proof that it's not a First Act Hello Kitty ukulele:

The '95 CU22 in my profile photo is my favorite PRS guitar I've owned. Had it forever so I have to call it my #1.

But I love my SE Silver Sky and '97 CE22 too!

 

[Torvald]

I love my SE's, but you guys have got me GASing for a Core model.

 

[Mark Ray]

Yessir, you discovered one of "'da good 'uns!"

My '95 CU22 is just like yours, except in Royal Blue. A true workhorse of a guitar!

Dude! That is a killer find. Looks mint, too.

Freakin' sweet!

Gun to my head that era Custom 22 might be my favorite PRS of all, I spent a lot of time one back in the day and loved it. That finish is also the best for those……..nice!

 

[Moondog Wily]

That is pure class! Congrats!!

 

[ViperDoc]

Hard tail no less. VERY nice. The stain job on it is fantastic, I love the smooth teardrop fade.

 

[Rhythmisking]
