How This PRS DGT Found Me - The Full Story

[@stevemoore6814]

My favorite part " I really don't care what you think. It's a great guitar and I'm going to play it" I think this sums up the source of all great music.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks Steve!! Hope you are well!

[@LordRiffenstein]

Anybody complaining about playing blues on a PRS should be referred to Robben Ford 🙂 After years of wanting one, I finally got a DGT last month and I´m absolutely blown away with the guitar. Congratulations on an amazing guitar!

I have 2 PRS, 1 Fender and 1 Gibson. I play and enjoy them all. I consider myself blessed.

[@JeffMcErlain]

We definitely are!

[@TheX-3d]

Picked up a DGT a couple weeks ago. 10 top, wood library...and an amazing maple neck. Fantastic guitars.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Congratulations!!

[@Think_Up]

PRS is my go-to now. My 594 does everything a Les Paul can do, while staying in tune, being much higher quality and I get to feel good about the company that makes it. I just added a DGT to my collection this week and wow, what a guitar! I now understand why everyone goes on about the neck shape, it's amazing. And I love the placement of the volume knob. It's a keeper for sure.

[@bensavage8286]

I've always been a "Gibson guy"...I played a McCarty 594, and I was sold. It's the best guitar I've ever played. It has nothing that irks me, it's just so comfortable to play, sounds amazing, and I actually play better using it. My Gibsons have been slowly getting sold off... That DGT is stunning and sounds beautiful!

[@brandonanderson2066]

Such a great neck 👍

My experience with PRS: I am one of the 200 who got a Robben Ford signature … and brought it back for sale after owning it for a few months. Luckily no one picked it up and I took it back last week. So it had chosen me and just coming back from a gig I feel it teaches me to play .-) These guitars play perfectly and have the utmost quality standards. I will take it as it sounds and how I get along with it. Gibson Murphy's and Fender Master Builds are much more layers' guitars these days than any PRS … and Paul is certainly one of the most innovative guys in the community.

[@iansnyder274]

Congratulations Jeff! You are right, the DGT has such a wonderful clarity about it. I can see why you had to have it.👍

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks. David’s got such great ears.

[@fordhammie]

What I love about PRS, is their QC at every level of guitar they offer... The duds are very minimal and expected, however more often than not, their guitars are expertly made and designed; core and SE alike! Good Vibes Paul! I will add that my DAngelico Excel SS with Kent A pups is also top tier❤ Great episode Jeff M! 😎

[@JeffMcErlain]

Nice!!!

[@marc-antoinejean6428]

I’ve played soooo many Les Pauls and other SGs and never played one that inspired me. I sold them all, found a nice PRS custom 22 with an all rosewood neck, put 58/15LT pickups in it… and I finally fount a 2 humbuckers guitar that inspires me.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Excellent!!

[@PurposefulPorpoise]

The thing that finally sold me on PRS (being in the "Its for lawyers/doctors" camp) is thinking about how when in the middle of a ripping solo, your band mates turn to look at u, and they dont see that, they just see their guitar player playing awesome licks on a crazy awesome/beautiful looking guitar, and i think that pays a lot of respect to the music u are playing, it elevates and inspires everyone in the band, not just u. Ever since i had that realization, it made sense.

[@realtruenorth]

Hater gonna hate. Some people think you have to rip on a super cheap guitar to be a guitar hero. PRS are for guitar players.

[@stratman9449]

when i picked up playing again 13 years ago (after a hiatus of 2 decades) it was a PRS singlecut.....as you say....NO issues and good quality.....but then i got my strat and tele again....(with their "issues")....next will be a LP style...not shure if it will be a Gibson or Tokai....we shall see..love your new PRS....looks terrific......

I love my PRS SE custom 24. Best ~$8xx I’ve spent on a guitar. I’m an old man (64) who’s been playing since 9th grade, gig maybe 4 times a year. Looks great and amazing action. I’ve got a telecaster and Schecter Corsair as well, practice on the Corsair as the action is a little higher and have to fight it a bit more but then the PRS is like playing without strings at all.

[@marlow0conrad]

Oh, and I’ve got a bunch of your TrueFire courses, they’re all great. Love the channel, thanks for the inspiration

[@allenmitchell09]

I never watched Jeff until now and he is spot on with several things in this video. The weight thing. The fact that PRS’s quality control is so tight that they all sound alike without much variance from guitar to guitar. And the thing about us wanting the prs to BE a Fender or a Gibson is true.

