Favorite locking tuners in 2025?

John Mann makes these: https://www.johnmannsguitarvault.com/prs-phase-i-locking-tuner-set-chrome.html

He also carries modified Schallers that'll work:

He literally made the bridge that is on that 1990 CE as well.

Yeah, those Schallers are the ticket for my guitar. I never liked the winged tuners, after I had a set of Phase II on my other PRSi.

Having said that, I've been talking about that forever and haven't done it, so it's not THAT big of a problem, lol.

If you ever want to get rid of those Phase I's...

I feel like he had Phase IIs with the cut at one point as well but he's been scaling back operations a LOT recently.

Love Schaller.

I've got Gotoh SD90s on a bunch of guitars with 3 aside headstocks and they've been great.

The cheap Guyker Strat locking tuners I put on my Player II are decent for the money too.

3x Gotoh and 1x Hipshot here on my 4 axes
