Can anyone please tell me what year and which model this PRS Hollowbody is? I’ve never seen such a thick looking PRS Hollowbody.

Yes, they were Core models. This is a picture of the regular Hollowbody insides, but the Archtop would have been the same.Wrap around tailpiece.
Must be a big block of wood under it to screw the mounting studs into.
So it's not fully hollow. The back and top are connected by that block of wood at the very least.
Is that a CORE guitar? Never seen one before.
I don't know what your budget is, but I managed to grab a '97 Archtop for $1,700. I got lucky, it was used at GC and they priced it stupidly low.Thanks for all the information. I searched on the internet and found some photos. These guitars are stunningly beautiful but their price tag is too rich for this guitarist. Looks like the more affordable equivalent would be the SE Hollowbody II Piezo or SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo. But the SE guitars come in very limited colors and are no real replacement for the Archtop model…and I’d like to own a red Archtop seen in the photos I posted. Guess I’ll have to start saving my pennies.
Wow, that’s a fantastic price and was stupidly low. Online, I’ve seen an average of $3000-$5000 (give or take). $1,700 is more in my price range. I found a SE Custom Semi-Hollowbody (single f-hole) at GC for $600. It was in pristine condition and had a perfect setup with a floating bridge. It’s the best playing guitar I’ve ever owned and I felt an instant connection with it when I took it off the shelf and played it. I thought it was underpriced, even though $600 is probably about the right price. But it was better playing and better looking than the more expensive PRS’s in the store.I don't know what your budget is, but I managed to grab a '97 Archtop for $1,700.

Dang dude, when was that?! I've been looking to snag an archtop forever.I don't know what your budget is, but I managed to grab a '97 Archtop for $1,700. I got lucky, it was used at GC and they priced it stupidly low.
It was 2019, and I got it from a GC in Iowa. Sadly, it’s moved on. Cool guitar, but not my thingDang dude, when was that?! I've been looking to snag an archtop forever.
So if you are ever looking to thin the herd (again), hit me up (again).

Oh, I remember that one from a previous post! Freaking beautiful! I like how the darker burst highlights around the f-holes.They look like this:
If I were to get all pedantic about it, I'd add that it was actually named the Archtop Jazz, which all had a spruce top and piezo, but I'm not persnickety that way.That is the Archtop model. No idea on the year for that specific guitar. If I remember correctly, they started making them in 1997 and stopped in 2004. The first few years it was known as the McCarty Archtop, and the last 3 it was the Archtop.
