Default PRS Winged Tuner string change video

Hi all. I thought this might help a small select group out there. If you happen to have a PRS with the old winged tuners they can be somewhat difficult to understand when it comes to changing strings. The PRS supplied guide/paperwork is not the best. To this day I still see people's winged tuners with the wing in the completely wrong spot as it gets all wrapped around the axel.

I used to struggle with them. Especially when it came to the high E, I'd pull as hard as I could to take out slack so the wing wouldn't halve to go half way around the world before it got in tune. Now after watching these two videos, I can change a set of string perfectly in a few min or at least slightly quicker than on my Tele.

Video one is probably the better one. Fast forward to 8:03 for the wing locking tuner string change: https://youtu.be/-jfakcKV_2A

Nice video too: https://youtu.be/3xudcBwBAAQ

Hope this helps at least one person
