![]() To match the sides on both our review guitars, the neck is painted opaque black, so we can’t tell if it’s a one-piece or not. ![]() Here we have PRS’s Wide Fat profile, glued into a large neck block. The body might feel different but the mahogany neck is an old friend. There's a very subtle shimmer on the pearloid bird inlays, too, definitely more subtle than other bird inlay details used by PRS This is in keeping with the more acoustic-like construction style we see here. ![]() There are kerfed linings to provide enough gluing surface for the top and back to be attached to what are relatively thin sides. These SEs are unusual for laminated hollowbodies in that there is no top bracing, but they do feature additional block support – approximately 22mm thick – under the top between the aforementioned bridge block and the end of the neck. The full-width neck forms the heel and this slots in nicely under the neck pickup cavity. As for the block, which is visible through the f-holes, it is quite clearly a separate piece of wood that looks very much like maple. Both the SE models have the adjustable style. There is, however, a small block positioned under the bridge, connecting the top to the back and allowing PRS to fit its Stoptail bridge. Unlike an ES-335, the Hollowbody is exactly that you won't find a center block here. The Standard uses a five-ply mahogany that you can see at the edges of the unbound f-holes. The primary difference between the two SE Hollowbody guitars is the wood used for the top and back. ![]()
