NGD: PRS SE DGT

Recommended Posts

Posted

I’ve had a couple of PRS SE models before and they’ve been great but left me a bit….underwhelmed really. Beautifully made and great to play but somehow, a bit….passionless 

 

Stupid, I know, but I’ve always ended up moving them on (to better players who can make proper use of their obvious quality).

 

Part of the downsizing exercise is to move on my Yamaha Revstar and Cort CR250 (both great guitars and incredible value for money) and replace the two with a single instrument.

 

A trip to Wildwire in Selby (fantastic shop with an amazing selection - well worth a visit) and I tried pretty much every guitar in the place before settling on a choice between the SE Paul’s Guitar or the SE DGT. In the end I decided that I didn’t need all the switching options on the Paul’s so I saved myself a couple of hundred and got the DGT….

 

 ….which is unlike any of the other PRS models I’ve played. It might be the slightly chunkier neck or the slightly lighter weight or maybe the pickup position on the 22 fret or the colour or….  Who knows? All I can tell you is that it sounds superb and even unplugged it absolutely sings - that Em pentatonic box at the twelfth fret just….rings out with some gorgeous harmonics. 
 

Anyway, just thought I’d share….

 

And a massive shout out to Wildwire for letting me play so many instruments, even fetching boxed models from the storeroom and setting them up for me to try…
