Direct-Replacement Locking Tuner Upgrade for Compatible PRS SE Guitars
Upgrade your compatible PRS SE with genuine PRS-Designed locking tuners featuring PRS's distinctive lightweight Wing buttons. This complete set of six gives players the convenience of a locking tuner while maintaining the clean look, balance, and design language of PRS hardware.
Available at Northeast Music Center, these tuners are designed as a direct replacement for compatible PRS SE guitars already equipped with PRS-Designed tuners, making them an excellent upgrade for players who want quicker string changes and the security of a locking tuner without unnecessarily modifying their instrument.
Locking tuners are one of those upgrades you appreciate every time you restring your guitar.
The locking mechanism secures the string at the tuner post, reducing the amount of string wrapping required around the post and making string changes quicker and cleaner. For players who perform regularly, change strings frequently, or simply prefer the convenience of locking tuners, this is an extremely practical upgrade.
Because these are PRS-Designed tuners, they also maintain the visual character of the instrument rather than adding an aftermarket component that looks out of place on the headstock.
The Wing button shape isn't simply decorative. Paul Reed Smith originally drew the design in 1982, and PRS designed its shape to visually echo the bird inlay found at the 12th fret.
The lightweight construction is also intentional. PRS states that reducing tuner-button weight helps maximize the energy generated by the vibrating strings, while the shape provides a secure feel under the fingers for precise tuning.
With their black Wing buttons and chrome tuner bodies, this set gives your PRS SE a distinctive factory-style appearance.
These tuners are designed as a direct replacement for PRS-Designed tuners found on compatible PRS SE guitars.
That makes them an especially attractive upgrade because guitars equipped with the correct PRS-Designed tuner footprint do not require you to start drilling new mounting holes simply to gain locking functionality.
Important: These are not a direct replacement for PRS Vintage Style tuners. Vintage Style tuners use a different mounting-screw footprint. If your PRS SE currently has Vintage Style tuners, these should not be considered a modification-free replacement.
If you're unsure whether these tuners fit your particular PRS, contact Northeast Music Center before ordering and we'll be happy to help determine compatibility.
