PRS Guitars are in several categories ranging from entry level to high-end professional level. Here is a brief explanation of the tiers within the lines of PRS Guitars.
$ PRS SE - This is the entry level PRS guitar manufactured at $the PRS factory in Indonesia operated by Cor-Tek World Instruments. These electric guitars typically feature all solid woods (mahogany, maple, ash, swamp ash, etc) with a variety of violin carves. Most PRS SE guitars are solid wood instruments with a laminate top. The hardware and electronics are manufactured and assembled overseas. These instruments are exceptional beginner instruments built to a high standard for quality. Gig bag included.

$$$ PRS Bolt-On - The Bolt-On category captures several guitar lines from PRS including the Silver Sky, Fiore, Myles Kennedy, NF53, and many other models. These are made in the Stevensville factory and typically feature USA build with USA electronics and import hardware, though some Bolt-On models do offer USA hardware, we well. Gig bag included.
$$$$ PRS Core - This is the Core line of instruments that made PRS guitars famous. There is no expense spared in developing the best possible instrument that can be engineered while still being a visual masterpiece to behold. Core guitars are made in the USA with USA components and include a Hard Case of varying degrees of excellence. Below is a short list of levels within the Core and beyond.
$$$$$ PRS Core 10-Top - This is a guitar whose top has higher grade flame/quilt that covers the top of the instrument with little to no dead spots. The headstock overlay is typically Ebony and the hardware is typically hybrid nickel/gold.

$$$$$$ PRS Core Wood Library - These guitars are made with a specifically chosen top wood from the PRS Wood Library. These can be non-10 top, 10-Top, or Artist Grade depending on the Wood Library order specifications. There is no marking specifically on the guitars for Wood Library, but can often be found on the hang tag.
$$$$$$$ PRS Core Artist Package - This is a discontinued level of top that was above a 10-Top. These guitars typically featured hybrid hardware and an Artist Paisley Hard Case. Artist package guitars do not have a "10" or any other designation on them, but they are often easy to tell by the eye in how rich and full the top is without a 10-top designation.
$$$$$$$$ PRS Private Stock - This is the elite realm of PRS guitars. Private stock guitars are custom ordered instruments to the order specifications, which includes many off-catalog colors, woods, inlays, hard cases, and other options.
