I think the majority of us are of the opinion either way that Locking Tuners are a definite upgrade - and it’s great that they’re more accessible now - they should really be an option when you buy the guitars! But perhaps that is asking too much, we’re delighted that they are finally available. The science of string tension/slack supports my view, but even those who don’t believe in the extra tuning stability cannot argue that locking tuners do not make for easier string changes. I have always been a big advocate for locking tuners on all guitars (if possible vs price point) which in my opinion aids tuning stability and makes for far quicker and easier string-changes. ![]() ![]() In any case Paul has finally yielded to the polite and gentle pressure of repeated suggestions and personal representations - and seen fit to release his own exact SE Locking Tuner replacements - available now for a very fair $95 - at least on the US PRS Accessories store - I’m pretty sure they will soon be in stock on this side of the pond too. I always felt though that it was short-sighted of PRS not to offer its own after-market replacements - to make it easier for its customers to upgrade - and to ensure more revenue stayed in-house. Players like myself have had to buy locking tuners from different brands that fit the SE’s without alterations - my own brand of choice has been Schaller, but I would also consider GraphTech Ratio Tuners as high quality replacements - in fact there are actually a number of really decent options/alternatives. The current Core Line Phase II/III tuners have a much wider barrel/bore which could not be accommodated by the existing narrower tuner holes of the SE’s without significant alterations (drilling!). I have mentioned several times on this blog - my surprise that PRS did not offer direct replacement locking tuners for its SE Line of guitars - which have been in production now since 2005.
