2006 McCarty drop in locking tuners

[mikeRI]

It looks like Kluson, Gotoh, and PRS have locking tuners in this style. Do you know which are drop in replacements (i.e. no drilling) for my 2006 McCarty? I kept coming across McCarty 594 in my searches, but not just McCarty. Also, do you have a preference on locking tuners in this style?

Lastly, I have a hard time distinguishing chrome from nickel. My original tuners are nickel, right?

Ask John Mann. He will know, and likely have them.

If you go with Phase III PRS locking tuners, you’re going to need these to shim the tuners to make up the difference of the thinner McCarty headstock.

I put a set of these on my '98 McCarty. Drop in. No mods necessary.

I also got them for $50 less than the price in the link.
