Old time hockey! Eddie Shore!

I'd guess it's Tobacco Burst. If you email PRS Customer Service and include the serial number they will be happy to give you the specs of the guitar.

Another one on Reverb. This one is white with gold hardware, which I've never seen. Looks pretty cool! NF3 on Reverb

Nice one! I owned an EG for a while and it was very Strat-like but with the great PRS tremolo. Based on the serial number yours is a 1991: 1 = 1991 5 = EG series 1190 = 1190th EG made, which falls in the range of serial numbers of those built in 1991 Take a look at the "EG" section of this...

You can find some serial number info here. MODCAT stickers can be found on some cases, sometimes on the info tag if you have that and also under one of the pickups. My guess is that RG 45th is a custom truss rod cover. Maybe a 45th birthday present? You can't post photos here but you can host...

Beauty!

About a year ago I bought a 1997 Custom 22 w/moons & stop tail and it had Dragon I's. So it's likely a 1995 also came stock with the Dragon I's. I think the Dragon II's were introduced around 1998.

Wow, that was over a year ago. Time flies. I ended up getting the guitar from the OP and it still gets lots of playing time. I owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. 5962, wherever you he may be.

Nice NF3 at a decent price (no affiliation): https://reverb.com/item/79185670-prs-nf3-usa-narrowfield-pickups-rare

That "MC5-101" has nothing to do with the color. Some sellers include codes related to their inventory in their titles. It's meaningless to us, but I guess it helps them search for specific items or keep track of their stuff. That "MC5-101" just happens to be next to the words "Custom Color" but...

If you can solder, the solution is probably to note where each of the wires from the bridge pickup is connected to the switch and swap to where the neck pickup is connected. Do the same for the neck pickup.

Glad you're enjoying them both. I use my NF3s as my 1a and 1b (and 1c and 1d) gigging guitars and they just work. I've noticed the Phase III tuners can get tight too. If you find a solution please share. I never had that issue with Phase I or IIs.

I'm not sure which 5-way was used in 1991, the type in the link I sent or the one with the 3 blue layers. Someone else here probably knows.

I did a search for "PRS Rotary" on Reverb and several turn up. A few are less than $100 USD. Here's one as an example: https://reverb.com/item/66708216-prs-5-way-rotary-switch-1999

Congrats, Rick!
