I've never been a PRS guy. The neck carves generally don't work for me. I am a Gibson guy, and I am used to the Gibson neck carves. So the McCarty never really had an attraction to me. But I did buy a DGT SE, and it is killer. I really wanted the Gold top, but could only find the sunburst. Exactly the opposite of your experience :) Anyway, great great guitar, even for a Gibson guy.

I have an SE Silver Sky and recently picked up the DGT SE and it is an amazing instrument. The pickup voicing is phenomenal and as you mentioned the coil split brings a whole new tonescape that's Strat-ish as well as as some unique, out of phase qualities as you roll back on the volume knob. It's early for me but I'm very impressed and thrilled with mine right now.

Mike, I’ve owned numerous PRS guitars. My number one go-to is a 1990 Custom 24 Ten Top. I bought it brand new. It was my introduction to the peerless approach to quality that’s included in all things PRS. Since then, I’ve owned numerous PRS guitars, but within the past few months I acquired an SE McCarty 594 and a gold top DGT SE. I’ve found both of them to be among the best I’ve ever owned. I have to agree with you-I think the DGT SE is the finest guitar from the SE line ever produced. I can’t play it enough. Paul Smith and David Grissom summoned up a kind of magic that only comes along once in a while, and they knocked it out of the park with their collaboration. By the way, I really enjoyed your take on “Human Nature.” Thanks for taking the time to put together this video.

I don't think the PRS SE is to PRS S2 and Core what Squier is to Fender. The SE line is more comparable to Fender's Mexican-made guitars, and the price points are more comparable. Squiers top out at around $500 (most are less); you can't get an SE for anywhere near that. And PRS's core models cost more than a lot of Fender Custom Shop guitars; even S2 models are priced higher than many top-end (non-Custom Shop) Fenders. That said, I agree with everything you said about the McCarty 594 SE. I have one and was blown away by the quality, sound, and playability. I've mainly been more of a Fender guy in the 45 years I've been playing. The only PRS I'd owned was an early Swamp Ash Special, which I could shoot myself for selling.

The S2 has the same Electronics as the SE. The difference is mainly in the way the guitars are 'built' and where. S2 are built in US with 'solid' wood, where as the SE is built in Indonesia with multi-piece bodies/tops and a veneer to look great. Arguably, the way its built doesn't make much difference if you are using the same electronics and hardware so it should sound 'similar' and not a million miles away from the 'core'. The point is to make compromises to keep the costs down for you, the customer, but to try and keep the same feel, sound, playability etc. Can't afford a Core, then 'S2' compromises on single piece necks, thinner tops with shallower carves and 'overseas' manufacturing of electronics etc to create a 'cheaper' alternative, with the cheapest option being made in Indonesia entirely. The Pickups too maybe made 'differently' to achieve a 'similar' sound too - like the SE Silver Sky Pups are very different in design to the US model, but sound is very similar...

Just after Christmas 2023, I played a DGT SE (Gold Top) in a nearby store. I played it through a Fender amp for a few minutes then bought it on the spot. That’s rare for me, but it sounded so *good*. I’ve been playing it with a local band since then and it sounds great. The neck is a little thick but I’m used to it now. The body is a little heavy but I’m used it now. I like PRS Birds but I don’t miss them with this guitar. The three knobs are fine. Months later, I’m still happy with it.

Nice review, great playing! I bought a used Core DGT for a good price, then shortly after the DGT SE was released. Picked one up just to see if they were comparable, expecting to return or sell the SE. In some ways I actually like the SE better. Are they directly comparable? No, but the differences are less than you'd think. I'm selling the Core and keeping the SE. The Core does feel like a more refined instrument, built with more attention to detail. Those characteristics make all the difference to some players but not to me. The SE simply sounds great and it feels good to play, and it hangs right in there with the Core, very closely.

I really like rhe PRS SE line and its constaly one of the lines I recommend to friends who are looking for their 2nd electric guitar (A Classic Vibe or Anniversary Strat or Tele is my 1st guitar recommendation). But they are not my personal favorite line from PRS, not because they are bad, but because one, seldom talked about line from PRS blows me away every time, and that is the CE line. The CEs slot between the S2s and the Core guitars, and get a violin carve on the top, and have Core pickups and hardware (except for the bridge, that is an import, same as on the S2s and SEs). Every CE range guitar is a bolt on neck, and I'm pretty sure the US Silver Sky is technically a CE range guitar. Basically, I'd love to see more KZbinrs dive into the CE lineup. I think they compete well with the top end of the US standard range from Fender and Gibson at similar price points, and the few models in that range are definitely worth talking about.

I second this. I had some SE models which were great. Got my first CE 24 a couple years ago with 57/08 pickups. Like it so much I sold my SE models and bought a second one in another color. Then got another CE with 85/15s. I no longer own any SE models. I've played quite a few core models thinking they would be a big upgrade, but honestly I preferred the CE. My only wish for the CE line would be a pattern regular neck vs the wide thin. I think a core 594 is in my future but we'll see.

