Ok thanks

That's a 1-off. You always see the "Gen" code on them.

Thanks

Your welcome. Omar does a lot of 1-off's, and I have quite a few. The letters after "GEN" are remarks. They might refer to the model or not. In this case, it looks like the guitar is a Custom 22. I have no idea what SN3 refers to. Three pick ups, perhaps?

It has 2 humbuckers, dragon I bridge and McCarty with coil tap.

And yes it's a custom 22, I'm curious as to what the finish is. I emailed serial to PRS and they said its from the artist stock warehouse. Didn't give any info on finish.

It's cool, whatever it is!

Nice tool. Got an addition for you - colour code CY is Cranberry

Hi, just to add my Custom 24 info. Instead of CU the code starts CM. I think it was a special run from 2010 with 10 top headstock. Everything else works fine.

Model: Could not find Model 'CM'
Top Wood: Maple
Frets: 24
Top Spec: Figured Maple
Top Grade: Ten Top
Neck Wood: Mahogany
Neck Carve: Pattern/Thin (Wide/Thin)
Fingerboard Wood: East Indian Rosewood
Inlay: Outline Birds (2008+)
Bridge: Tremolo or 2-Piece Bridge
Color: Burnt Almond
Hardware: Nickel
Treble Pickup: HFS Treble
Middle Pickup: none
Bass Pickup: Vintage Bass
Electronics: 3-Way Toggle or Blade

Hey rugerpc,
got something for you here
It includes all posts since you updated the JS the last time (except the last post by Scott C). So you can just copy/paste it onto the server and it should work (don't forget to change the link to the forum ).

Additionally to the update, I've removed the wood from the top spec ("Figured Maple" --> "Figured") as the top wood has got its own digits.
Fingerboard code "D" is "Unknown Rosewood" for now and color code "XR" is "Special Run" (there's "CC" for "Custom Color" BTW), as both doesn't seem 100% clear.

There are some small "problems" however:
- 2014 and 2016-spec guitars are using inlay code "6", so I've added "Birds (2014+)" although 2015-spec guitars were using code "7" for "30th Anniv. Birds" (See my Avatar as an example of a 2016 Screech Owl. It's kinda outlined MOP, but they go as "Birds" on the PRS website.)
- 85/15 use the same code as 250 pickups ("5"), so it's "85/15 or 250" now. A MODCAT using 58/15 would be interesting...

I hope I didn't miss anything!

Cheers

It's stonkin', whatever it is.

A bit more info on the CM code on mine from PRS support:

Hi Scott,


Thank you for writing to Paul Reed Smith Guitars. It appears you have a Custom 24 in Burnt Almond, the CM would indicate a Custom with a Maple headstock veneer. I believe there were 50 produced worldwide.


Thank you for your continued support of Paul Reed Smith Guitars. I hope you find this information helpful.
