15:1 (PRS's own forum discussion states 15:1 for this version; some third-party sources list 18:1 instead, genuine ambiguity across sources)
Genuinely mixed owner reports: several PRS forum threads describe successful installs reusing the stock SE bushings with no modification, while others describe needing to ream the shaft hole and drill new mounting screw holes. PRS's own parts distributor states Phase III tuners will not retrofit to any model without modification except guitars that already have them.

These are genuine PRS parts, but they're built for PRS's Core-tier guitars first. Some owners get a clean fit reusing existing hardware, others need to ream holes and drill new ones. Budget for possible modification work.

These are genuine PRS parts, but fit varies. Some owners get a clean fit reusing existing hardware, others need to ream holes and drill new ones. Budget for possible modification work.
Genuinely mixed owner reports on the right-handed version of this guitar: some installs reuse the stock bushings cleanly, others need reaming and new mounting holes. This is a 3-per-side headstock, and standard 3-per-side tuner sets are not manufactured as separate left and right-handed SKUs the way 6-in-line sets are, so the same mixed-results pattern is expected to apply here regardless of handedness.
