This is wild.....

An unfinished body that has a model number stamp, PRS-250

And "12" in marker. So is this one of at least 12?

It also has an "S" stamp which is something I see on many 90s model LS guitars.

S Stamp Code Marked Love Rocks

I have seen a phenomenon of Interesting models like the LC with the split diamond being made in 1985, then nothing, then they re-emerge in 1989/1990.



[Super rare] Tokai? PRS SANTANA copy body PRS-250 [unpainted]

Description of item​

This is a copy of PRS's SANTANA model.

It is probably an old Tokai product.

The top frame is made of solid wood, so it seems to have pretty good specs. The body back also looks like 1P.

The rear humbucker's zag has penetrated a little, but I don't think it will cause any problems in use.

Similar to the ones in the SS80, but you only have 2 anchor screws and they aren't drilled, so assuming not original.

Do you know where it came from?

I've tried to find where It was made or either what brand, but i haven't had any luck very rare brass Bridge.

Was that bridge in the guitar when you bought it?

I don’t think it’s original if it came with it.
 
No it's not the original Bridge, i installed It when i bought it. The guitar sounds better with this Bridge.
 
Ok. I didn’t see where you said that. What bridge was in it?
 
Looks like your original bridge is a lot like this one but yours only has 2 screw holes.

And maybe this one is similar and has 2 mounting screw holes?
