Hi
The head stock Paul Reed Smith signature gives the impression its an american custom 24
The pickups give the impression it is either an old C24 or the stock new style pick ups have been changed,
they could be HFS / ??? which were the early bridge / neck pups. or maybe just had the covers removed.
Newer pups where something like 57/06 , 59/08 with covers normally
Normally all the SE's I've seen have a little SE on the headstock this one doesn't ( I have 1 american & 5 SE different models )
The serial number would help with the year it was made.
The birds are the old style in the neck don't know the year they started putting the shaded type birds in, the ones in this neck are same as what was first used , I have a 25th aniv SE and one selling point was the guitar was same as the first production run supposedly including bird type.
The selector switch for the pup position is not a rotary , its a blade , so I think that was changed about 10 years ago.
don't know what the tell tale differance is between the SE and the S2
obviously goes with out saying there is a big difference in the price between an SE and an American, so if the guitar is being sold at an SE price tag its a bargain, but could be too true to believe, can you play it ?
If its cheap as chips and plays well its a no brainer, but if its American price bracket its a problem a lot more info needed.