I've been a luthier for 25 years now and i can definitely say with that guitars, the law of diminishing returns applies more than most other products (with amps it's almost the opposite: typically the more the cost the better the amp until it reaches a ceiling). People can say there's no difference between a $500 Strat and a $2000 Strat, but speaking from experience if you go from playing a $2000 Strat to playing a $500 you'll definitely notice a diff. A $2000 Strat compared to a $5000 Strat however? Not so much. The higher the price the less difference you'll notice. I haven't tried the DGT SE yet so i can't really speak to them. However It seems VERY similar to the Paul's guitar SE, at least in regards to it's neck and body construction, and i bought the Paul's Guitar (stupid f'cking name BTW) as a sessions axe shortly after i first tried one. I ended up having to replace all the electronics because i need two volume controls, but that's a personal preference thing and as a platform is excellent. Except with Strats I much prefer fixed bridges so I'd probably not buy the DGT but again this is just a preference I do own an S2 594 however, and had a Core model loaned to me for a few months prior to the S2s being released (and have handled, played and worked on a score of them. I only just replaced pickups on an SEs just two weeks ago, so I've only experience with the one so far. I bought the S2 because while they're constructed differently and there are differences in the way the body feels, the necks and primary tones were almost indistinguishable. The only real difference in tone came from the pickups which i was already planning on replacing with a Wagner "Crossroads" in the neck and Cherrybucker" in the bridge because they were in the Core and i really liked them. Once those were in they sounded the same. The SE 594 is definitely a phenomenal guitar, and I'm not even going to say for the money, it's just a great guitar. But the difference between the SE & S2 are more apparent than the S2 is with the Core, so if you're looking to get closer to the Core you might want to look at used S2. If this isn't the case you'll be happy with the SE. The pickups in the SE & S2 (which are the same) are really great sounding pickups. I didn't replace them because they're was anything wrong with them, i just wanted something different but there's no reason you'd ever have to replace them. Understand that i say that as someone who's owned several different PRSs over the last twenty years and never liked the pickups in any of them until they came out with the 57/07s years ago. I was honestly wide-eyed when i first tried the 58/15s, they just nailed that overdriven PAF sound so well, but i definitely prefer the LTs they're using now. *The DGT does the coil splitting a bit different from all the others. They all use a partial split where instead of the entire coil being shunted to the ground, they do something like 75% of it and keep 25% (this isn't exact, I'm just using to for descriptive purposes). The DGT removes much less of that coil and retains more (at least that's what they did with the Core), so it sounds more like a P90 or mini humbucker. Personally that's how i wire my own guitars, more of a full/bright than humbucker/single coil. If i wanted single coils i just play a Strat.

Guitarists love to fuss over a lot of extremely minor details. I'm not a big PRS fan, I play funk metal on Ibanez super strats - but the SE is a good guitar, most of the tone in a guitar is in the amp, speakers/mic/IR. Hit songs have been recorded on the cheapest Fender Squires and they sounded amazing, coz the amp/cab/mics/mixing sounded amazing. Expensive guitars are great and all and feel nicer to play, but the people listening to your music can't tell the difference between an affordable guitar and $2000+ guitar at all. Set your amp/cab/mics/IR right and it's gonna sound great, even with a cheap guitar.

Mike a good while back i had 2 core DGTs and i loved them but had to let them go. So i was excited to try the SE and I got one the first week sweetwater shipped them and I immediately installed SE locking tuners. I have always struggled with humbucker guitars like les pauls and I couldn’t remember exactly how my previous DGT models felt because it had been 6-7 years since I played them. But I immediately felt that the SE felt better than every other humbucker style guitar, and it felt incredibly reminiscent of the core because of the neck. And I have been stunned from day 1 about the sounds. This thing just rocks but it can also be beautiful with cleaner tones. I felt for the price, I have not played a better guitar with 2 buckers. I have put more miles on it this last 6 months or whatever than on most new instruments I have bought over the last 7 years. I don’t impress as easily anymore but it is just a knockout in my opinion. Can’t stop playing it!

You got it confused the first volume knob works the treble PUP and the second works the bass PUP

Don’t the SE and S2 line share practically the same pickups?

i was going to buy a DGT, but im so tired of gigging guitars and burning through frets after less than 2 years, i now have a policy where im not buying another guitar unless it has ss frets, love the DGT se though they did a great job on it

A PRS SE is like a low T SG. (I would have said Les Paul but SG sounded better... lol)

Is the 24-08 more versatile than the McCarty se 594?

PRS comes nowhere close to Ibanez when it comes to naming their models.

Even when the very first SE lines hit the market, the only problems were binding at the nut. The ONLY problem. They put a lot of care into making sure World Music Instrument Co. put instruments out that represented the company well. Paul Reed Smith is the most consistent mass produced marque ever and that includes the SE line. Best guitar I probably ever had is an '89 CE24. That thing was a weapon. Just trust me mike and friends, this is saying a lot. The Core DGT is a beast. One of my friends puts his Parker Fly Deluxe and his DGT on the same level
