Serial

[Darrylbiscuit]

Hello everyone!

New to the forum here and new PRS owner, although I borrowed a friends way back in the mid1990s for a few years.

I just acquired a PRS in a trade deal, and I’m trying to identify the age. The guy I got it from said it was a Santana SE.

It is a set neck, no binding, and is marked as being made by World Musical Instrument Co., LTD, Korea.

Serial number is B08474.

I looked at the serial number page on the PRS site, and I think it’s a 2001, based
On the “B” prefix.

Am I right?

I’d also like to know what the specs were for this one.

Thanks for the confirmation (or correction).

Have you tried google for this info?

I have and feel like the year is solid, but have not seen much about pickups and other specs.

Thanksn

Did you try the Wayback machine?

I did, but maybe I don’t know how to use it since I didn’t find anything.

Thank you all for the info. I didn’t even think of chatgpt, and the web info helps.
