It requires an external service to host the pics. Photobucket is one among many where you can setup an account for free.

any idea of value?

yes, look at the EBay's sold listing for the same model and you'll get a good idea.

ap515 nailed it. looks like rosewood fingerboard aswell.

 

[randy]

yes rosewood and very nice thin profile. overall condition is played buy good. the owner is wanting to trade it for my 85 les paul gold top, i'm trying to find out how far off we are. i really want a P22 but this is a nice guitar.

 

[randy]

also wouldn't it be a 1993 with a ser # 160372?
ok maybe i looked at the list wrong so i guess it's a 2001.

 

[kevorkianMetal]

no. the first number (1) signifies the year, 2001. If it was an older 91 or 93, it would start with 91 or 93... the remaining numbers 60372 mean it it the 60,372 guitar ever made by PRS.

You've got the right idea but not quite correct on the year definition. The year is indeed the first digit in the sequence, but they didn't start using two digit year indicators until 2009. So there will be no 91 or 93. The 1 could be for 2001 or 1991. You have to look at the rest of the number which has the right magnitude to be in the 2001 timeframe.


Approximate Serial Numbers / Year
10101 - 12600 / 1991
52200 - 62199 / 2001
