Caveat: Keep your old back screws handy because the new ones may not fit. I did the exact same installation and the screws that PRS included were too small. They wouldn't bite and would fall out if turned upside down. Apparently, this is quite common as some YT content creators have warned about this and MANY commentators have had the same experience.
My locking tuners are arriving today. Once I had a guitar with locking tuners I never want to go back lol. Will be ordering a set for each of my guitars eventually.
PRS SE quite a nice guitar for the money, i think PRS SE custom24 really great choice for beginner's second guitar,lot of beginner playing strat , but want slightly fancier without bust the bank, SE way cheaper than PRS, but still got the PRS quality,especially the finish.
You gotta block the tremelo with card stock, or you're gonna scratch the top! Also you should use a socket instead of a flat wrench so you don't scratch the headstock.
Thank you so much.. Always come up with a very useful and interesting content....i have many channels in my subscription list but this is the best of all❤️❤️❤️👍👍
Wow and you didn't even line up the tuners with a straight edge. This is embarrassing dude, not a good example. Y'all should watch the video from PRS on how to do this install.
I just purchased a PRS SE about two weeks ago. I had it set up by the best luthier in Orlando and the open strings are all in tune. However, whenever I fret the D and G strings the notes are always sharp. I use a very light touch and they are still sharp. Do you have any thoughts on this?
If it's a tremolo bridge I'd adjust the saddle height and length. I'm not a pro by any means, but that usually works for me. Also, what luthier did you use in Orlando? I just recently moved back and am looking for a quality luthier.
Your really should have blocked off the trem bridge before removing the strings and all the tension. Also, these tuners really do need to be aligned perfectly before tightening everything down. And I would have used a socket instead of an open end wrench, less chance of scratching anything.

I just got my PRS SE locking tuners in the mail today! What a coincidence haha

Do it improve tuning stability?
PRS makes some beautiful guitars, even in their budget lines. Gibson would charge 3000 for that top alone.

Glad you brought it up. I had the exact same two concerns.
Wow. Nice guitar.
I love the Kermit green color.
Locking tuners is a nice upgrade.
Hope you are doing well Dane. 👍
The PRS se series are great guitars, for the money I like that green Zimms .
He never lined up the back of the tuners or block the trem so it doesn't hit the body!
Yes, I noticed that as well. He should have looked at the PRS tech videos before doing this one.
Thank you so much..

PRS makes some beautiful guitars.
The backing track sounds awesome whoever composed it 👍
It's from one of the best games ever made. Rimworld
Do you have any locking tuners for a '77 Hamer Explorer or Gibson Explorer?
Sorry i do not.

@@adamstrachn EFG Guitars in Altamonte Springs.
@@roberthurless4615 I really appreciate that. I'm in Winter Springs so that's not far at all.
@@adamstrachn EFG Guitars is what The Guitar Factory used to be. Billy is there with his son in a vape shop.
I have the exact same guitar and would like to do the same thing! Do you have a link to the locking tuners that you put in by chance? Thanks!
will Grover 406C Mini Locking Rotomatic Tuners be okay without any drilling?
@5:48 how did ya get two left hands? And 5:57 kinda creeps me out also.
Hello! could you say which model of locking tuners you bought?
How do these compare to John Mann's MannMade locking tuners? Those run about $150+ (pending on finish) vs PRS at around $100.
Well the PRS don't cost as much!!
@@ZIMMSGUITARS haha well yea, I'm wondering beyond that if anyone has input. Maybe there isn't any?
They’re good, I have other guitars with different brands (ratios, hipshot) and they do the job just as well!
