Which tuners for a PRS SE Mark Holcomb?

DanielAr

All,
I am considering swapping out the tuning knobs on my recently purchased PRS SE Mark Holcomb but not sure what I should get. Looking to keep budget down, if possible, but wanting better tuning stability. Of course I don't want to replace garbage with garbage so if I need to spend more I will. Thanks!

The PRS-badged Jin-Ho machineheads with the 45 degree locator screw lug are directly compatible with the Gotoh 381 series. 

The SG381 is available with a variety of button shapes, sizes, materials and electroplated finishes.

Schaller M6 and Grover 406c are both drop in replacements, as well as the Gotohs already mentioned. Hipshots are good - aren't a direct drop in but the universal mounting plate means you don't need to drill new holes.

After hearing good reports, I bought a set of Axetec locking tuners for my Tremonti SE and they are very good. Not much different to a set of Schallers I have on another guitar.

I'm a big fan of Axetec, I've used them several times for parts and for pickups. The service and quality has always been excellent.

I've got a set of these I would sell. can't remember which one, I was in the same boat as you last year, but never got round to actually putting them in.

Me too. Think I'll order a set of their locking tuners for my LTD EC-256.

Thread starter claims to be in United States. Suggesting UK-based retailers is futile.

Grover 406c, Vanson Locking (off eBay) and the AxesrUs own-brand all work fine, and for Vanson and AxesrUs it's normally around the £30 mark.
