What are your thoughts on the PRS DGT after hearing it from the man himself?

[@Genjokoan]

I was actively looking for the right one before I saw this video. I am happy to say that this video only added to my GAS.

[@gutless1108]

I just bought a Tobacco Sunburst DGT - absolute ripper!

[@gben2457]

I agree that the most important pedal is the tuner.

[@kenthhamner2641]

I very much like David’s tone and playing.

[@REM1956]

Nicely done, Neil. That was a great blend of pertinent questions, and giving David plenty of space to answer each one, while avoiding the same tired questions that get asked in most other interviews. Thanks.

I am still looking for an SE DGT and have not found one in my area. I don’t want to buy one online. I will see one in the wild eventually and play it and will probably just take it to the register in about two minutes. Probably the amount of time I will need to know it’s my forever guitar. Paul and David’s collaboration on this may be the best of any PRS artist. I have an SE Silver Sky and it is superb. David is such a great guitar player and artist. His tone is instantly recognizable and incredible. Would love to see him and hear him live. Thanks for this interview and the clinic, great stuff!

I understand not wanting to buy one online but I have to tell you I literally just bought one from Sweetwater this past weekend. I am more than thrilled with it. I just left a review this morning that should be posted soon to their site after approval. It is a wonderful feeling, looking, and sounding guitar. PRS does a great job with quality control anyway but if you worry about issues I will sometimes just pay extra for a setup so I know it's had that extra attention before it ships.

[@markcarleton6647]

I was lucky to find an SE DGT around 9 months ago. It’s one of my favorite guitars. My Les Paul hasn’t been getting played much since I got the DGT. I wouldn’t hesitate buying an SE DGT online.

[@funkyfurballs1078]

Great guitar that I hope to buy soon... Thanks for creating a PRS without birds!

[@joehiatt1992]

Got the Gold Dgt w/birds,made an ebay purchase years ago ,store was closing,got it for 1700 place was asking more,awesome guitar

[@garyatkins4479]

Just ordered one from you guys

[@JohnW335andTele]

I would love to have one of the SE models. Those things are STILL hard to get!

[@otisray99]

What amp is he playing through?

[@stevelamb6720]

I really tried to understand the interview questions.... Just couldn't. David is quite articulate and accommodating on top of being extremely talented.

[@user-ry5hm7ho8t]

25 inch scale attempts 1/36 of an echo distance. The sound does not equate to a strat, or Les Paul, but it is not supposed to. I have been playing a 25 since 1994, but not a prs. It sounds the same. I don't know how many hit tunes have been played on that scale, but if you want to emulated, a 25 will get us closer.
