What model PRS hollowbody is this?

[lower7]

I have a chance to trade for this guitar. The fellow that owns the guitar told me he got it in a trade and does not know the model or anything about it.

Is it American made? What is the value on the used market?

Thanks!

That doesn't look like a legit PRS to me. The tuning keys are all wonky on the back of the headstock, the body carve is all wrong, truss rod cover isn't right (although, that is easily swapped out). Also, I don't think I've ever seen a two piece bridge on a double-cut hollow body.

Looks like a Chinese knock-off to me.

I'm sure others will chime in.

Thanks!

I have never owned a PRS.

That looks like Gibson hardware. Grover tuners, Gibson bridge and stop tail, even Gibson speed knobs. I'm not a PRS expert, but Ive been researching PRS hollowbodys of late. I havent seen one quite like that.

Thanks Jmartin!

I checked eBay Completed Listings and Google images before posting here and couldn't find anything similar.

I don't want to make a mistake trading my Fender American Deluxe Strat for a guitar I don't know anything about.

THAT IS FAKE IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE BLINDFOLDED. FAKE. DONE.

That guitar is a fake. And not even a very good one.

If you trade for or buy this guitar, you still won't have a PRS!

Definitely not a Genuine PRS. Just about everything on it is inconsistent with the real deal!
As a "Fake" PRS (most likely Chinese), it's worth only what you'll willing to pay for it! If the pickups are actual Seymour Duncans, they may be worth a few bucks on the used market alone.
However, if you're looking to get a real PRS....this is not it!!

Fixed it for you. I'm not even counting on the pups being authentic SD.

I have 2 Hollowbody guitars - I would steer clear of this one, like all the others have mentioned

Didn't someone post a tread warning about this fake?

I am ever amazed at just how bad the fakes are.

 

[rugerpc]

The good fakes bother me more...

Yes - There is another thread on this guitar and conclusion was the same - It is a fake.
