Not bad! I like the idea of having a piezo too.

You can blend the piezo with your pickups too, and get nice chime going on with clean tones!

 

[paisleywookiee]

Ahh, got ya. Was going to say, the one I had was pretty solid.



The gold top DGT SE is as well.

That’s one of the ones I just got; the DGT SE LTD edition.

And yeah the baritone rules!

The selector switch was what got me with my semi-hollow. Having to reach over the whammy bar to get to it was infuriating. I didn't even think of it until I got it home and started soloing on it. Then once I got a Strat in my hands again I forgot about the PRS (which I was playing in split-coil mode 99% of the time anyway). Great guitar, just not for me.

No matter what I did, to get decent unwanted string noise under control muting with my palm on the bridge, I was always banging into the volume knob on the one I tried (Below)

Evidently someone likes them besides doctors and accountants

You bet! Lawyers like them too.

Fuzzy mentioned he was looking at a DGT Core. Here's mine. My favorite PRS model lately, and I've had a bunch. I love playing it.

PS I haven't made a living in law since 1991, been in music. Doesn't matter. Once you pass the bar you can't get the stink off.

Hey @Whizzinby , looks like most places will honor the price if you preorder, even if they won’t be in stock for awhile. Worth the wait.

My little sister has been “conquering the south” with her bar exams… she’s got Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi so far, super proud of her but she definitely has mixed feelings about evwrything lol

My daughter passed the bar in Chicago and then never practiced a day in her life. She became an artist. I think it runs in my family. LOL

Yeah, mostly just looking.
Love the top on yours.

 

[paisleywookiee]

DGT’s and (regular) McCartys are amazing. Not a big fan of the 594 though.

Thanks - they did a nice job with the finish, makes that top really look nice. One cool thing is that it has a Brazilian rosewood fretboard that seems to give the note attack a little extra snap. I've had a few with the BRW fretboard, and they've all been very consistent in that regard. It's kinda between what an ebony board does and other rosewoods.

I realize this may be controversial, and I don't want to start a debate, it's just a personal observation among guitars I've owned over the years.

I like all of them, especially the DGT and McCarty. I had both a Soapbar and Humbucker 594. My only complaint about the 594 was I thought the humbucker pickup could have needed more midrange heat. I should probably have kept the Soapbar model.

I have a McCarty Singlecut, a limited run Private Stock model from 2014 that's very similar in tone to a 'bucker 594, but it has a little thicker body than even the SC594 had, and 57/08 pickups, with more midrange girth. It's the one I kept when I decided to trim down to only a few guitars in 2024. 2014 was an unexpectedly good year in ad music.

It was my #1 for a long time, but I gradually started playing the DGT more, partly because it's lighter. The color is called Faded McCarty Burst, and one interesting thing is that as it's aged the maple underneath the finish has darkened, and the look is even more old-school than in the pic, which was taken when the guitar was new.

Here's a shot of it. 24.5" scale length, no belly cut, Madagascar rosewood fretboard that has a warmer tone thing than BRW, and the inlays are mammoth ivory even though they look like plastic. LOL. It was built by the Private Stock team as an artist relations model (Tim Pierce has one like it from that run, if only I had his chops!). The guitar hadn't been sent out to an artist yet, my dealer saw it and snapped it up. I absolutely love the thing.
