    The SE Hollowbody II is a genuinely hollow PRS, warmer and more resonant than the solid-body SE range, and light enough to notice strapped on. Like the SE 245, it uses a PRS Adjustable Stoptail wraparound bridge, and PRS's own forum discussions note post spacing on some Hollowbody models may differ from the standard SE stoptail spacing, so this needs measuring on the specific guitar rather than assumed to match.

    Not published by PRS: string spacing, tuner hole size and bridge mounting spacing. Measure these before buying tuners or a bridge.

    Watch out

    PRS's own forum discussion flags that this model's stoptail bridge spacing, sometimes called "594 spacing," may differ from the standard PRS SE spacing shared by other SE models. This has not been independently resolved, so treat exact bridge string spacing as unconfirmed rather than assuming it matches other SE guitars.

    PRS Genuine PRS Adjustable Stoptail Bridge

    Needs verification

    This guitar uses the same style of bridge, but there's an unresolved question about whether the exact spacing matches on this specific hollowbody model. The mounting studs on this genuine PRS part are also sized for Core guitars, not SE, so they may need swapping.

    Why we say this

    The SE Hollowbody II uses a PRS Adjustable Stoptail bridge, but PRS's own forum has raised that this specific hollowbody may use different stud spacing from the standard SE stoptail, and that has never been resolved. Separately, this is a genuine PRS Core part, and Core studs are a different size from SE hardware regardless of how the spacing question turns out.

    TonePros Locking Tune-O-Matic & Tailpiece Set (Chrome)

    Needs verification

    Why we say this

    This model's stoptail bridge spacing is flagged by PRS's own forum as potentially different from other PRS SE models, so an exact match to this locking retrofit part has not been independently confirmed.

    Suhr Thornbucker Humbucker Set

    Needs verification
    Soldering

    A well regarded humbucker, but some owners report it running wide for PRS SE-spec routes. Worth confirming fit before ordering.

    Why we say this

    Player reports describe Suhr's Thornbucker as physically wider than PRS SE-spec humbucker spacing in some cases, potentially requiring pickup ring or route adjustment.

    Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker Set 6-String Black

    Requires modification
    SolderingRouting

    This is an active pickup set that needs a 9V battery inside the guitar, a bigger job than a passive pickup swap.

    Why we say this

    Active pickup set requiring a 9V battery mounted in the guitar. Not just a pickup swap, needs a battery cavity that may not already exist on this model.
