I could see doing it if you use the trem heavily but like Danerada, I would definitely swap the nut first. They're sometimes cut badly, which can cause string binding. This is especially true if you've gone up in string gauge from the stock 9s. I'd replace the nut first and have it setup first, and then try new tuners if you're still having troubles.I just bought a PRS SE custom 24 30th Anniversary model on clearance and have read that many change the tuners for better stability. Are the tuners an issue on almost all SE models or is it a case by case basis?
I'm not qualified to tell you the "best" nut lube. I use Nut Sauce. Seems to work just fine.Good to know! What is the best product to lubricate a nut? I don't have nut files but I may just go take it for a setup as I usually use 10's but haven't tried 9's so maybe I will like a lighter guage.
SEs are stock with 9s. He's saying going from the stock 9s to 10sI'm not qualified to tell you the "best" nut lube. I use Nut Sauce. Seems to work just fine.
File your nut? Why? You don't need to file the nut slots to drop from 10's to 9's.
Same here, although when I ordered my SE's from Sweetwater I specified 10's and asked them to "massage" the nuts to make sure there were no tuning issues. So far, so good. If I ever do put locking tuners on them, it will be purely for convenience of string changing. But the stock tuners are just fine, IMO.Interesting. I haven't replaced any of the tuners on any of my SEs and they are quite playable.
