    Hey I need some help figuring out what this PRS is please, it looks like a PRS 22 custom 20th anniversary, but I'm far from familiar with the PRS brand...

    I certainly not a PRS expert but to my eye there´s something fishy about that guitar, especially the headstock and the decal. You need to find some bigger photos.

    That's not a PRS I'm afraid to inform you, it's a copy.

    All PRS guitars have the Paul Reed Smith signature as the logo on the headstock, and PRS on the trussrod cover

    A couple of models have had swirly designs on the headstock instead of the PRS signature but this one doesn't even say PRS. The body also looks wrong and, as far as I can see, the inlays are too.

    That is a total fake!

    The body is completely wrong - as is the spacing between the knobs.
    PRS do not use Wilkinson style trems
    PRS do not use Grover style machine heads
    PRS is spelled "PRS" and not "P Custom"
    And don't get me started on the headstock!!!

    Is someone trying to pass this off as a PRS Custom 20th Anniversary model?
