Need help identifying a PRS

Serial: 2 15973

Found this guitar at an auction but something feels very strange about it. It's dirt cheap and i dont recognize the bridge. The bird inlay is not normal either.
Is this just a really old PRS with a swapped bridge and tuning pegs?

Appreciate the help!

It's definitely a "PRS style" guitar.

Stay away.

Something doesn’t feel right to me. I’d stay away.

The more I look, a lot of things don’t look right to me.

there is just so much strangeness to it. It looks like a Mcarty but those only came in 22 frets and this is 24.
The bird inlays are from the anniversary editions but the head doesnt have the markings for it.
The bridge is unlike anything ive ever seen on a PRS and the tuning pegs are replaced.
The serial prefix says its from 1992 but the following number says it should have been made in 1993.
It has 3 volume knobs when they usually come with 2 or 4.

Well i thank you all for shattering my dreams of finding a gem in a foreclosure auction, it's for the best

You’ve gained some knowledge about PRS guitars between your first 2 posts.

Sorry mate, the serial does not jive with the inlays.
It's all wrong, sorry.

PHO KNEE!

Serial number is wrong
Bridge is wrong
Inlays are wrong
Control recesses are wrong
Jack plate is wrong

But honestly these experiences are really good learning opportunities to start looking closely at the details and training the eye on what to expect from a genuine PRS.

This and all of the other posts that are saying it is fake. There are many things wrong with that guitar. The longer I looked the more I saw.

Just about everything is wrong.
