I’ve had my gold top for about 2 months now and I can honestly say the hype behind these guitars are well deserved. It’s definitely my favorite guitar I’ve purchased in a YEARS. The only things I’ve done to make it that much more perfect for me is a quick setup, locking tuners and swapped out the speed knobs for top hats. It’s so good now!!

I got one back in February. Upgraded to the SE locking tuners and some lampshade knobs. I’ve owned a core an, S2, and now 7 SE’s. Every SE I’ve had has hit waaaay above their price point. Since I got my SE DGT I haven’t really played anything else. Hands down the best guitar I’ve ever owned. I’ve been lucky, never had one that was anything less than perfect fit, finish and they’ve all been set up perfectly. I highly recommend getting your hands on one. 🤘🏻

I concur, there is definitely something unique with this SE (PRS) than any other SE, as you mentioned. I have a few SE experiences, sold each. Purchased a Tobacco version from Sweetwater; made the 5 hour drive, one way, to try/play etc prior to actually committing. I even compared to three McCarty’s (SE, S2 and Core); to me, this played/sounded better (better = personal subjective). I wanted to compare to DGT Core; however, all were OOS (Out Of Stock). As a bedroom/hobbyist type of player, this coupled w/ new FM9 Turbo, checks a lot of boxes. Thanks Leon for your authenticity, insight, humor, knowledge, free downloads and sharing your band Ragdoll (I downloaded on Apple music)!

Sorry to be pedantic, but this guitar is an "SE DGT". This difference matters because your phrasing would make the current SE Santana a "Santana SE", which is the name of the previous and original era of SE guitars that bears no resemblance to this era (which has spanned more than a decade thus far). I understand that damn near everyone on the Internet is saying and writing it incorrectly, for whatever reason, but this a scenario in which syntax genuinely matters.

Just got one today, been playing for about 6 straight hours, and am absolutely loving it. Among PRS guitars, the DGT has the feature set that checks all the boxes for me, chunkier neck profile, trem, love the control set and layout, and the gold top with moons is cool and classy, looks great without being overly "blues lawyer-ed" out with fancy schmancy wood and inlays and all. Also, like the McCarteys (DGT is based around McCartey), I prefer the nickel pickup covers to plastic coils exposed. That never looks right on humbuckers to me. I don't have any other guitars with frets this big, but it's really comfortable and feels great to me. Anyway, just taking a break from playing mine, thought I'd watch some videos of other people playing one. BTW, is that a rack full of ADA MP-1s behind you? I had one of those in the late 80s, it was pretty awesome.

Glad you like it, I decided to wait until I sell my LP or Musicman before getting another. Is the neck D shaped, C shaped, V shaped? Guess I ought to go into a shop and find out. I put a Suhr Thornbucker II into my Waghorn bridge, like the DGT its Alnico II, so be interesting to see how PRS SE have done with it especially as DGT runs mainly off the bridge pickup. I have become ultra critical against my Waghorn, my 2nd playing guitar now is Gibson LP DC with JJGuitarpickups J90s and they wont be going anywhere. Let us know the neck shape please

I’m tossed up on a chorus modulation oedal,mead a wazacraft Dimension and loved it but it died last week after five years . The H90 is out of my price range and I’m not a menu scrolling player. I need a nice modulation pedal that gets the job done. Tossed up what to buy. So many choices. I looked at the Strymon ola but it might not be for me. Can you make a suggestion?

This looks very nice Leon, great tones as well from your set up and fingers! I never thought about PRS, so expensive, but you get what you pay for. I looked at the Acoustics, then a shop in the UK was selling the SE HOLLOW BODY II PIEZO in Peacock Blue burst for almost half price, so I got one, much smaller than my ES335 Copy and Pat Metheny Ibanez, so feels odd, will have to get used to it, very loud high output, lovely clean tones through the SY1000.

I'd replace the net with a graphtech if it's not already bone or something besides plastic.. Very cool sir.. Great demo my friend and your playing always inspires me to pick up my guitar after hearing you! What more could one ask for ! Forgot to ask.. Is it an ebony fretboard? Love those moon inlays.. Too cool. I like the birds too, but the moon inlays just are cool to me.. 🙂 The clean sounds were killer killer too by the way. God that guitar rocks..

Hi Leon. I had mine for about the same time 6 months or so. The neck is Cool. I learned to play on an 58 Les Paul junior and the neck on it was on the thick side.My DGT is more Thiner and I notice it's a little more flatter after the 12th fret It think Divid wanted it that way. I was just wondering how much better is your core model pickups. I like the way the SE version pickup sound By the way. Not sure but I think they were going after the 57 PAF Sound for the most part. You play fantastic. Thanks for Sharing. c]8-)

Looks nice ... What are the necks like on a prs ? Always liked the look and style but I've not played on one for some reason. Seems pretty sweet for the price... The is it worth 5 X more question.... the nicer ones are always worth the extra.... Like an Lp studio v a Lp custom. 🤘

@@LeonTodd Agreed. And with the current 20% off all SE models, it's almost an impulse buy at $560. I've always wanted a CE 24, but never pulled the trigger. Just wondering if these will be a close enough approximation of the more expensive models.

Technology and demand these days is fantastic for guitar players, new & old. Manufacturers can no longer produce cheap terrible products. The same quality of this PRS SE DGT is way better than what a Gibson and Fender core line produced 5 years ago.

It's interesting to me that all of the American brands are starting to produce pro instruments under their 'budget' branding - sometimes garnering better reputations than their prestige lines. They used to be very much the entry into the brand (with the exception of the Japan only models). In fact they seem to belatedly be adopting the Japanese model of offering the same guitars at different price-points rather than just 'the original' vs the 'budget lookalike'.

Ran into him later and he goes "you were the guy laughing at me!". He was pretty cool after that though :p @@ToneDeth.

As far as I'm concerned, there isn't such a thing as the "best" PRS SE model, it depends on what you're planning to do with it. For me, the lack of birds and 24 frets is a dealbreaker.
