If you google Zak's pawnshop (if even is Zak's) it's a real place and that's weird about the links
Another fake but shop claims it is authentic...lol.

Did you try calling Zak's and asking them about the item?

I have not but thought about it earlier as I watched it tick down.

The knob placement on this red "PS" is interesting. This looks like an older PRS SC-J design:
The SC-J also appears to spec Grover vintage jazz tuners.
The newer JA-15s I've seen have knobs at an angle and Phase III tuners per PRS current trends.
It's possible that red guitar is legit, never mind the mysteriously duplicitous serial number. Although, if it came to it, that ambi-Santana sawed-off hunk of sh!t would lose to the red option 100%.

wow sold for $2650, Zak made off good on that one. Now someone is getting a fake guitar for christmas...and if Zak can close the account and run...before then..they get away with it. I'm sure ebay could care less since they got a nice cash day from it as well. Poor buyer. I've been stiffed for $20 on ebay..but this is another level.

Could also be money laundering.

The bad thing is the buyer also thinks it’s real. I remember, during my police career, recovering a $4000 Gibson Les Paul that was stolen. When I opened the case, it was clearly a Chibson. The owner angrily refused to believe me when I told him it was fake. I mean refused. I suggested he take it to any music store to confirm, but he wasn’t having it. So we gave him back his Chibson and sent him on his way. The real theft went unreported in that case!
People always want to believe they are the one that found that one ‘59 Burst for $750.00, and as long as those folks exist, there will be fakes. One born every minute...

I think this is legit, check the back of the headstock. Whoever uses the gold sharpie to mark it Private Stock has very distinguishable handwriting.

I’ve only been involved with PRS guitars for about a year. Help me understand PRS history. I’ve only ever seen their pointed shape headstocks. Did they have different shaped headstocks in the past like the guitars above or is that what makes them obvious fakes?
