Typically 408s come with trem but this one is a very cool and hard to find stop tail version ! Pickups are the 408 set. Comes with original hard case.  Serial #215093

Small ding on back of body - in otherwise near excellent condition.

PRS 408 pickups were designed to extend the guitar’s tonal spectrum by narrowing the field of the bass pickup to increase its focus and widening the field of the treble pickup to increase its sound field (hence their asymmetric appearance). This pickup configuration (comprised of four coils and offering eight sounds) stems back to Paul’s experimentation on the Sorcerer’s Apprentice guitars in the early 1980’s. Thanks to the simple but versatile switching system featuring mini-toggle switches that provide numerous combinations of humbucking and singlecoil tones, the 408 Maple Top and Standard provide stunning articulation and musical clarity.

“We get phone calls [from session players] who say, ‘I picked up a [408-equipped] guitar, and I didn’t touch anything else—I didn’t need anything else,’” says Paul Reed Smith. “I’m not hearing anything except good feedback these days about what’s going on.”
