- Mar 21, 2019 Prs Serial Number Check. 3/21/2019 0 Comments Funny sms tone. Some time during 2008 PRS started using a '08' instead of an '8' on the serial numbers. For example, I just got in my first PRS in about 4 years - a KL1812. It has the '08' on the serial number (although it didn't leave the factory until early January 2009).

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. 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.
