So to be clear, I wasn’t the original owner. This was a true player guitar with plenty of miles on it. I handed it off to the PTC during a consult at the factory. It was either Matt or Shawn that I spoke to. I forget because I’ve had PTC work performed multiple times. It didn’t sound like...

Just seeing this. I have a '95 CE-22 that I could not set up properly. The PTC confirmed that that it needed a shim. They did the job and it turned out great.

I personally don't care, especially when buying used or open box.. Believe it or not, though, that I had a seasoned GC rep tell me that having the tag/candy for trade-ins of PRS can mean up to $50 more in value. PRS fans looking to buy used value it that much.

I installed these in a Zach Myers. I believe the original tuners were the same as the stock Bernie tuners. Easy installation and they worked fine. No affiliation: http://www.philadelphialuthiertools.com/tuning-machines/gotoh-sd90-locking-kluson-style-3-x-3-guitar-tuners-nickel/

Glad to help!

Black Schallers do exist, FYI: http://www.warmoth.com/Schaller-Mini-Locking-Tuners-C726.aspx

A bottle of Naphtha, or even Ronsonol lighter fluid, will do the trick. Condoned by folks at the PRS factory, BTW.

I own 2 CE's, '95 and '08. This past weekend, I tried a new one at the GC Fenway/Boston store. I thought it felt like a quality Maryland made PRS CE. The tuners were great, and the trem was very smooth. I would absolutely buy one, probably will.

Yes, there is one option I've found and used. Look for Schaller model 7502 or 7502A. Those are a drop in fit and work fine. Keep in mind, however, that you or your tech will need to file down the mounting holes for the shared screw on the D and G tuners. PRS used to do this themselves. FYI...

Excellent! Glad it worked out. As you might have guessed, I dealt with the same issue. Best, Izzy

Yes it makes sense, and it's certainly not a stupid question. What you're seeing there is a ball bearing that is forced up through the post as you tighten the thumb wheel, and it should retract as you loosen the wheel. Sometimes when the tuners are new, the ball bearing fails to drop back as...

I think it was Shawn that once told me that they both come with DGT frets.

OP, you can send them to the PTC for an upgrade - check the sticky post in this sub forum. The only non PRS replacements I've found for phase I tuners are the Schaller 7502 tuners. Not so easy to find anymore, but those will drop in as long as you clip the rear mount for the shared screw on...

I'm in! Heading down Tuesday after work. Stoked! 3rd week of September calls for a trip to MD.
