Genuine PRS Direct-Replacement Locking Tuner Upgrade for Compatible PRS SE Guitars
Give your compatible PRS SE the convenience of locking tuners while keeping the clean, unmistakable appearance of genuine PRS hardware. This complete set of PRS-Designed Locking Tuners combines chrome tuner bodies with lightweight Ivory Wing buttons for a classic PRS look and a practical performance upgrade.
Available now at Northeast Music Center, these tuners are designed as a direct replacement for compatible PRS SE guitars already equipped with PRS-Designed tuners. For the player who wants faster string changes and genuine PRS fit and styling, this is an easy upgrade to consider.
The advantage of a locking tuner is simple: less time winding strings and more time playing.
The locking mechanism secures the string at the tuner post, greatly reducing the number of wraps normally required around the post. String changes become quicker and cleaner, making locking tuners particularly useful for gigging musicians, players who change strings frequently, and anyone who simply prefers the convenience of a locking system.
Because this set is designed by PRS for compatible SE instruments, you can add that functionality while maintaining the appearance and character of your PRS.
The distinctive Ivory Wing buttons immediately identify these as PRS hardware.
The Wing design traces its roots back to an original Paul Reed Smith drawing from 1982, with a shape inspired by the wingspan of the PRS bird inlay at the 12th fret.
Their lightweight construction is intentional as well. PRS developed the Wing button concept to reduce unnecessary tuner mass while providing a comfortable, secure surface for precise tuning.
The Ivory buttons paired with chrome tuner bodies give this version a particularly traditional PRS appearance that works beautifully with a wide range of SE finishes.
Using the locking mechanism is straightforward.
Feed the string through the tuner post, pull it snug, secure it with the locking mechanism, tune to pitch, and trim the excess string. With far fewer wraps around the post than a conventional tuner requires, restringing becomes considerably faster and neater.
For players who use a tremolo-equipped PRS SE, properly installed locking tuners can also help eliminate excess string wraps as one potential source of tuning inconsistency.
These tuners are designed as a direct replacement for PRS-Designed tuners on compatible PRS SE guitars, using the appropriate mounting footprint for those instruments.
These are not a direct replacement for PRS Vintage Style tuners.
PRS Vintage Style tuners use a different mounting-screw footprint. If your SE is equipped with Vintage Style tuning machines, do not assume this set will install as a modification-free replacement.
Not sure which tuners are currently on your guitar? Contact Northeast Music Center before ordering. We'd much rather help confirm compatibility first than have you discover after removing your existing tuners that you purchased the wrong set.
