    Replacing tuners on SE Custom

    Hi all,
    I am thinking of putting PRS locking tuners on my SE Custom 24 (pictured) but I was told by someone from my local music shop that I would need to drill new holes in the headstock. Does anyone know if this is the case and if not can I fit Phase II or III locking machine heads into my guitar?
    Thanks

    Actually direct replacements are grover 406c tuners. Just put them on my se24 and very easy to install

    I have yet to justify locking tuners for my SE Custom 24
    Just did a nit and it rings and chimes and stays tuned pretty well even with vibrato bar use
    Thinking Grovers better choice IMHO

    Gotoh Magnums are another alternative that are a direct drop in.

    Shaller M6 Locking, or Schaller M6 non locking. No drilling or any new screw holes needed!
