I thought the top of the nut was supposed to be even with the center of the strings, so looking at a cross-section of the strings at the nut, the bottom half of the string would be in the slot and the top half of the string would be above the nut. Here is an example of what I'm talking...

Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a DGT...

I remember when my daughter first saw that guitar. She is a big Ori fan and wanted that one. I had to explain to her the cost involved with covering the top of a CU24 with that many Swarovski cyrstals.

I saw the tour when it rolled through Denver (the first time, he circled back through after the Lost LP was returned). The show was really good and his interaction with the crowd made it more fun. During the tour, they were recording the show and selling live CDs immediately afterwards. I...

I have the green light to purchase a DGT. My wife is a keeper because the green light is actually for a LP Custom and a DGT. I'm very excited about the DGT, not so much about the LP Custom. But if she wants me to buy both, who am I to argue? Birds or Moons? Solid top or Flame Burst? When...

So it would seem that I would be better off finding a new one for the wiring change at least. Wildwood has a really cool faded blue 10-top w/birds but it is a 2011.

Is there any difference between a DGT from 2011 and one from 2013?

I'm in the market for another guitar. The Brent Mason Sig looks like an interesting alternative to some Teles I've been looking at. Since Brent was always a Tele-guy, I figured it has to cover that tone pretty much dead-on for him to switch. Has anyone played one yet? Thoughts?

I am amazed at the skill of the PTC crew. I enjoy reading the threads and seeing the pics of their work. Some of the projects make me envious, like the piezo install they did for Mike. Other projects just aren't for me for a variety of reasons. Would I turn a 12-string into a 7-string? No (I can...

I've tried a Schallers, Dunlop, and Loxx. I always seem to go back to the stock strap buttons on all of my guitars, not just the PRS. I've never had a problem with the stock buttons and I like the look of them better. Maybe it is a mental issue with seeing the Schaller unit on the end of the...

Thanks for the link. The article was good reading. I'm still shocked about how bad his pedalboard looks since in another interview he commented about having one made. I think he needs to find a new builder. I do see he has the new Fulltone Secret Freq pedal in place of the Fulltone PlimSoul. I...

I really like the Chase Freedom Blue (CFB) color. Now I want a CFB DGT.

Seeing that table makes me think it was a good call to skip it. I'd come home with too much stuff and my wife would kill me.

The .11s are on. I went with the EB Power Slinky .11-.48 strings. No adjustment was required for the nut. The truss rod and spring claw required a slight tweak, but not much.

I was afraid of the nut being too tight. I'll lube it up and hope for the best. All of the other adjustments I am fine making.
