OK, this might cause me to actually pay pre-order pricing. Westies are rare and expensive.

1994 - a 2004 would have "CE" in the SN.

1994 CE. The "4" prefix indicates year, the "7" indicates CE, and 10531 is the actual serialized production number.

For those unaware, there is a massive dollop of sarcasm/reverse meaning here... But yeah, I'd say the NF 53 is the closest.

Is there another thread on this topic that I missed? The lack of engagement is surprising - one of the long-held gripes that I sense is held against PRS is the lack of LH models in their range. Or is it because an SE product line update, and/or there are very few lefties here?

Yeah, they would have announced it in Jan, maybe Feb at the latest. Hoping for 2025 at this rate, for 40th anniv.

@deathworlder noted the (Sweetwater?) description: "Lastly, this case’s biggest innovation is a proprietary latch system that facilitates near-instant access on-demand using mechanics inspired by zip ties. This system not only provides TSA and airport overseers with rapid access, but also...

Well, blame it on the legal departments of big companies - they need to stay busy! - or blame it on the overly litigious society that seems to be everywhere (but especially the US). Gibson has sued lots of companies over such things, sometimes successful (Dean Flying V) sometimes not (PRS...

The "regular" PRS wooden-tolex multi-fit cases don't fit the ZMs either...

Wow! Just...wow! A semi-hollow Santana, with beautiful wood specs, especially that neck!

PRS has seemingly been focusing on the new SE models, so I imagine they are perhaps sitting on stock for any new/changed S2 / Core models until later this year, so as not to steal thunder / cannibalize sales. At some point I thought PRS had a cadence to their annual line updates, but that seems...

I've seen a fake SE Paul Allender (the one with bats from many years ago). The fake looked obviously fake.

This is the case. Rotating a HB pickup 180 deg does nothing to overall phase. When the SSH was the Experience Limited thing, the neck pickup-pole-screws orientation was as shown in most places: opposite to the "normal" orientation. When the SSH went to a normal production core model, it seems...

Maybe the seller took it out to examine the back, forgot which way it goes? Maybe that's how it was installed randomly at the factory? It doesn't really matter, AFAIK. Guitar looks fine to me, I'd never have noticed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
