PRS ce24 fake or real?

[halfmoonman]

Hi I'm about to buy my first prs which I'm very excited about, its a ce24 1998 but id like some help please.
The guitar I'm looking at seems to have different machine heads than what i see on most prs guitars,
which got me thinking is it a fake.
not sure how to put up photos so gonna leave a link a to the advert.

It's real...Promise.

It's real. The tuners have been replaced and the set up is all jacked up, but the guitar is a genuine PRS.

 

[halfmoonman]

Cheers, he says he never changed the tuners.
yeah the set up looks a little odd alright!
Its a long drive to pick it up so cheers for help.

Dude must've really needed some up-trem action...

 

[halfmoonman]

Yeah its a bit mad alright!
He got back to me saying the tuners were replaced by original owner to grover.
Clears that up.

you can see the small screw holes have been filled on the back of the headstock

 

[halfmoonman]

Does this model have push pull for coil splitting?
Most ce 24s i see have a rotary knob.

What did I promise? I drink a lot.

Absolutely immaculate? It could be blessed by the pope or played by Jesus himself, but "immaculate" and this bridge setup are mutually exclusive. If that's not a sin cast from the pits of hell direct from Satan himself, I don't know what is. :evil:
