HELP PLEASE!

[SFX]

Please could anyone help me! I have a beautiful 1989 PRS Custom 24 but today I was tuning it and one of the winged collars on the tuner popped off and is now in two pieces. I am at a loss how to replace it as PRS no longer manufacture them.

Sergio is accepted as the world's leading authority on winged tuners. Go with his suggestion. Rumour even has it that he considered naming his son Icarus.

Yes, trust Sergio.

I was just worried it would get shortened to Icky, and didn’t want to set him up for more ridicule on the playground than he already has coming.

At least it’s not the 70’s. You try being in the school yard with a name like Alnus!!

could be a chance to upgrade to the later notched top lockers? I mean unless you really love the old winged ones

I don't care for the wing tuners but on a vintage prs I would leave it stock.

I have them on my old EGII, which is my dream guitar. Once you get used to them, they're just fine. Minus the head weight of the metal tuner buttons, which are now wood. It was head stock heavy and had neck dive.
