PRS SE Locking Tuners Opinions

[charvel1975]

Hello, I have a stock 2021 PRS SE Custom 24 and was wondering is the SE locking tuners are worth it or not? I'm on a budget and I don't use the trem and on 1 of the songs on our set list, I tune the low E to D.

Locking tuners won’t stop you from going out of tune when you drop to D with a floating trem.

Would I need to get some sort of Trem Stop?

Either that, or deck your trem so you can only go down with the bar.
If you don’t use the trem at all, blocking would also be an option.
Some people just deal with it and do an extended ”tuning song” and just retune the entire guitar.
