Oh How I Kick Myself For Not Getting A Dirty 100 When I Had A Chance.My DGT is among the fearless four. The Dirty 100 gets a bit more play, but the DGT is always fun.

Just wait until Bodia remembers what he is missing, buys another one, then purges it.Oh How I Kick Myself For Not Getting A Dirty 100 When I Had A Chance.
Nah, not happening. Great guitar, for sure, but the DC-22 was the keeper of the two.Just wait until Bodia remembers what he is missing, buys another one, then purges it.
Check out Highwood saddles. Vintage tone and looks, no sharp screws. Highly recommended.While I HATE the vintage bridges, some people do it right- my EBMM Luke III has the "vintage style bent steel" saddles, but MUCH shorter action height screws, so they don't stick out of the saddles, inviting bloodletting LOL.
On my Fenders, I always replace the "vintage style" saddles with the American Standard style saddles for this very reason.
Ya. I could see that. I would put a pair of new 57/08’s or Abraxas’s in 1 of them though… more variety of tonesi've always thought a pair of dgt's could pretty much cover any touring gig that most folks would ever have.
The neck pickup tone on a Tele is one of my all time favorite tones. I like it better than the neck pickup on a Strat. I don't think there is a bad tone on a Tele. I don't know how Leo got that guitar so right.
This is one of the things that sometimes worries me. What if I do play a Santana and Bodia and Sergio are right??? Then I'd have 6 PRS guitars that I love, 3 of which my wife bought me, that would all be second class citizens while I plotted, schemed and sold to fund at least one Santana.
Truth is, this, or Jason's thread about the studio... we just don't know until we play the "ultimate guitar for us" what it is. And along the way, many other great ones may come along that "we think" is the best... until we find THE ONE.
I already have multiple guitars that are better than I deserve, so I don't obsess over this question, but I do wonder sometimes. The two that really have my "they could be the one" attention is the Santana or 594. But I am so in love with what I have, that I'm not on the constant hunt for something better, so maybe I'll never know what "my ultimate guitar" is.
Then again, it could be a Axis Super Sport.
I’ve always felt pretty happy about the DGT.
Since 2008, I’ve been a fan!

I’m glad you’re bonding with it! I haven’t purchased that model yet, but I have considered it. I think the key is that the neck and feel is so comfortable for you you don’t even know you’re playing it. 11’s??? You are a manly man!! lolYou know how a "certain someone" here loves the Santana? I'm down with that. Great guitars.
But I'm forming a very special bond with my DGT. In fact, I'm a bit surprised by how much I love playing it. I figured it'd be a niche thing in my studio, a guitar that I could make sound a bit like a Tele or Strat (close enough for my purposes, anyway) in addition to the McCarty kind of things I spend most of my time with, plus all the PRS touches.
However, it's become the essential PRS here at Studio Craptastic. Surprise! It's the ideal inanimate object/human romance!
I try to rotate through my little handful of guitars on a daily basis, but each day I lean a little bit more toward the DGT than my PS guitars. That's saying something - I adore those guitars.
I kept the stock .011s on it, and got used to them very quickly. It seems I'm a manly man even among the manly men here - who knew? I always figured my light touch, no-metal-zone and obsession with studio decor ruled that out.
The neck fits my hand really well, even though it's different from the others. I no longer even notice the bigger frets. It just feels right. Hell, it IS right.
The tone is to die for.
[Author's Note: At my age 'to die for' might be a bit too literal an expression but it does sound stellar.]
Maybe I got lucky and simply landed a winner. Or maybe they're all that good. I've only played a few, so I have no idea. I sure like this one. The DGT is a wonderful guitar. I wish I'd gotten one sooner.
Totally gorgeous!!!!Love love love playing my Wood Library DGT!!!
It doesn't just look great... It sounds and plays great, too!
TOTAL DROOOOOOLWith other folks showing theirs, I’m feeling somewhat obliged to show mine.
I always say I don’t buy them for looks. But this one is the first I can remember ordering for its irresistible looks.TOTAL DROOOOOOL
I have an Ultra Tele that I turned into a Nashville Tele. I used Seymour Duncan stacks in it, some are the same as in the Brent Mason model. They sound good but deliver a sound a little different than a real single coil.Absolutely 100%. A NOISELESS tele would be perfection. I've been thinking about checking out the SD BG1400 bridge for tele (which is a stacked humbucker I believe), also the Fender Gen4 noiseless. The bar on the DGT is nice, but I rarely use it. And of course most teles don't have bars anyway. If I'm going to use a bar, I USE it- it's not just for little flutters like a Bigsby. And the DGT Trem is set up too tight for that (yes, I know I could set it up looser, but that takes something away from the "DGT whole" IMO. The DGT is a tight, ballsy, noiseless tele to me. Making the bar super responsive takes away from that a bit.
When I want to play with a bar, I reach for my Floyd-Rose Charvel, or my Bladerunner-equipped superstrat, or my recent purchase EBMM Luke III.
I’m not sure my son would give mine back if he played it.I’m visiting my son for the Thanksgiving holiday, I brought my core DGT with me and he can’t put it down. He has a telecaster that he plays a lot too.
I haven't left his place yet so I'm not sure if I'll get it back! A pic of him playing the DGT:I’m not sure my son would give mine back if he played it.
I’m too old to successfully chase him down if he tries to make off with it!
AWESOME!!!I haven't left his place yet so I'm not sure if I'll get it back! A pic of him playing the DGT:
