Is it possible the USA Made is that much better? I've a friend who owns an early 2007 DGT, it is a fantastic instrument. Also, the half-moon inlays are a beautifully executed understatement.

I don’t know what evil magic PRS employs on their pickups but they make the best sounding split coil sound. To my ears their higher end humbuckers have a very convincing single coil sound when split. Also Mr. Guitar Dr., I’m so happy for you that your channel is growing. You definitely have created a niche for yourself on the flooded guitar oriented KZitem channel market.

I completely agree about the clarity and harmonics. I have the 24 08 and i feel the same. I play Amazing Grace with all harmonics and it sounds so clear, bright and strong on the SE! The guitar is just so resonant. Alot of people say that doesn't matter with an electric but i completely and forcefully disagree. Inspiration makes playing and tones sound better. A guitar that lively and resonant makes you want to play. In my opinion inspiration and connection to an instrument are 75% of great tone. Stevie Ray could play through an 87 Gorilla and it would sound amazing. Inspired playing always sounds great!

Tom Bukovac just posted a video about how he hates sticky finishes on newer guitars. And he just so happened to have a newer Gibson SG. He brought it to a tech and the tech said he thinks it's because there's too much material applied and that's why so many newer guitars have that sticky neck. The tech used 0000 steel wool from a fine woodworking store to go over the back of the neck. The stuff from Home Depot isn't fine enough. He then polished it and made the guitar more playable without hardly any noticeable difference. Also, really love your review. I respect your opinion and your attention to detail.

I have gone through various PRS phases from "all in" to not wanting to gig with the fancy topped expensive ones for fear of scratching them. At no time have I ever questioned their quality. You mention how nice the bridge is... Paul designed them with John Mann and I've replaced EVERY one of my strat bridges with PRS or Mann Made bridges. I love the comfort contour under the edge of the hand when palm muting, and the 6 knife edges underneath and the slots in the 6 screws instead of sliding around on a smooth post. The 594 and the DGT IMO are among the best guitars ever made (Core, S2, and SE depending on your pricepoint, but are all top notch). I got a good deal on an S2 594 and was planning on flipping it... but it quickly became one of my top 3 guitars and may end up being a forever-keeper. ☮❤🎶

Having two Guild guitars with the same pickup knob arrangement, I think I can make a guess as to the logic: the default volume knob setting is full-up, both knobs. When you want those differential tones, you decrease the neck pickup for a sharper tone, or decrease the bridge pickup for a rounder tone. The knob you go for is the knob visually paired with the pickup you want more of. You want more bridge, you go for the rear knob, you want more neck, you go for the front knob. But to turn them down, not up. It explains clunkily, but plays very intuitively.

You would love the trem cover on Vai's latest sig model Pia JEM. Instead of screws to secure the cover plate, it uses magnets. Just grab the cover and pull it off. Want it back on? Simply press it back into place. That's it. Similarly, you know what's better than one screw for the truss rod cover? No truss rod cover, like a Fender, Suhr, Charvel, or my new Kiesel, which still uses a Gibson-PRS-style tilt-back headstock. There really is zero reason for truss rod covers, unless you're Larry Carlton and your sig model 335's TRC is inscribed with 'Mr. 335.'

I'm a one guitar person, and for the last 3-4 years m one guitar has been a PRS SE 24 Floyd. So I'm really used to the PRS "wide thin" neck profile. I tried both the SE DGT and the SE 594 with my boss a few months ago (hes been looking at getting a PRS). The 594 neck is definitely a bit fatter than the wide thin on mine, but the neck on the DGT felt really bizarre. I flat out hated it. The shape, the way it tapered as you go down the neck, everything about it was just wrong to me. The DGT pickups worked better for any sort of dirt tones than the 58/15 LT pickups though.

I played a Brian May signature yesterday. Its fatal flaw for me is the 24 frets, and the fixable flaw is the trem which needs to be decked for my tastes. What stood out was the neck. As fond of a big neck as I am, this was odd. A little wider than most, a lot thicker than many, and the fretwork is shocking good for the price. I understand the original is both a bolt-on neck and English oak. This was Mahogany. It's not ergonomic, it's quirky, arguably the switching is a bit much. But for some reason I will take one if I get the chance. The neck made me think of your preferences, and I have to ask if you've had occasion to sit down with one?

Nice review, thanks! I'm still teetering on the edge of buying this model. I would have been an 'early adopter' except when mine arrived a month ago it had a horrible, and very visible, knot in the wood of the binding. (I thought these were all going to specially QC'd in line with the punctilious demands of Dave Grissom...) When the retailer (here in the UK) got in touch about my replacement, they were honest and said the fingerboards varied in colouring, so I asked for pictures of the two they had received. Instead of being almost completely black like yours (and all the launch videos and PRS marketing photo sets sent to retailers and reviewers...) they are now coming through with the 'streaky bacon' cheap-wood fingerboard look that I personally hate. So I asked for my money back instead. I may relent if I see any online that have nice dark fingerboards, but I don't hold out much hope; they're starting in on the less handsome wood stock methinks.... 😒

I'm like you I don't like fancy inlays. I have a custom guitar I built which is a Gibson LP Jr copy from a kit from canada and I love it that it's a maple neck with no finish on the back of the neck and no inlays.. The old gloss finishes were made of nitro cellulose which I think is made from Cotton and it gets sticky when hot. I love the tone of that guitar from what I've heard.. I have my brothers older 1990 PRS Custom 24 which is an expensive guitar and it has no bad joint where the body meets the neck which is really nice.. I also don't like too many screws.. It's just annoying.. Steve Vai uses magnets on his PIA guitars.. I think that's a great idea.. You should feel the trem on the expensive guitars.. They aren't cast, but solid steel and they are all good.. It's the design is so good.. Dave Grissom played for my homey.. John Cougar Mellencamp .. From my hometown of Seymour Indiana. I heard the pickups were copied from his higher end pickups which were copied from a Gibson like 58 or something he had in his collection of studio guitars from what I understand. I may be wrong about that, but that's what I understood if memory serves me. I need to get one bad! Thanks my friend. Great review.. Outstanding kind sir! Tim

Enjoy your guitar! I watched part of the unboxing live stream, you were quick releasing this first impressions video. Cort starting to manufacture the PRS SE line probably was the reason why they discontinued a favourite of mine, their M series. 😭 My Cort M600 is my reference guitar in every aspect. It has the looks of a PRS, but it actuallly is more like an evolved Les Paul. From what I saw I think it used to be built better than PRS SE line. The 1-screw truss rod plate is standard in all Cort guitars, regardless of the price range (I just permanently remove it, though). Brands using either Cort or Samick factories in Indonesia usually jack up prices no less than $300 compared to one of these manufacturer's similar-range own models, and in my experience the full QC offered by these factories is also partially overlooked by some of these brands in order to cut costs (Ibanez is one of them, as I experienced first-hand). I believe PRS is getting the full QC service, although I've seen issues with their paint (I could find these instruments typically offered as B-stock), and those fret ends don't look nearly as good as in my 2013 M600 ($500-600 price range), and definitely worse than in my 2016 Washburn PX Solar 170 C (this was in the $800 price range, also made by Cort). The main issue with instruments built in tropical areas is, even if they're perfectly built, wood is naturally more damp during the manufacturing process, which is also quite automated and fast, and when you take those instruments to drier areas (like, most of the rest of the world), everything shrinks, and fret ends will likely pop out. People instinctively relate every case of it to a QC issue, though. It has to be noted that PRS has a very good approach about this in their USA-made models, they're taking neck shaping really slowly in several stages taking weeks until wood would stop moving that much, but of course this adds up to the price. BTW Vigier is the most extreme in this process, taking years. I have no data on why both volume controls are set that way. I'd speculate they chose this layout y on this model since most people tend to use the bridge pickup all the time, so it would satisfy players using their pinky to constantly control the volume. Or it could just be David Grissom's personal preference, since it's his signature model.

