The solidbody piezo-equipped P22 Trem is essentially two guitars in one, providing the same classic humbucker tones and authentic acoustic sounds as the original P22 with the added versatility of PRS' prized tremolo bridge.

The P22 Trem's voicing, EQ, layout and feel as well as the redesigned PRS/L.R. Baggs piezo board are all maintained in this trem-equipped model, and the materials and design of the bridge were also upheld without sacrificing any proprietary specifications. There are two output jacks on the P22 Trem, allowing you to plug into your favorite electric guitar or acoustic guitar amp or DI into a soundboard. By utilizing the separate blend control, the tone of the P22 Trem's 57/08 pickups can also be combined with acoustic sounds through a single output. Starting with the tried-and-true combination of a figured maple top, a mahogany back and neck and a rosewood fretboard, the P22 Trem looks as good as it sounds.

Ten Top
A very small percent of the maple trees cut in North America are actually figured. To make "10-Top" status, a PRS top must have clearly defined figure across its entire top with no "dead" spots. A guitar designated as a 10-Top will usually have a small "10" written on the back of the headstock in the upper right corner. Some of our earlier guitars have the "10" stamped into the finish in the same position.
