Don't think this is a DGT/408 hybrid. LoL, although I've never felt a DGT neck if that was the only thing DGT.
Fretboard looks more like the advertised pernambuco than cocobolo(my 594 has it).

I don't suspect ANY foul play AT ALL!
Unless Paul Reed Smith or one of his prized luthiers did it, this thing looks like the day it came off the factory floor. Having ordered my ChineseRS experiment spec'd out (it's decent faking) and having SE's, and S2's, this is above the average core crafting. And that top... Sweet Jesus, that top..........
My speculation is that there may have been occasional confusion with Experience Private Stocks... Or at least this one.
Would love to have the paper, but I'd rather have this guitar and case any day over the paper. No doubt where this guitar was produced!!!
