This is a 2003 PRS McCarty Hollow Body I with factory installed 57/08 pickups.  The pickups were installed in 2009.  The guitar was sent back to the factory for the pickup installation.  This was a $500 upgrade plus shipping cost.  These pickups blend very well with the acoustic piezo system and sound wonderful.  The factory also installed the mini toggle to coil tap the pickups.  The flame 10 Top is amazing.  It sounds and plays just as amazing.  Obviously the 57/08 pickups sound incredible.  The mini toggle offer some wonderful single coil tones.  All of this in combination with the piezo system provide an endless combination of tone.  The acoustic piezo system sounds better then most acoustic guitar preamps.  The moon inlays are beautiful and set this guitar apart from others with birds.   This guitar is in excellent condition with light scratches from playing.  In addition, there is a repaired chip on the back upper edge.  It's not a perfect repair, which would be a refin, but a much better improvement then the chip.  Please see pictures.  Otherwise there are no deep scratches, no worming, no divots, or other chips.  
Comes with original hard shell case.  The case is in good condition with signs of use.  I am the original owner and purchased new in 2003 from Cave Creek Guitar in Cave Creek, AZ