[@rdmkeytohwy]

This isn’t just a beautiful guitar, it is stunning to look at and hear. Also a lot of that is your playing as well. Technically you are brilliant but you have feel and that beats everything else. Good points here about guitars in general. Play what you love and play a guitar that inspires you to play. Period. I am going to look very seriously at the SE DGT which is coming to stores hopefully soon. It may end my search for the perfect guitar for me. Great content as always!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thank you very much. 🙏🏻

[@zososhep]

Awesome DGT Jeff! I currently own 4 PRS Core models. I 100% agree with you that PRS QC is second to none! They are amazing instruments! As far as Guitars go(IMHO) if it makes' you happy and inspires you to play more , stays in tune and is intonated well then it really doesn't matter what the name on the head stock is.

[@JeffMcErlain]

All of the above and it’s sonically unique in my guitar collection.

[@ronpetersen2815]

zososhep, agree completely. See my msg (above?). I have 3 core and 1 SE and they are about all I play. Unless something demands single coil. I don't have an SS. Enjoy your PRS'. I know you will

[@MrPrincebass99]

I have a first-year (08) DGT with a 10 top. It's heavy, at 9.5 lbs. I won't part with it. Being a bassist, the weight-with the proper strap-is no problem. It's a beast! I also have an '07 Singlecut Trem with a 10 top. About 9 lbs. It moves more when I play, being lighter, and sounds brighter and less dense. It also sounds fantastic. Both are impeccably built and play very well. I have two other PRS guitars-a Studio and a McCarty hardtail. The DGT I would keep if I could only have one, hands down. It just wails. Nice vid, Jeff. Man, I love your playing.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks. Yes all excellent build wise but like all guitars, they sound different.

[@UpliftingRiffs]

@@JeffMcErlain For sure. I love my PRS 509 Ten Top and the PRS CE I have is fun for something different. But I find going back to my custom shop Strat is hard to beat. Reason for having several guitars!😄

[@baystreetblues]

I have a 2011 DGT and a 2015 Custom 24 . Both are better than my Les Pauls and SG. I love having 24 frets on the C24, it is also a unique “fat back” model meaning it’s the same thickness as the DGT and thicker than other C24s. It’s pickups sound really good, but my DGT has the sweetest, best sounding, pick ups I have ever heard. Every time I have not played it for a while and pick it up I can’t help but smile when I hear those bell-like, chimey, pickups.

[@superlead1002]

I had a PRS "find" me as well. I was recently gifted (long story), a 97' Santana model. I've never owned a PRS guitar before and I am surprised by how much I like it. It isn't a guitar I see myself spending over 4k for, but have to agree they are incredibly well made and highly playable. There are so many stigmas associated with playing guitar that I agree, you simply have to not give a shit about what anyone thinks; play the music and guitars you love and you'll find your audience.

Congrats Jeff, beautiful Guitar, fantastic sounding. As a traditional player i let Prs for many years at the side. Tryed one, giving a chance I was so surprised and fell in love with. Now having 4 core, it‘s for me the best working and most inspiring guitars i played. I dont care what people think or say it’s my instrument that works for me. Great guitars, high quality, fine sounding. Still love Fender and Gibson, but I find my way to PRS. And honestly if you compare a Silversky against a Strat….😅. I think come on people 60 years of Instruments without any Innovation. The old guys played what was avaiable. Ofc PRS wasnt there, and now, how cares. Play what works for you, it‘s like a pen that help uns to play and wright music, nothing else. It‘s not the brand at the end of the headstock, it‘s a human player with his instrument. Love the sound you are creating with your Guitar. Cool you have chosen your instrument, that have spoken to you, unregarding the brand. I love my PRSes.

Why does it have to be one guitar versus the other they all have their own personalities like children like people. They all can be loved for what they bring as individuals to the creative world. I personally started out on les Paul’s. I was at a gig the guitar player became ill. The band leader asked me if I would play. The guitar Available was a strat fell in love from the first note. I recently had a opportunity to play a Mark T Artist series, PRS. is everything you said it was and more. Like the human race, so many great guitars they all have a place in the world. Rock And Roll on.

[@youKnowWho3311]

I just bought a private stock that has the 85/15LT PCI pickups and damn do they sing. I just can't believe the sounds it is capable of by simply rolling the volume pot or going to the 2/4 position. Crazy good. Same neck as yours in terms of finish and I love the ease of play.

I LOVE that DGT, Jeff! It sounds fantastic. Can't wait to hear it live. I really love Paul's guitars. I met Dave Grissom at one of Rudy's PRS nights downtown and we had a great chat about the guitars. I bought a new SC-58 shortly after with 57/08 pickups (2012). It's my favorite guitar next to my '73 335 with original T-Tops.

I just bought a PRS 24 Standard aaaand I love it!!! I also own a D'angelico SS premier, Squire Jazzmaster , Les Paul, a modified Squire Strat and I find that the PRS does have a different sound all it's own on top of the comfortability of holding it when sitting and standing, super light compared to my other guitars and yes it is inspiring but so are all of my other options.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Nice. Yes it’s about the options.

