Is this a Legit PRS SE??

[Christian Torres]

Hi! I am new to this forum but I came for a reason. I've been wanting a PRS and I finally got the opportunity to buy a PRS SE Custom 22. For me it's a pretty good price but I've never had a PRS. So can you guys check if it's a fake? I'd really appreciate it!

Looks legit. The volume/tone knobs aren't original SE, I think, but don't care.

However: It's the wrong way how the three unwound strings wind around the tuning pegs. This is not PRS style.

legit. weeeeird stringing on the G,B,E strings. easy fixed.

I was going to call it a fake until I realised the owner just really shouldn't be allowed to restring guitars

Looks like an SE to me... I was not aware they did dots though? Maybe an older model? What does the ad say about its age?

You can acquire a serial number and run it by PRS I am pretty sure

Looks legit.

Nothing more than a bad re-string.

Those are “moon” inlays. The crescent shape mirrors the curve of the cutouts on both the headstock and the body.

Agree with all so far. That's an original SE Custom 22 from the late '00's.

Yea it's an SE. The ad says it's a 2010-ish PRS but I looked for serial numbers and the H is 2007 if I'm not wrong. It's an older model for sure!

Yep, looks legit, with horrible string job on GBe.

Very true! Thanks!

The string job isn't really horrible, it's just wrong and easily fixed.

Yepp, just looks like one of the older flat top SE Customs. I'm not a fan; I much prefer the slight curve of the newer SEs (which is weird because I love T type guitars)

Has anyone seen fake SE’s for sale. I can’t imagine there would be a lot out there
