So These Tuning Buttons Were His Dream All These Years And He Is Just Now Getting Around To Putting Them On His Guitars?
Yeah, I was thinking that when I watched the video yesterday....

Ooohhh... White Spot!Oh c'mon! 12oz is a ROOKIE Meal! However-you do get a Pirate Pack with each Meal...
Two screws on all the Phase IIIs I have.Not according to this:
I mean, WTF is that?
EDIT: Have they always had two screws per tuner? I thought they only had one. Maybe I just never looked, like ever!
The trem models have Phase IIIs with screws. So it's only on the tuning machines that come with stop tails.Soooo, I noticed something in the picture of the new buttons on the PRS website that completely cements my decision on these new buttons. I noticed that here is no screw in the end of them. They are molded on the tuner shaft. That makes them like the tuners on the silver sky. That cements a big NO WAY on my ever purchasing a guitar with them. If I did, I would immediately need to find a set of the Phase IIIs with the buttons like my other guitars. I don't like plastic buttons and I really don't like them molded on to the shaft like that. That is a cheap way of doing things IMHO and I don't want that on my guitars.
It happens even more easily when you use wood, but why not order or trade for a set of the metal buttons and have exactly what you want?I have actually been thinking of putting the stock buttons back on it. The buttons is one thing I don't love on my DGT. They had a lot of issues with the early ones stripping out. That is the kind of thing that can happen when you use plastic.
TCI tuning buttonsThe more I think about it, I really wish he’d just said that he always wanted this look and he thinks lighter is better - and left it at that.
Tying it to tone is just feeding live ammo to the critics. This is where a founder-owner needs people to edit him.
Well shoot...threads only little over a day old...lots of pickers here.Darn, are we still talking about the tuner buttons? Some of you guys sound like Paul just spit in the face.
"The new tuning buttons will improve the musicality of the guitars."
".094 of an inch makes a HUGE difference."
"TCI pickups blablabla...".
Once again Mr. Smith is selling snowballs to Eskimoes.
It never ends.
I love it!
I wonder if the tuning buttons are tuned to sympathetic frequencies. Jarring intervalic jumps between buttons, I'm sure have been avoided for a more harmonious headstock, that coordinates with neck and body grain patterns. I'm sure this is all properly categorized and sorted in the wood vault.
I wonder what the effect is in drop tunings.
Lastly, the pictures have them displayed like "Mickey Mouse ears"...and we must be reminded, the buttons are rarely arranged in this OCD type fashion during normal use.
I took a new line with relief; I was hoping (also worrying, as I would most likely get my balls chopped off by Mrs Simon) they would do Soapbar DGT, which I would HAVE to buy, yet the changes to the line were cosmetic. Yet, for some reason, people get wild about them. Go figure, it took me two days to like the new tuner design. I think they are slick and fit in nicelyI find that I usually like things better in person than I do in images. While I am certainly not offended by the change, I am not excited either. I will wait until I get to try one out before deciding if I like them better. I am more interested in how they feel in my hands than what they look like.
