2019 PRS Special 22 Semi-Hollow
Description
Offered for your consideration is this very cool PRS Special 22 Semi-Hollow a model which was introduced in 2018. Many of you will quickly recognize the similarities between this model and the Super Eagle often played by John Mayer when he performed with Dead & Company. The Super Eagle is a far more expensive instrument, but the similarity between these two models is obvious.
The Special is a short scale (25") instrument based on PRS' Custom 22. It has a semi-hollow Mahogany body with a flamed Maple top and a single F-hole. This example is incredibly light in weight at just 6.8 pounds. It has a Mahogany neck with PRS' "Pattern" carve which is an updated version of their former "Wide/Fat" neck shape and has a depth of .875" at the first fret. The fretboard on this guitar is Rosewood with a 10" radius, medium fret wire and a 1-11/16" nut. The Special has a PRS Gen III vibrato bridge and Phase III locking tuners.
To play Dead tunes with tones reminiscent of Jerry Garcia's, John Mayer needed a guitar with flexible electronics. The Special is nearly as flexible as his Super Eagle thanks to three pickups, including two 58/15 MT humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions and a PRS Narrowfield in the middle. Controls include a master volume, master tone, a five-way blade switch and mini toggles to split the neck and bridge humbuckers. This setup allows this guitar to make almost any tone you can think of, from thick humbucker crunch to Strat quack and Tele twang, along with everything in between. The guitar's semi-hollow construction adds an airy, woody voice that is marvelous and adds to the guitar's flexibility. Please check out the brief sound sample.
As a PRS, this guitar is built with a quality that few other manufacturers can duplicate and it nearly plays itself. It's light weight and superb setup make it a joy to play. Please check out the brief sound sample and the PRS video provided herein.
This instrument was built in 2019 and has been lovingly treated by its original owner and remains in superb condition with no flaws of any significance. The frets are spotless. It comes in its original PRS case, also in ‘as new’ condition, along with the trem arm, "Bird Tag" and all the other paperwork and accessories.
A new example of this instrument costs over $5K but this lightly played 2019 model can be yours for substantially less. Make this 'Swiss Army Knife" of a guitar yours today!
