Putting a dimarzio 36th in neck and SD pearly gates in bridge. Should be interesting.

I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate for this but I'm replacing the pickups in my DGT SE guitar. Love everything about it except the pickups. My question is, should I retain the resistors currently being used in the coil split circuit, or should I remove those? I'm assuming they are chosen based on...

I put some prs locking tuners on it. They work fine. Replaced the pots with prs usa pots. Everything else is stock.

Yes. They are in the screw slots.

I decided to upgrade the bridge on my PRS SE DGT and ordered one (all nickel) from John. I followed the instructions to a tee. Drilling out the holes as instructed for the new screws. Watched his video on how to install using the 2.5mm wrench to set the screw height. Problem is, using the new...

I put in the 475k PRS pots. They sound good and have good taper. I tried disconnecting the 1meg resistor that came tied across the outside lugs and really couldn't hear any difference, so not sue I understand why they are on there.

I watched it and was a bit disappointed. Not really any gear talk at all. Just his family, upbringing, early time in clubs, etc.

It seems really weird to me that they would use 475k pots but I saw this on the description: Designed for surface-mounting, this potentiometer offers 475k ohm resistance and features a 180pF capacitor type for better frequency handling. The 180pF capacitor acts as a high pass filter removing...

It appears for the DGT model that it uses a 475k pot. I just ordered them from the PRS store to see if they make a difference.

They are both 500k audio pots.

I also noticed that my treble bleed has both a cap and resisitor where the PRS USA pots just come with a cap.

I replaced the pots in my SE DGT with cts pots of the same value. I don't care for the taper. The largest change happens between 8-10. 9-10 is really noticeable. I'm not sure if it is the treble bleed network causing this or the taper of the cts pots. Any suggestions? I didn't notice this with...

Do these fix the issue with the string ends getting stuck in the block as they do now on the stock SE tremolo?

Can anyone tell me if any of the USA knobs fit the standard CTS pots? I've read several posts where the cts pot diameter is slightly smaller than the knob. If so, do they only properly fit the (overpriced) PRS branded pots?

Well, I was kinda looking for a LP alternative. I know they have a maple cap. Perhaps I should be looking at the customs then?
