By popular demand, the Phase III tuners are now available for sale.

Oh wow, this has been begged and pleaded for since their introduction!

:listens for stampede:
 
Nice. Will the buttons be available as well at some point? Would love to see nickel or black as an option.

Glad to hear it! Now, all you guys with wing tuners should replace them immediately with Phase III's, send 'em to me and I will make sure they are disposed of properly.
 
I just noticed Phase III's have two screws. Will the spacing fit the screw holes left from vintage tuners found on a McCarty model? Really hoping so.

I've been told they will not. They won't work with the thicker headstock on non-mccarty models. Now if I were them, I'd work on designing a version that would fit the vintage tuner. I'd bet they'd sell a few.

Agreed. Here's to that happening one day. Cheers.

+1000. would love to replace the vintage tuners on my mccarty korina and satin singlecut with prs locking tuners.
 
I really like the Phase III's on my guitars. Just for clarification, the Phase III tuner is not a direct replacement for Phase II tuners?

Don't get me wrong, the Phase II's are great as well, I just like the Phase III's better ;)

The Phase III's are not a direct replacement for the Phase II tuner, nor the Vintage-Style McCarty tuners. The PTC can refinish the back of the headstock and install a set of Phase III's, but finish work will be required if you are looking to make the change.

When they do this is additional material added to the headstock or tuner holes? Very interested.....
