I’ve had this guitar about 10 years and always wanted locking tuners. Was concerned about the older style headstock being thinner than the new prs’s . Wanted to use phase iii’s but didn’t want to see the outlines of the old vintage tuners. Almost went with the new locking vintage tuners, but I just prefer the phase iii’s . A saw a post earlier on here where a guy used these little cover plates to cover the old outline lines of the vintage tuners on his silver sky when he upgraded. So I found some on reverb. Thought I was getting nickel but actually got black (didn’t read the listing carefully). But now I think I prefer the black. It’s funny how the top original tuners weren’t put on exactly straight so now these aren’t. I didn’t want to risk messing up anything by redrilling holes , although I might give it a shot if it bothers me in the future. Thickness wise, I don’t think the plates made a difference. The minor 1 mm of difference in the post height doesn’t change anything . You might have to zoom in to see the plates. What do you all think? The phase iii’s are so smooth! So nice to have locking tuners too!
