NGD: PRS SE DGT (was: Suitable Locking Tuners for PRS SE)

[SillyOctpuss]

The McCarty headstock is thinner than the customs but I don't know about the DGT models or SEs.

It's wild; I've photographed them all, and never noticed!

Standard post height for Gotohs seems to be 22mm (bottom to string hole) and the DGT's tuners kicked in at around 26-27. When I inserted the Gotohs and slapped the screwnut (is that the word?) over the post, the string hole was pretty much completely covered.

I was just looking and the DGT is using phase iii locking tuners so the headstock is definitely thicker than the McCarty. Looks like the se is the same thickness as the core guitar.

Do you think those PRS SE autolocking tuners would fit anyway?

I only found out when I tried to fit Gotohs to my CE22 and they wouldn't fit. I assumed all the prs headstocks were the same thickness so thought the gotohs from the McCarty would fit mine but unfortunately not.

These will fit. Andertons specify they won't fit mccarty, zack myers and Paul's guitars so they'll all have the thinner headstocks.

Yeah, can get them over here as well. I just hate that top locking design.

Me too. I wanted to fit regular kluson style gotohs to my CE and assumed they'd fit because the McCarty models used them. I didn't even think to check headstock thickness at the time.

Those are what I have on my DGT SE. I like them, and they look cool.

So, do you folks think these will fit as well?

I've got some doubts because people in the comments seem to be using them for anything else but DGTs...
So I might indeed end up with those top locking things.

Kinda weird that there's so little choices for what seem to be a pretty popular guitar.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Seems as if whenever people say something like "perfect fit for a PRS SE" all models except the DGT are meant. Yuck.

See that's weird because I think there are only two thicknesses of prs headstocks. To be sure I'd email a link to prs Europe and ask them. The guys there are really helpful

Those appear to be what I have, but are missing the black nuts on top.

Yeah, I may just do that. Or I just order the top locking ones. Got enough time anyway (grr...).

Yeah, they're supposed to be auto-locking.

The PRS locking tuners are a very simple design that just works.