[@joethompson2910]

Great story Jeff… Its beautiful!… I just ordered the cheapy SE gold version which amazingly enough is about 6 mnths backordered… I’ve always been a strat guy & who knows.., maybe I’ll end up selling 2 or 3 of my guitars and getting a core version… Thanks for the video..I found it inspiring ✌🏻

[@MrPopestar]

I’ve had several PRS and by far my favourite was the DGT which I STILL regret selling :-(. The Vela was my go to clean sounding guitar for a long time and really helped me progress. For me PRS build is second to none. I gigged one for a few years and it never went out of tune - great work horses which most people don’t ‘get’. I couldn’t care about the image at my age, fool anyone who dismisses them from an image perspective. I’ve only just moved on to Japanese made Tom Quale Ibanez which, like you, simply spoke to me in the store and I wasn’t even interested in before. Enjoy !

As the lucky owner of a 50s strat, 50s 335 and 50s les paul, i can honestly say that although they all sound amazing (for all the lnown reasons), there is still room in my arsenal for my PRS. It has its own voice, and to be honest, its playability is unmatched. Spent years not having any interest in the idea of having a PRS. So many misconceptions were shattered when i finally picked one up.

Congrats on finding an inspiring instrument. That's not an easy endeavor. I had a '97 McCarty DC for 10 years. I dug it's feel and it did sound good. Something was missing for me. A member of a forum I belong to brought his, first year, '08 DGT Gold Top over to try some of my amps. This was in '08. I played the DGT and dug the tone of that bridge pickup sound. I'm not a trem player but, had to search for those pickups used. I found a '08 set of DGT pickups for sale in early '09. Snatched 'em up and put 'em in my McCarty. Boom, I was now truly inspired. I played that McCarty for several years after as my #1. That's coming from a Gibson lifer. Well, became a single dad of my teenage daughter after divorcing my wife. Most of my gear had to be let go to help support my daughter. That McCarty w/DGT pickups was lost. There are only 4 guitars I parted with in my 56 years that I really want back. The '97 McCarty is one of 'em. Today, my two #1s are both Gibson SGs. A Junior and a Standard '61 model. The only thing about many PRS guitars that turn me off is "too much bling". That's all. BTW, I got my first PRS in '91. Well before the internet informed us all what's good or not! lol Cheers Jeff. 🍻

[@JeffMcErlain]

The great thing about gear is it’s just gear. You can always get new stuff and in that weed out what you didn’t need. You did right by your daughter and were a good man and father. It’s in the hands and that is in you. And I love SG’s

[@prs22gt10]

Congratulations, that's a beautiful guitar! My fourth PRS is a DGT. I started out with Strats and Teles for a few years. The first PRS I bought was a CU22, still have it. Played it almost exclusively for 10 years. Next came the 594, awesome guitar and played it about 3 years. Next was the Silver Sky, great guitar but just never bonded with it. Then came the DGT and I haven't looked back in the last couple years. The neck is perfect, it did take a minute to get use to the large frets. Tremolo is perfect. Pickups have so many sound options, they do all I want to hear. Let the critics rag on PRS, I don't care and don't really care to play anything else. Just caught a Grissom show at the Saxon Pub in Austin and had him sign the electronics cover plate on my DGT, so it isn't going anywhere! I look forward to hearing the DGT in more of your videos!

Great looking *and* sounding DGT. I think what USA PRS guitars have in common is that they have a very even frequency response over all strings and positions, so they sound very hi-fi.

I have always wanted a PRS since the 80’s when they came out. I have always ended up with Gibsons or Fenders, then Franken-Fenders I have put together. I do really like unfinished necks.

Beautiful,enjoy,I have a Silver Sky Se that I like,cant wait to try the DGT Se goldtop

[@JeffMcErlain]

All reports say it’s awesome. David is very happy with them and he’s very picky as his name is attached.

[@etienne844]

Beautiful looking and sounding guitar. Congrats Jeff !!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks my friend!

[@Adventuresingearland]

Lovely outro playing - bravo.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thank you. One of my tunes called “Marta”.

[@backauf]

lovely slow tremolo on Marta. you lucky dog with long fingers - for me, much warm up for that opening stretch.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks. You know actually my hands a fairly average sized.

[@BillDutton]

Beautiful tone and playing Jeff. I have to agree with you...the older I get the less I care what people think lol, but also - PRS in my experience has the most consistent build quality. I've been in savings mode because my next guitar is a DGT. Thank you for another great video.

[@JeffMcErlain]

You are welcome! I had to leverage some stuff to pull this off!

[@azizaziz7007]

This DGT looks drop dead gorgeous

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thank you!

[@vanisher16]

I have a PRS stripped 58. By far it is the best instrument I have ever played... If I could afford another PRS is would deff be a DGT

That guitar is beautiful. Gibson might get too much hate for the problems they have, but PRS doesn't get enough credit for making amazing instruments. Look at that thing.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Ha! Yeah agreed!

