PRSGuitars SE Locking Tuners Set of 6, Chrome (106297::C:003)

Super simple to install makes a huge difference.

Not necessary, but nice to have.

Excellent fit

These are absolutely excellent locking tuners.Doing the swap is a breeze, you just need a 10mm socket (just the socket), and a small Philips screwdriver.Because of the clever design, there is no noticeable weight increase at all. The ingenious locking mechanism is just a small knurled screw on each tuner that you turn with your fingers.

These are great and good quality tuners. Kind of a pain to put in, but the PRS guide wasn't very good. If I get them again, it should be much easier.

First, the one bad:As others have mentioned, the screws that come with the kit are of the WRONG diameter. It isn't a big deal, but remember to keep your old screws and reuse them.The GOOD!They go in very easily, and man do they work! I immediately found that the tuning stability was drastically improved.I installed these on a 2017 PRS SE Custom 24. I also replaced my strings with #9 (which is the stock weight on the SE) nanoweb coated strings.I was having issues with my guitar falling out of tune badly every time I moved it from home to practice. Then, while at practice, tuning would fall out after the first few songs.Note: I have ALREADY replaced the standard nut with a bone nut from Tusk. I had hoped that this would fix the tuning problems, but it did not.

If you're a proud owner of a PRS SE guitar, these tuners are a perfect fit with no need for modifications. They perform exceptionally well, and the locking feature makes restringing a breeze, taking just minutes—even if you're not a seasoned DIY tech like me. A heads up for those not in the know, locking tuners won't magically improve your guitar's tuning stability unless you're replacing faulty or low-quality ones. What they do is streamline the restringing process, letting you get back to playing much faster. 10 out of 10, would buy again.

Fantastic tuners, installed easily, one thing that I found when I installed these on my new SE NF3 is that the screws that came with these tuners were slightly too small for the holes that were drilled into the headstock, so I ended up re-using the screws from the original non locking tuners. Otherwise, easy install, wonderful upgrade to an awesome guitar.
