What year / specs is this lefty PRS

[Brazosguitar]

I bought this PRS a few years ago and they said it was a 2004 and that it has Vintage Bass / HFS pickups. I am the person listing it... now thinking it is a 2000, according to the PRS website Year Identification.

Any help appreciated. There aren't many years of lefty runs... and I have never seen a left handed PRS with stock Vintage Bass / HFS pickups... I haven't taken them out to verify, but guess I could... thought some aficionados might be able to help me though.... hate to let her go.... sigh....

That is definitely a 2000 guitar. Serial number matches up. Also, a defining feature from about '99-'01 is the black plastic tuner buttons.

I think a typical CU22 would have gotten Dragon II pickups (which are covered) by then. I forget when they changed over from the uncovered Dragon I set, but it's very possible this lefty was different and got HFS/VB. You can get a better idea if you have a multimeter and share the resistance values. Or of course you could pop the pickups out real quick to be sure.

That's a good looking guitar. I'd be sorely tempted to take it off your hands, if I hadn't just picked up a CU 22...