[@foxyfoxtrot4233]

The DGT may just be PRS' best offering, all the details add up, the bigger frets and thicker strings, the neck carve, the pickups, the dual volume controls, the split sounds... If I could take only 1 guitar to a rehearsal / gig, it would be my DGT Standard (all mahogany).

[@Wermode]

Beautiful. If it’s good enough for David Grissom, it’s miles beyond good enough for me. Nice axe, Jeff. Congrats!

[@JeffMcErlain]

It sure is!

[@mojogaucho]

I have owned a DGT for over a decade and let me say from the getgo that in my opinion no one makes a guitar with the consistent quality of a PRS guitar. The initial circumstances of my purchase meant that I didn't really have a chance to play the DGT and "bond" with it. Consequently I was not 100% taken with the sound. I found it a bit too sharp and trebly, I couldn't get that creamy jazz sound. I decided to take the treble bleed caps out of circuit and suddenly it was there, the sound I was looking for from this guitar. Recently I decided to change the volume control for the neck pickup to one with and pushpull option to switch the treble bleed caps in and out to suit. Heaven! Now I can do Nile Rogers or Clapton at the "flick" of a switch. Highly recommend this mod.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Funny. Great minds, I am thinking of similar options. David plays with a darker tone so the treble bleeds really work for him. I’m not used to them but it’s an easy fix and great you didn’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

[@JeffMcErlain]

I really like that mod idea just as you describe. Thank you!

[@mojogaucho]

@@JeffMcErlain the good part is one is not doing something that can't be reversed. Heads up: I had to find some steel washers as the hole for the standard volume pot is much bigger than the hole needed for the pushpull pot. No big deal though.

[@JeffMcErlain]

@@mojogaucho thanks for the tip!!

[@JackMasonLive]

a different guitar only distracts you from playing the same and being repetitive. A different guitar also brings out a different player and enhances your creativity. cheers

[@steveliberty]

PRS guitars are fantastic - but I have never really bonded with the neck profiles. I am a Gibson guy when it comes to neck shape, and I also like a nice Tele. But the PRS neck shapes are different and not my thing. You new DGT is gorgeous and I hope you enjoy it for years to come.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Try the DGT if you haven’t. Narrower than the other models.

[@IvorThomas]

I agree on the neck shape thing. At first the thought the DGT neck was overly scrawny, but it’s growing on me, and thumb-over chords and double stops are a breeze.

[@AndiPicker]

I've "nearly" bought a PRS so many times over the years but never quite got THAT connection. Today I'd love a DGT but honestly a lot of the finishes look a bit like furniture to my eye and I can't stand book-match tops that don't match across the join - that one you have is possibly the best looking DGT I've ever seen . Sounds ok too in your hands😜

[@grooveitman929]

Hi Jeff! After playing so many years with a heavy right hand and too much pressure on my left hand, I realized that almost all the players I dig (including you in my top 5 list) play with the opposite strategy. If this is something you consider relevant to note, it would be great to have a video showing how to achieve that and to take advantage with it. Beautiful guitar, but anyway the tone is great mainly because you are not ruining it with your picking hand.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Hey! Thank you. That is an excellent video topic that I will definitely do. It is very important, I used to play really hard on both hands and had to work to sort it out. Economy picking really helped me. Thank you for the idea. 🙏🏻

[@martymaker]

Hi Jeff, I totally agree. If you find one you keep it. I make guitars, renovate old ones. Need to upload some videos. There is something magical in some of them. You just do not want to sell it ever! Other are good, but someone else may feel this thing better. Its a strange thing really.

[@martymaker]

Btw. This PRS is amazing

[@frankpicha7180]

A beautiful looking and sounding guitar, Jeff. Enjoy!

Yes I love the more traditional guitars but a couple of days ago I tried out a couple of PRS SE models while assessing a new amp I bought. My mind was blown by their tone and QC. Then played a Gibson Les Paul. My expectations are recalibrated but darned I’m still drawn to that damned poker chip.

[@the_original_jt]

@JeffMcErlain Phenomenal sounds in this video. What was your signal chain? I have a Custom 24, and a 594 (that is now my favorite guitar), and I have been considering adding a DGT; do you think it will fit comfortably with the 594 as far as playability and sound?

[@chrisg5271]

Thanks Jeff, enjoyed that video. It’s interesting as from time to time I have looked at PRS, obviously heard them played many times and love the idea of them, in particular your model. The times I have played them in store I never felt good enough to benefit from them, nice to watch you playing one. I’ll keep trying them out from time to time

[@JeffMcErlain]

I understand!

[@rayfabris2512]

I haven't played a prs so idk but I do have a newer Gibson les paul standard and love it but that top is toooo cooooool and if it's in reach go get

[@JeffMcErlain]

Gibson is making good stuff lately!
