I searched trough the forum and I didn't found a thread dedicated to the SCT. So now it's done 
Some pictures of my SCT (I do not have the hang tag, so I do not know the exact color reference) :
The story behind this SCT: I really like the 95 CE22 I picked last year. It's a perfect balanced between LPish / modern sounding, with a little touch of maple neck bites. Somehow the best of every world
I also owned 5 years ago a Standard 22, with Dragon II. It was a nice guitar, but I found it a little too dark for me.
After too many hours watching PRS factory tour video on PRS You Tube channel, I started to search a second PRS with a wide fat mahogany neck => the research of a used Custom 22 was launched (I prefer used instrument filling, and it helps to control your budget). I spent some months to seek the right CU22. And in January this year I attend to a show of Steven Wilson. I total forgot the existence of the SCT model, and as I am also a LP aficionado, I add the SCT to my wishlist. I finally found a 2007 SCT that seems to be in nice shape and I bought it.
Thanks Steven!
I have been a little disappointed first, because this SCT was not as clean as expected. In fact, it was the rustiest and the stickiest guitar I ever bought. And the set up was a total mess, the trem was tightened all the way down and the tuner were used as non-locking tuner . Even the PU selector was not working properly: treble position was not staying engaged. So, it took about 2 weeks to clean it, polish it and find the right set up. Pickups height has been tricky to fine tune, but finally the "infamous" #6 pickups are pretty good. The treble #6 is a little disappointing in clean, I feel it miss some low ends and the split sounds weak compare to the neck (and if I raise the PU too high it become dirty). On the other hand, overdriven sound and distortion are amazing on any PU combination, very raw in your face type of sound. I was thinking about swapping the #6, for dragon II, but I think the only mod I will do is adding a treble bleed cap. This SCT is a real rock machine
Now guys go ahead show us your SCT
