The Corvette Standard 22 is an '06 and is Lemans Blue. A very nice drssed up standard and hopefully a collector item in the future. It has Dragon II pick ups and a five way rotory switch. Mahogany body and neck w/ phase two tuners. It also has a trem. The only down fall is I like the 3 way over the 5 way switch. That's why I give it a nine.

Sounds very good w/ the humbuckers. Even when the pick ups are ciol taped. I've run it directly into a Yamaha 212 solid state amp and a Line6 Ax2. It sounds great.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The guitar came out of the box perfect. Everything was factory set and a pleasure to play. The looks and feel are fantastic. PRS quality as ususal.
Reliability/Durability
:

This guitar, as well as the other PRS guitars I own, will withstand a beating and keep on ticking. There is no flaw in the finish or the hardware. This guitar roaks, but never gig w/o a back up.

N/A. Never had to use them and the dealer I use will see that any work will be taken care of.
Overall Rating

I have been at the guiatr for over 35 years and keep plucking at it. I have other PRS guitars in my heard, as well as Gibsond, Fenders and Epiphones. If any of them were stolen I would replace them (insurance helps). This PRS is a very good quality made instrument and will keep on going well after I'm gone. I look forward to playing and collecting in the future.
