Can you swap out the new wing button tuners for brass heads or whatever they're called easily?

[prs789]

Considering buying another PRS but I have a question about the new tuners. I'm not a huge fan of the new look and I'd probably get a ten top with the brass hardware. Previously I loved how the tuning pegs or heads (?) matched the gold hardware on the body. Are they easy enough to swap out to the older style or would it be difficult? It looks like there's a little screw for some of them so I believe they would be removable. Is there a place to buy brass heads as well?

Thanks!

I looked around and didn't find any brass ones for sale. If you find them they will be easy to swap. Just make sure you buy the correct fit. Read the details in the listings.

John Mann’s Guitar Vault has Phase III tuner buttons. No brass ones though.

There haven't ever been brass tuner buttons that I've seen. They've had gold and nickel, occasionally black on WL and limited run stuff.

I wouldn’t let the tuner buttons hold you off from buying a new core PRS … especially if you love PRS guitars, they’re only buttons. With some patients, you could find replacements if they continue to bother you after you purchase your guitar and with some research you can find people who make custom flamed wood ones…. There is a person on the forum that used to make custom wood buttons that fit phase 3, but they were not doing them for a while and can’t do them for every color. If that person reads this post, they can reply.

What I’m saying is don’t let tuner buttons deter you from a new awesome instrument.
