So I've been wanting to officially confirm my CE24 was modified at the factory.
I was told it was modified at the PRS factory for an Artist. Word from the seller. So I reached out to PRS Customer Service and my guitar is definitely not what the serial number they have on record shows. I did expect as much. I just wonder if there is some type of record on the jobs they perform. I was hoping they'd have that tied to the S/N.
From PRS customer service:
Thank you for contacting PRS Guitars.
Our records indicate Serial# 17 236171 is a 2017 CE 24, with a Flame Maple top, Mahogany back, Maple neck with a Wide-Thin profile, East Indian Rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, PRS tremolo bridge, 85/15 treble and bass pickups, finished in Violin Amber Sunburst, with nickel hardware. It appears the guitar in the photos has had modifications.
My guitar is Silver. No maple top, confirmed by chips on the top that show the dark mahogany underneath. Un-glueing a PRS maple top from a body is not exactly something I'd expect a luthier to do. I'd imagine the body was replaced. Plays like a freakin dream, looks totally like a factory job. I've got a good reference as I've played and owned many PRS guitars. I have no reason to suspect otherwise. However I wish I had a way to document officially with an email or something.
