What year PRS SE Santana? Hardtail or Tremolo Bridge?
- they are different depending on the year

The one with the tremolo arm. Not sure what year as I bought it used.
It looks exactly like the bottom photo.

You may have to slightly relocate the Bridge PU to create enough clearance for the FTP PU.

I did this on my Godin xtSA  -by removing the 4 screws on the PU mounting ring, then slide the Bridge PU 1/8" further away from the bridge, and re-drilling 4 new holes for the new location of the Bridge PU  - no wood routing required.

Sugar !

I was hoping I would get away without any fettling.

My Yamaha MSG Deluxe was the same. I had to cut the bottom of the PU mounting ring to get a GK2 in. I was lucky that I managed to replace it when I sold it.

The PRS is such a lovely wee guitar as is. So maybe I'll not bother.  :'(

Just had a thought.
I have a spare GK3A.
I could test it with that and compare measurements.....  :D

I just bit the bullet and bought one.
It was from Amazon, so could be sent back if it didn't fit.

To my amazement, it fits like a glove !  :o :D :D
