Mark is awesome; he’s in my top 5 favorite guitarists of all time. And I think PRS really made something special with this guitar that perfectly encapsulates Mark as a player.

If only I had this beast of a guitar when I was in a cover band… the versatility between roar and purr is incredible. That said, I did swap in GraphTech saddles and a TUSQ nut + locking tuners (Ratio’s). Definitely big improvements to stability, but playability was dime’d out of the box.

Nothing stopping you replacing the tuners if you prefer. They don't affect the tuning stability - unless you can't wind strings properly and only benefit those that are regularly changing strings - especially if you have multiple guitars you replace strings on regularly (like gigging musicians do). Point is, they don't affect the 'tuning' stability and I think people confuse 'locking tuners' to mean they improve/lock the tuning (like a Locking nut) but in reality, they just make swapping strings a bit less of a chore. If they are geared the same and decently made so they don't slip, it doesn't matter if you have locking tuners or not, they tuning stability will be the same. PRS SE locking tuners are the 'same' as non-locking, they just swap the post with locking post. They only time tuning is affected by 'tuners' is if they 'slip' (not very common with 'decent' tuners) or if the person doesn't know how to wrap strings around a post properly and the string 'moves/slips'. Most common cause of tuning instability is actually the nut - too much friction causing the string to bind and not return to pitch - string pull through the nut can reduce/increase friction (why Gibsons can struggle) but tuners are rarely the issue... In other words, switching over to locking tuners adds nothing but extra cost. Its more of a convenience factor to those who change strings frequently enough for it to make sense...
