PRS Tuners

[Diverdan]

Hi Shawn,
I just picked up one of those GC Throwbacks, which of course have the winged tuners (which are ok, but I prefer the performance and look of Phase 2 or Phase 3 tuners). This is the answer to one of my prayers! I'll be setting up an appointment in the spring to have these done, as well as swapping out the sweet switch for the McCarty electronics.
Thanks!
Danny

Great idea but I too like the winged collars.

Sounds good Danny, I look forward to hearing from you

Hey Shawn, what are the little cotter pin/ compression washers for keeping the wings on the winged tuners called, and are they available for sale through PRS? I don't know if they are different sizes for the two versions, so this would be for the second non shared D&G type.

Thanks, you are the best!

Hi Serg,

They are E clips, but I don't know the size off the top of my head. I can find out tomorrow. We don't carry them any longer at PRS since we've been using the Phase II's and now Phase III's for over 10 years. Let me check on the size when I get to work on Monday.

Thank you Shawn, I'd really appreciate it.

Wow Shawn, thank you so much!!!

I'm late to the party, but my used '09 custom has those tuners on it. Anybody know if that was an upgrade or did it come with them?

(I'm a PRS sponge lol. I don't know anything about my guitar)

Just when I think the customer service can't get any better...BAM! Another ratchet up.

Hmmm...
Hey Shawn, do you guys modify the existing tuners or is it possible to keep my old tuners and buy a set of these? I'm kind of a stickler for having the original parts for my '96 whether the parts are in use or not.

We would need to modify the existing tuners.

Maybe time to start searching for another set of winged/shared screw.

I wonder if all you need is a set of Schaller M6 tuners? Might be easier and cheaper to find.

I actually have a set of Sperzels on it now. Back when it was my only guitar, I couldn't change a string quick enough in poor lighting conditions so I made the change. I've been wanting to put it back in a more "stock" type look. That's why this thread grabbed my attention. Ideally, if I could buy a set without modding my original, that'd be the best route for me.
