PRS Phase III Collar Design Locking Tuners - Ivory with Wing Buttons, Nickel | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The PRS Phase III Collar Design Locking Tuners bring PRS's latest tuning machine refinement to Core instruments, pairing a handsome open-back design with lightweight Wing buttons finished in ivory over nickel hardware. Paul Reed Smith has described the tuners, along with the bridge and nut, as among the most important points where a guitar's design can be pushed forward, since these are the parts that physically touch the strings. This tuner set is ideal for owners of eligible Core PRS models looking for a factory-correct locking tuner upgrade or replacement.

Product Overview

Introduced as part of PRS's 2024 Core lineup refinements, the Wing button design traces its roots back to a 1982 Paul Reed Smith sketch that predates the founding of PRS Guitars, and echoes the wingspan of the brand's signature 12th-fret bird inlay. Beyond aesthetics, the lighter-weight Wing buttons were engineered to improve tone: because they weigh less than traditional metal tuner buttons, they place less pressure on the headstock, letting the guitar's strings ring out longer and more musically. Paul Reed Smith has explained that this reduced headstock weight helps open up the guitar's overall voice, since anything that dampens string vibration also dampens the tone reaching the pickups. Each tuner in this set features an open-back collar design with an un-plated brass shaft, and ships complete with the bushings and installation screws needed for installation, with a nickel finish and ivory Wing buttons matching PRS's current Core hardware specification.

Ideal For

Owners of Custom 24, Custom 24-08, Custom 24 Piezo, Studio, Special Semi-Hollow, or Modern Eagle V models seeking a factory-correct tuner replacement. Players who want the tonal benefits of PRS's lighter-weight Wing button design. Guitarists searching for collar-design Phase III locking tuners with ivory Wing buttons. Techs and builders replacing a full tuner set who need components interchangeable across PRS's current Phase III footprint. Musicians upgrading an eligible Core PRS guitar to the latest 2024-and-later tuning machine spec.
