To black out my guitar even more, I changed out the stock S2 tuner buttons for some that I got from Stew-Mac, and they are Ebony large Schaller Replacement Knobs.
Very easy to change out, and I used my Grundorf GMT003B Portable Guitar Maintenance Table.
I use this table whenever I change out the truss rod covers, or the tuner knobs like I did on my PRS 408 a few years ago,
One thing I noticed is when I loosened the screw or tightened it up on the knob the pitch of the string changed.
I do not remember this happening when I did my 408, I think the pitch did not change, but I could be wrong.
The new tuner buttons are the same shape and size as the original S2 tuner buttons.
I do have the screws screwed in most of the way, and this makes it now a bit harder to adjust the tuners , so I may slack off a bit on the screw, but I really do not mind it being a little stiffer.
I also used my Stew-Mac Guitar Tech Screwdriver Set.
This is a great compact toolkit for working on the guitars, and I do not have to grab perhaps a greasy tool that I have used on my FJ Cruiser when working on it.
I like the blackout look better, and my next mod to this guitar might be some Seymour Duncan 59 pickups in all black.

The guitar also lost some weight, 1.5 oz to be exact.
The stock chrome tuner buttons weigh in at 2 ounces, and the replacements weigh in at 1/2 ounce.
A few pictures from today.
New buttons, 1/2 ounce.
Chrome on the left, ebony on the right.
All ebony buttons on.
Old buttons at 2.0 ounces.

Yep, 1.5 ounces weight lost from last Saturdays weigh in when it was stock.
If I get new pickups installed later, not sure if the new ones will weigh less or more than the stock PRS S2 #7 pickups.
