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?
 
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.
