Is this an Authentic PRS?

Looks legit to me. PRS do enjoy the occasional one-off.
I would just want to confirm the neck specs. Katalox isn't unheard of for PRS, but rare. I'd be a little surprised if the fretboard is Brazilian since it doesn't have the "Custom Built for USA Only" writing on the back of the headstock.

I’m not sure what you might find suspicious.

SN aligns for a 2018 guitar. Rosewood necks always have the SN stamped vs. written with marker since there's no finish.

Weird photos, which might be part of why it seems a little off, but the guitar itself looks spectacular!

I think it's absolutely authentic. I'm not totally sure about the neck wood description. I've never seen PRS refer to Katalox as rosewood but I'm not an expert either. I think my 2012 Experience P22 has a Katalox fretboard that PRS listed as Ebony. I have seen a recent PRS guitar ordered with a BRW fretboard that didn't say "Custom Built for USA Only" on the back of the headstock.
I think it's beautiful. If I didn't already have a McCarty SC594 with a RW neck, I'd want it myself.

Real deal, and hot looking! I dig the "dirty-ish" top.

I was admiring that too. I really dig tops like that. Looks old school and care free.
