Suitable Locking Tuners for PRS SE DGT?

[Sascha Franck]

Ok, might in fact be NGD next week. I had an eye on the PRS SE DGT for quite a while already, now the time might've come.
But I defenitely want locking tuners, absolutely no way around that. And I don't see myself paying a premium for PRS ones (let alone Thomann doesn't seem to have suitable ones).

So, any ideas which affordable ones I could be looking for?

Hipshots are good in my experience, and reasonably priced!

How much are the PRS SE locking tuners over there?

 

[Sascha Franck]

Cheapest ones are €99, but these are the self-locking ones that I don't like. I'd rather have some in good old Sperzel style.
So far I found some Harley Bentons and some Gotohs that seem to fit. At €39 the HBs are suspiciously cheap, though. The Gotohs (SG381-04 MG-T) seem to be rated excellently and at €69 the price is still nice.

I've come to dislike Sperzels, their 12:1 ratio is too coarse and their thumbwheel is too thin.

The SG381 family are good I have those in a couple of guitars, 16:1 ratio is good and I like their locking thumbwheel on the back.

I have PRS SE locking tuners on my DGT SE, as they were just easy to drop in - the kind with the black screw on the top of the shaft. I think I I paid about $80 USD for them.

Been looking for these but they're not available at the usual retailers over here.
I guess the Gotohs are it then.

Same, easy install and they work great.

I have Gotoh SD90s on my McCarty and SC245 and they're great.

I'd go with the SE locking tuners but if you don't want to drop that much cash you can't go wrong with Gotoh.
