I guess I should know this but I'm not completely sure.

1. Why does my 2007 say "Custom Built for USA only?"
2. Why not on my 2008?
3. And then on the 2013?

Thanks in advance.
 
Steve is right on the why: the guitar does not have documentation to support crossing an international border.

As to the date, it is a 2007 because it was started then, but not finished until PRS policy started marking guitars containing Brazilian rosewood 'for USA only'
 
There was a small fortune in guitars (with Brazilian Rosewood) that was stashed around 2007. Complications related to CITES.

When the lawyers had finally managed a solid legal resolution with the powers that be, those guitars were finished (if not already complete). This, by the way, is where the NOS Modern Eagles came from. Those guitars, and many afterwards, received that verbiage on the back of the headstock.
