S2 594 Singlecut tuner upgrade??

[S2C22]

I did a search, maybe I'm an idiot, but all I found was talk on the SE's.

Are the Gotoh SD90 Magnum locks a drop-in, no reaming??

As a terrible string changer ... I actually like the vintage non-lockers ...

One just has to become a "wrapper " ...

Phase III are a direct drop in.

As stated above, Phase III's are a direct drop in, and if you scour the interwebs like I did, you can also find Phase III vintage locking tuners. I got a set off of Reverb from a PRS dealer for around $190 plus shipping, so call it $200 all in.

get it from the Mann himself

but as others have said watch PRS YouTube videos about restringing. It’s a lot easier than you think. The tuning stability is spot on for these

Screw that. Gotohs are great tuners. $200 is insane.

I'm fully aware of how to wrap properly. I like the simplicity of lockers, thats all.

I'm just looking to find out if the Gotoh SD90's have worked for other users. I'm not interested in spending $200 for tuners, or looking for a lesson on how to string up.

If you want Pflase III tuners ... be prepared to part with $200 !!!

I have bought 2 sets of Gotoh SD91 MG T (in line, with the knobs on the back) for Brand F guitars for less than that. Had to swap out the bushings, but they came supplied, as well as the tool to remove the original ones . But PRS ??? Be prepared to spend more ... and if you need bushings & tools ??? Whoa ...
