Another 2004 Tokai prs style

[VMS]

Picked up another one, vendor description PR90 but have another same year 2004 and its model is meant to be LR40 both guitars very similar.PR90 Green,LR40 blue are these the actual model numbers .both have same head stocks,tuners,bridge etc

Just curious if you have opened them up and seen a stamp in one of the cavities saying the model number?

This is what I salvaged from the web re: the 2003 NAMM show announcing these guitars.

The headstock changed within a year so as not to upset PRS apparently.

Yours has the second generation headstock.
