LeftyGuitarist1233 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hi, I'm new to the forums (this is my first post) so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place or something, but does anybody know how to date a PR-100? Also, can somebody give me some background on it? I bought one a couple of years ago for $50 at a music store and never really looked into it. From what I can tell it's a PR-100 M/NS, s/n 96090004, and it's full mahogany. I'm guessing '96 is the year it was made? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtufguy Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Your guitar was made in Korea September c.1996 Production Number: 0004 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ship of fools Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 First PR-100 was actually made in 97, they are all laminate, mahogany back/side, natural finish some also had a Ash top called the PR-100A.Ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igor Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Must be a popular used item these days. I just picked up a PR-100 on eBay, serial #G00090652. Any information would be appreciated. I didn't recognize the G prefix serial number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priorityandtype Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I will show you my new baby.. Although it's a 96 model, I was pretty surprised by the mint condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger11 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 that's a lovely looking guitar - has the finish been removed or is it just a light spray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priorityandtype Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 that's a lovely looking guitar - has the finish been removed or is it just a light spray? It's NS= natural Satin. I also love this kind of look in a guitar. I kind of hate the fake glossy shining colours they tend to use. Plus, NS it's supposed to sound better (don't know if it's really true) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuitarPlayer Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 That is a really nice looking guitar. I too like the satin finish. I bet it has a really nice tone to it too. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
