I have installed this once on the PRS SE Santana Y 2018 model.
No need to tune that often even when tremolo is used. Simple and way faster string changes. Great looks, Looks like Core model headstock. Great quality and fine tune feeling and action. Very accurate to.
My is moded and it sounded great before this change. I have changed pickups, cables, pots, toggle switch, cap, wiring scheme, output jack. And believe it or not changing this tuners it also has changed over all sound. With stock tuners guitar sounded OK and little bit 80's style. With this tuners, posts being brass and all guitar sounds more like core instrument. With stock tuners sound was bright but there was something in upper midds and highs that gave it a character. Not it is clearer and more balanced and sounds awesome. So changing this guitar changed a lot. Sure they are not the cheapest tuners but fit perfectly and work and sound great. Guitar sounds like a core guitar. Mind you I have invested in the parts as much as into the guitar it self. I have installed boutique humbuckers that costed a small fortune. If you change pickups make sure bridge pickup has F spacing BTW. Anyways My PRS 594 Wood Library 10 Top still sounds better but costs 3x more even after paying SE guitar and all the parts. Was it worth it? Well it is for me. One peace neck, set neck guitar. Two peace mahogany body with maple cap with veneer. Set up perfectly, sounding as it is and costed me like 1750 Euro Plus my work time. Other option is to get USA SAntana and that means Private stock and 10-15K Euro. Thanks but I can't do that. This is close enough. I do not need Santana guitar I just needed one more great guitar and that is what I have now.
Are this once needed for PRS models that have no tremolo and have PRS (Shelle alike) tuners? Well not for tuning stability. But will bring the superb string change ease and will change the sound of the guitar in direction of core instrument. Only you will know is that worth the money you need to part with.
Negative point might be only the Price if you do not want to pay that much.

Great locking tuners for PRS Custom SE 24
Stock tuners for the PRS SE are good, but these are better. Easy to change strings (I can use only my fingers to tighten the lock) and somehow the guitar sounds even more resonant with these. Perhaps it's the brass posts, maybe just my imagination. No matter what, these are great and looks awesome on a black headstock.

Finish off that Guitar Perfectly
I love my SE Standard and I wanted to just finish it off. The stock tuners are OK, but I wanted a set of lockers. These were exactly what was needed and they took about 10 minutes to swap over when I next changed my strings.
If you have a PRS SE with standard tuners, you should get a set. They're a quality item at a great price. Just liek my SE Standard.

Tuning is great, visually a disaster
Functionally I have no issues with it, as advertised it's a drop in replacement for SE-s, and overall the smoothest turning tuners I've ever tried.
However if you are looking for a consistent chrome hardware look on a guitar, look elsewhere. On this tuner they managed to add 3 different colors (chrome, bronze/copper for the shaft and black for the locking mechanism) for no reason. I didn't realize this until I put it on the guitar, but it hurts me a little every time I look at it.

Much needed upgrade (or not?)
Well standard machines works fine, but these smells like USA, so spend the money and shut up!

Great upgrade for an SE
I got these to replace the stock tuners on my SE 24-08. They are a drop-in replacement and it takes maybe 5 minutes. They make string changes a breeze, and do improved tuning stability. They also look pretty good too.

Perfect!
Bought these for a PRS SE Custom 24. As expected, they are a perfect fit, great quality and installation is really fast. The locking tuners makes changing strings a 5 min task and tuning is a lot more stable than with the regular ones.

Good Design
That's all it is. Personally, I had to tighten the tuning buttons slightly as they felt (to me) a little too easy to turn. I prefer more resistance like other cheapo tuners, but these are fine and look the part. A little pricey for what they are but if you want drop-in PRS tuners to fit or upgrade your PRS SE, these are as good as they come. You could spend even more on open-gear Hipshot locking tuners, but they look awful when using the UMP plates and never end up straight anyways; and cost a lot more than these. Gotoh is a good option as well but these fit right in with the whole PRS aesthetic.
