The SE Custom 24 Left-Handed is PRS's flagship SE model, the 24-fret double-cut shape that started the whole PRS lineage. It uses a cast tremolo shared across the CE, S2 and SE tiers, distinct from PRS Core USA hardware, so genuine Core parts and trem arms won't fit without checking the tier first. This listing shows 85/15 S pickups, while the right-handed SE Custom 24 shows TCI S pickups, likely a production-year difference worth confirming before treating both as identical.
Tailpiece
None (bridge-integrated)
String spacing

PRS's tremolo is a patented design, and left-handed replacements are rarer still. This is a short list because the market is small, not because we haven't looked.
A tone upgrade that fits inside your existing bridge, no modification needed. This is the genuine left-handed version, correctly built rather than a reversed right-handed part.
A genuine left-handed trem block that drops into this guitar's own factory bridge assembly, no modification required, fattening the tone without needing a full bridge swap.
A genuine left-handed tremolo bridge built for this guitar's tier, not mirrored hardware. Direct fit, no modification needed.
This is a genuine left-handed tremolo bridge, a direct retrofit for tremolo-equipped SE, CE, and S2 tier PRS guitars including this one, not mirrored right-handed hardware. Does not fit PRS Core USA Gen III bridges, the same tier restriction that applies to the right-handed version of this bridge.
Fits the standard humbucker route this guitar's stock pickups sit in. A more vintage-leaning alternative to a higher-output pickup like the JB. You will need to solder it in.
The stock 85/15 "S" pickups are standard-size humbuckers in a standard route, so this fits the cavity. PRS-style humbucker pole pieces are individually adjustable rather than magnet-staggered, so this does not carry the handedness-specific risk vintage single-coils do.
Fits the standard humbucker route this guitar's stock pickups sit in. You will need to solder it in. Since this guitar has a tremolo bridge, the F-spaced (Trembucker) version of this pickup may line up better under your strings, worth checking before you buy.
The stock 85/15 "S" pickups are standard-size humbuckers in a standard route, so this fits the cavity. Not affected by handedness for the same reason as this guitar's other pickup option. This guitar's tremolo puts string spacing right around the threshold where Seymour Duncan themselves recommend the wider Trembucker spacing over standard spacing for correct pole-to-string alignment. The two spacing versions are not listed separately, worth checking before buying.

View at AndertonsThis is an active pickup set that needs a 9V battery inside the guitar, so it's a bigger job than a passive pickup swap, you may need a new cavity cut for the battery.
Active pickup set requiring a 9V battery mounted in the back of the guitar, not just a pickup swap. Needs a battery cavity that may not already exist on this model. Not affected by handedness, the cavity requirement applies regardless of which way the guitar faces.

View at AndertonsA common fix for tuning stability on this guitar. Owners report these go in without any drilling, and this style of tuner works the same for left and right-handed guitars.
Confirmed via direct PRS forum owner reports as fitting the SE without reaming. This is a 3-per-side headstock, and standard 3-per-side tuner sets are not handedness-specific the way 6-in-line sets are, so this is not expected to carry a different result than the right-handed version.

View at AmazonThese are genuine PRS parts, but fit varies. Some owners get a clean fit reusing existing hardware, others need to ream holes and drill new ones. Budget for possible modification work.
Genuinely mixed owner reports on the right-handed version of this guitar: some installs reuse the stock bushings cleanly, others need reaming and new mounting holes. This is a 3-per-side headstock, and standard 3-per-side tuner sets are not manufactured as separate left and right-handed SKUs the way 6-in-line sets are, so the same mixed-results pattern is expected to apply here regardless of handedness.
