Help with identifying a PRS?

[Andreas Kloefverskjoeld]

Hi,

new to the forum but have been a fan of PRS guitars for a long time. Came across a guitar for sale but I'm not an expert on PRS guitars and was wondering if there is a listing of all PRS models with images to help identifying this one.

Seems to be a mandolin(?) body shape?

If I remember correctly it’s a model that was made for Dweezil Zappa. This may be a Private Stock model.

Do you have any more pics?

It does indeed look like a Dweezil model.
That said there's something funky with the headstock, and there doesn't look to be the normal sunken control wells.

Be wary.

I think @dmatthews is right. The headstock is off, so is the top carve and the bridge isn’t right either.

This may be a Far East copy.

Yup, looks to be a bit off.

Looks like a fake Dweezil...

A Chinese knock off, cost about $300 direct from china

The bridge is a dead give away, along with the other mentioned details. Yuck!

 

[Warmart]

Definitely not a PRS - like others said, that bridge is like nothing I've seen!

 

[bodia]

Yikes! Fake as fake gets

 

[RickP]

It’s a Da-Weasel model.

Pass…

Except exactly not that.

The guitar the OP posted links to is clearly a fake. Sooooo many things wrong with it.

Yup, that and the Chinese pickup rings and the funky headstock….Run

What price is being asked for it ?

Might be a copy, but it does look "interesting"

And who is selling it ? Return privileges' ?

The cutouts do look a bit funky though (treble side)

EDIT After looking at pics of the original ... Yeah its a copy. If priced like a Harley Benton ? Maybe try it

Priced like a rare PRS ? Expose the dog selling it ...
