Not knowing what a locking tuner was and why you would want to use one, I looked it up.
Here's an informative article for those of you who are interested in finding out more.

Saving time is good, and changing strings can definitely be a pain in the bum. So I get the attraction,... even if it is something I personally don't do very often. Perhaps I would change strings more if it was faster to do so..l
Thanks for the explaination Mark.

Great link, Shel, thanks for sharing that!
Yeah, they make string changes so much easier, and they also reduce slippage over time so the strings tend to hold tune better. Historically such tuners have only been available for the more expensive PRS lines, or require some hand drilling of the head stock to make other brands fit. The MannMade brand found an excellent niche in the aftermarket parts realm for those of us unwilling (or unable) to drop US$2k or more on a higher-end core model PRS.
That they introduced a nice black post tip to the color scheme I've been working on for Angel is just a bonus. :side:
