Limited to just 1,000 guitars, the PRS CE 22 Limited Edition brings bold bolt-on feel, vintage-flavoured tone, and modern versatility together in one unmistakably PRS package. 

Following the success of the iconic CE series, PRS Guitars returns with a bang — introducing the limited edition CE 22, available exclusively to the first 1,000 buyers. If you’re after classic PRS tone with a modern edge and the flexibility to tackle just about any playing style, this one’s for you.

“This limited-edition, 22-fret model in our CE line offers classic PRS aesthetics and a voice that blends warmth with bolt-on articulation for vintage-inspired tone and modern versatility,” says Paul Miles, Product Manager at PRS Guitars.

Last seen in 2008, the PRS CE 22 is back and more refined than ever. Equipped with the exclusive 58/15 LT pickups — a design inspired by PRS’s classic sound but refined for exceptional clarity and a wide dynamic range — this limited edition delivers a truly unique tone that blends emotional vintage warmth with modern precision and sharpness.

The neck features a 25” bolt-on maple Regular Pattern with a 22-fret design, offering a familiar, comfortable grip from the very first play. The body is crafted from mahogany, renowned for its warmth and resonance. With its open grain structure, mahogany allows the sound to resonate deeply, producing rich, bass-heavy tones with exceptional sustain. Paired with a maple top — a dense wood that tightens and focuses the tone while minimising excessive reverberation — the CE 22 produces a sound that’s both clear and full-bodied, with depth and definition in every note.

The CE 22 Limited Edition is also equipped with PRS Phase III Locking Tuners, featuring an elegant open-back design and unplated brass shafts, offering both refined aesthetics and smooth, precise gear ratios for flawless tuning. The push/pull tone knob and three-way switch give you effortless control over a vast spectrum of tones — from rich, powerful humbuckers to crisp, bright single-coils. And with the PRS Patented Tremolo system, you can create smooth, expressive vibrato effects while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability, ensuring your performance remains flawless, no matter the style.

Coated in a sleek nitro finish, the CE 22 is available in a striking range of colours, including Black Amber, Carroll Blue, Faded Blue Smokeburst, Faded Grey Black, and McCarty Sunburst. This limited edition is ready to stand out in any studio or on any stage.
