What year was my McCarty made?

[Mccarty2013]

I am not sure if my PRS was made in 2005 or 1995. Serial number is 050648. Also, what do all the numbers represent? Thank you all so much!

Actually I think it's a 2000 model

I am having a hard time understanding the difference between 1995 and 2005 s/n. I am pretty sure it is not a 2000...but would love to hear from other PRS experts out there. Thank you so much!

The first # is the year. A 1990, 2000 begin with a "0", followed by the rest of the serial #. That signifies the XXX # set neck guitar they've made. There is usually a slight gap between the first and other #s.

For example, I have a guitar made in 2000. It's serial # is 0 52XXX, meaning it's the 52XXXth set neck guitar, and it was made in 2000. So, your guitar, that's 0 50648 is right in line with that serial # range of that year.

In 2008, they began using an addition "0" at the beginning of the serial #, to avoid confusion with the 1990-99 guitars and the 1985-89 guitars. My 2008 guitars serial #s are in the 08 135XXX-140XXX range...

Hope this helps..

Thank you all very much. Are you sure it was made in 2000?

If you don't believe us you could always pop out the pickups, there will be a date (or 2) written under them