Great initial review Andre, I have the same guitar in Gold and agreed with everything you said. The pickups and playability are great and your dead on about every position being usable and the gloss neck not being sticky. I liked this guitar because the mahogany set neck and shorter scale does things for the humbucker modes I prefer over my HSS strat type swiss army knife guitars. I also think the DGT SE is a bit more vintage voiced compared to many of the more modern versatile guitars out there but still has great playability, it's a great mix. Not sure what you meant when you wrote one piece neck construction though, mines certainly not one piece.

At 4:05 you say it cost $3000 used, where does it cost $3000 used? The SE model is, as you stated, $850-$900 new (less in the over flooded used market). Are you comparing the cost of a used core model DGT to a new SE version? I am confused about this. Other than that, very good review, loved your playing, tones and thoughts on the guitar and its quality.

I agree with you about the half moon inlays. I'm completely turned off by the wacko birds. This guitar is great, but I like the other sunburst version. Gold top is not for me .... at all. PRS should offer the other color version with the moon inlays. Then I'd definitely want to buy one. As it is, I'm leaning towards buying a Tokai double cut instead.

Just received my new DGT Se, my first impressions about this was that its very pretty! The action was high and one knob was loose. The picks up sound great and its lighter than a LP. After playing it, I prefer my Epiphone Lazurus LP over this guitar, my Epi is meatier, more solid. I've never been a fan of light guitars but this Dgt is not that light. I need to really play my dgt over some weeks. But I really think that once the hype is over, there will be many of these on sale on Reverb. I think the prs 08/24 is better! A keeper! Just my opinion thats all.

Great in depth review. I have two SE Custom 24's and a Core 35th anniversary and the SE's hold their own against the Core. I've been looking to get either a DGT SE or a McCarty 594 SE and you might have pushed me towards the DGT.

I've admired PRS from a distance since first seeing one in the late 1980s, but they were always a bit too glitzy for my tastes. This one, however, really grabbed me. I've always loved the old gold-top LP Deluxe, and the absence of birds sealed the deal. I expect mine to arrive one week from today ... 😁

Are you a mind reader? I'm looking at getting a new guitar soon and it's between a PRS (similar model with a Floyd Rose) and an EVH wolfgang standard. This was helpful to the decision. Related, do you ever plan on doing more videos on guitars with Floyd Roses? You mentioned they are your favorite iirc. I want one, but worry about tuning stability- specially for the fully recessed Floyd. I would be interested in what you have to say about Floyd's and their care.

Floyd rose isn’t my favorite but I do like them. I’m working on a video of the FRX. I hope to do more Floyd stuff in the future, hopefully with prs.

I love how hybrid picking is just as natural to you as breathing. I would love to do it more, but I had an accident with a table saw in 2005, my s middle fingers are mangled and I just can't do it, nor can I get into full fingerpicking at all. So it's straight up picking for me. Jealous.

That split sound is better than pretty much any others I've heard. A lot of mid priced stuff, the makers don't take the effort to make all the pickup settings sound unique when you switch.

Stratty sound on the split, and mellow full humbucker. Those pups are really the tits. Bummer about the neck, but is not like Id kick this out of bed over it. You make a good point about how sophisticated and clean a minimalist inlay can be verses the full on Elvis Abalone Special that a lot of builders think we think is cool.

I'd remove the SE logo from the headstock Gretsch did the same with their electromatic branding though the electromatic word bothered me less then this SE placed in an awkward place I love all about these guitars but still cannot get use to the prs sound though I'am trying to understand so I may like it .....

l played a DGT yesterday. GREAT guitar...just like your video shows. My question is - given the really high quality of the newer SE models (DGT, 24-08, 594), is it practical to buy a core model?
@andrefludd
Жыл бұрын
I've only had 1 extended experience with a core model and that was the Silver Sky. In that case, I didn't feel the need to have the core model. And in this case, I don't intended on ever buying a DGT Core. I'm sure it's amazing, but I can't justify the price right now.
