I own several PRS Core and SE guitars. My SE GDT is one of the best sounding and playing guitars I own. PRS has improved the quality of their SE line of guitars to the point where their quality is approaching their Core models.
Brand loyalty runs deep in many older guitarists (like me…I’m 70). Fender and Gibson were THE brands to buy if and when you “arrived” as being recognized as a serious professional guitarist in the 50s and 60s. Owning an American made Fender Strat or Telly or a Gibson Les Paul, ES 335 or SG was a...
What I have found is that the tones obtained with the SE DGT are very dependent on the positions that the volume and tone controls are set to, one’s playing style and expression, and the amp choice and its settings; more than most other guitars I own. However, once one finds the sweet spots this...

Just for reference, I have purchased a Core PRS Studio Guitar from Wildwood Guitars and it arrived not only in tune (!) but set up perfectly. I bought my Core PRS Paul’s Guitar from Heartbreaker Guitars and when it arrived it only required a very small truss-rod adjustment to eliminate a buzz...
Why do I have more than one…because my wife lets me! lol
I have both a SE Paul’s and a Core Paul’s. The SEs go to gigs and the Cores go to studio sessions.
