PRS SE Standard 22: any mod for 2017? Serial number question

[Leandro Diana]

Hi guys, two questions about current production SE Standard 22.
1) has this model been upgraded in anything with the 2017 lineup? It seems it's not...
2) my serial number is preceded by the letters "IB": how can I date it? I just bought it new, and it's perfect, but I wanted to know if is of the latest productipn or is a kind of "new old stock".

Thanks!
L.

In general 2017 SE come with a new logo by wearing PRSh autograph on the headstock.

SE Standard are made in Indonesia therefore the exception proofs the rule by the serial.

The year identification of SE (Korean made) continues with
P = 2015
Q = 2016
R = 2017

Thanks. But IB results still not datable...

 

[Maertl513]

For sure. I checked the internet and noticed a few other forum´s posts and threads. That said: All SE Standard serials start with IB.
My recommendation is to call PRS customer service for more qualified info concerning the production year.

My se standard serial number begins with IA. I think it is a 2015 model

Thanks!
You know what? It makes sense... I read that Standards 22 were (re?) introduced in 2015. So I stands for Indonesia, and A stands for the first year from release.
So mine could be a 2016 made...
