I noticed that listing only goes up through 2006, so here's some additional information that will help to ID the year going forward: Some time during 2008 PRS started using a '08' instead of an '8' on the serial numbers. For example, I just got in my first PRS in about 4 years - a KL1812. It has the '08' on the serial number (although it didn't leave the factory until early January 2009). In looking at some guitars on a few websites I've found 2008s with both the '8' and the '08', so I don't know when they made the change; all 2009s have the '09'.

Greetings and Hello, I've been trying to identify the date of an early PRS CE 24 model serial number 173172. I've done my research and have come up. I think for now that he is going to check the bulletin board down by the mailbox. PRS hand writes their serial numbers on the headstock, which.
Dear Axe Central. I have been doing my research on PRS serial numbers pre factory etc but i am at a bit of a loss.
I do collect guitars mostly acoustic, Taylor etc however i live in Qatar in the Middle east, and last saturday the local Rugby Club here raffles off guitars (please this is not a joke), i bought one raffle ticket which cost me around 8 dollars and won the guitar. Its a red maple (i think) and from what ive read its from 1992 pre factory. Now this guitar is nice, but its really not my thing. Just wondered if theres any experts on PRS that may be able to shed a bit of history on this guitar. There was no case with the guitar but i have a few photos, thanks Rich. Hi thank you very much for your reply.
Ive just taken some better photos attached, theres no bolt on neck, glued or through maybe, there are a couple of things that dont quite ring true. The PRS signature at the top some of it looks missing 2.
After a lengthy 2 hrs of research! I have determined that the date may well be 1992 however approximate dates on some websites state that 15001 to 17001 is 1993 however the serial number is clearly marked 2 15799 3. Grover tuners are these normal? Not sure on model name but it maybe comparing to others a Custom 22? Very sorry for the vagueness not an expert on electrics by any stretch of the imagination The guitar is near mint condition, but came without a case. Thanks for your time, i look forward to your reply, regards Rich.
Hi, i emailed PRS and this is the reply, are you still able to help RE valuation of said guitar? Thaanks in advance, regards Rich Hi Rich, Thank you for writing PRS Guitars. Unfortunately our database is somewhat limited in the information it provides for older models and I only have a few specs for your guitar. It does appear to be a Custom 22 with a maple “10” top in a Black Cherry finish with Dragon pickups. It was more than likely made in late ’92 so it could make the lineup and ship in ’93. I hope you find this information helpful. Thank you for your continued support of PRS Guitars.
