PRS CE22 LTD Faded Blue Smokeburst

The CE 22 Limited Edition: PRS "bolt-on" DNA with 22 frets

The PRS CE 22 Ltd Faded Blue Smokeburst follows the tradition of CE models: the immediate feel and precision typical of a bolt-on neck, combined with the craftsmanship and finish that have made USA-made PRS guitars renowned. In this 22-fret version, the choice of 58/15 LT pickups reinforces the "old school" identity: generous dynamics, expressive mids, and musicality that responds equally well to touch and guitar volume. The result: a high-end electric guitar designed for players who want character without sacrificing versatility.

For which guitarists and styles?

This CE 22 Limited Edition is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a stage and studio guitar capable of covering a full set. It excels in rock, blues, pop, and any situation where you move from a tight clean to an organic crunch, then to a singing lead. The combination of 3-position selector + push/pull split facilitates register changes without pedals: you quickly get tight rhythms, more open arpeggios, and dense solo sounds while maintaining excellent clarity in the mix.

Sound

The mahogany body provides a warm foundation, with solid low-mid presence and natural sustain, while the carved flamed maple top adds attack, better note separation, and controlled brightness. The bolt-on maple neck enhances the "instant" response feel: the attack is clear, playing is precise, and pick nuances come through very quickly.

The PRS 58/15 LT pickups aim for a vintage spirit: in humbucker mode, they deliver rich, round, and singing tones with great dynamics (ideal for blues-rock, classic rock, and expressive leads). In split mode via the push/pull tone, the guitar gains clarity and bite: perfect for more open rhythms, snappier cleans, and sharper attacks, while maintaining consistent level and character.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar comes factory-strung with 10-46 gauge strings: an electric 10-46 string set is therefore the safest choice to preserve feel, tension, and setup balance. The included Premium Gig Bag is perfectly suited for daily transport and protection.
