They are here to help. I can spot one of the Chinese Gibsons pretty easy but I have no clue what to look for on a PRS. I've got a guy who has a singlecut McCarty with a 10 top that's wanting to trade me for a couple shotguns.
Tell me some of the things to look out for on a PRS that will let me know if it's real or a chinese fake. I know on Gibsons it's pretty easy to tell. Billa prabhas 2009 full movie download 300 mb in hindi.
Customs with rosewood boards, Standards with a trap inlay on the first fret, metric bridges, etc. I been jonesin for a PRS and I love the color of this one.
The only thing I don't dig is it doesn't have the birds. If everything checks out on it and I end up trading for it, I may try to find someone that does inlay to put the abalone birds in for me. I'll post te only pics I've gotten of it so far.
He's suppossed to email me some more.
PRS Dating & Serial Numbers PRS Dating & Serial Numbers > > OLD PAGE This Is A Very Simple Formula PRS serial numbers are very easy to figure out. The only slightly confusing thing is 1985 guitars start with the same number as a 1995 guitar. 1986 guitars start with the same number as a 1996 guitar 1987 guitars start with the same number as a 1997 guitar etc. All you have to remember is, guitars built in 1985 would have a very low number, while guitars built in 1995 would have really high numbers. 5 = 1985 1 = 1991 6 = 1986 2 = 1992 7 = 1987 3 = 1993 8 = 1988 4 = 1994 9 = 1989 5 = 1995 numbers will be over 20,000 after this year 0 = 1990 6 = 1996 7 = 1997 Presumably 1999 will be the same formula; I don't know what they'll do in the year 2000. Were all gonna die then anyway so I guess it doesn't matter. Borderlands 2 cracked lan fix.
I have heard that in 1999 PRS is building over 100 guitars a day. So the numbers are climbing fast now. I remember when they were barely building 4 guitars a month The Classic Electric or CE model has one extra number inserted after the year designator and before the number of the guitar Example 3 917542 = 17,542nd guitar off the line, it would have been made in 1993. Possible exceptions Because the bolt on guitars have numbers stamped on them conceivably they could be using 1994 plates up until at least February of 1995. I don't think they throw the preprinted plates away just because the year changes. I am not sure of this but I do remember getting 1992 guitars delivered in 1993 etc.
Other ways to tell Important changeover years 1991 -- PRS stopped offering Brazilian rosewood fingerboards. Opinions vary here but I feel that the Indian Rosewood they use is still OK and shouldn't be a reason not to buy a guitar made after 1991. 1991 -- PRS stopped offering real abalone shell as the inlay material on the fingerboard. They went to a high quality, less expensive, but real mother of pearl. 1993 -- PRS came out with their version of a one piece stop tailpiece.
This tailpiece is made from white metal with absolutely NO saddle adjustment (not recommended.) The ones used previously were the excellent quality Gibson style Nashville 2 piece system with fully adjustable saddles. I really hate the new PRS Stop Tail Piece 1995 -- PRS stopped using the mother of pearl inlay in favor of an artificial laminate known as “Abalam”. Still, you have to remember Gibson uses “Mother of Toilet Seat”, which is nothing more than plastic. 1995 -- PRS changed the tremolo system dramatically. The saddles are no longer highly polished and they tend to dull up and tarnish. The original tremolo was a single piece casting made in the USA, VS. The newer one that is a 2 piece bolted together unit.
