    NUGD: I’ve gone full clownburst

    This is my Avatar photo, DGT, Cherry Burst, I don't consider it a Clown-Burst but it's a real nice top with a lot of mineral streaks in the Michigan Rock Maple top. A great playing guitar.

    What was your very first PRS...??

    A custom 24 in vintage Yellow. I learned that I didn't like 24fret guitars. Now own an '06 McCarty and a '21 DGT.

    Suggestions for Case for Custom 22.....

    Mono brand soft cases get a lot of love on many different guitar forums. There are also great gig bags from Roadrunner, Gator and many other. The best thing to do is take the guitar to the store and try the gig bags on it and see what you find out works the best. The soft bags PRS sends out with...

    For The Love of McCarty‘s

    Not a stained maple top owner, just a mighty fine McCarty in Gold top. My '06 with a set of Naylor Hyper vintage pickups wired Series/Parallel w/Push/Push pots. And the best McCarty variation, my DGT in Cherry Burst - all stock.

    Sanity Check - Should I Do This?

    I put Fralin noiseless P90's in a G&L ASAT Special I had - Lindy recommended a 5% underfund neck PU and he was right about that - I have a Les Paul with Gibson stock P90's to compare the Fralins to and they are so close maybe your dog could hear the differences - all the pick attack variances...

    Sanity Check - Should I Do This?

    I have a 2006 McCarty Goldtop that I had to order to get back then. I agree with you, the McCarty pickups from back then were nowhere as good as what PRS are making now, so I also changed them. Right away I went with Jim Wagner's Crossroads set, his take on the PAF formula that can get you to...

    I Need To Talk About My DGT.

    I also had a burgundy fire-mist metallic 594 but sold it because of the too much overlap with the McCarty and the DGT - I liked those two the best. For a double humbucker guitar with the Maple over Mahogany recipe you cant do too much better than these two - a joy and easy to play and they won't...

    I Need To Talk About My DGT.

    I had to special order the Goldtop - it took 7 months to arrive at my local dealer - well worth the wait.

    New PRS Guy Show & Tell: SE DGT & SE 594...and now SE Silver Sky!

    Welcome to the PRS crowd in all its iterations. I got my DGT on a trade with a Gear Page Forumite. its a core model in Cherry Burst. I think it's the best PRS guitar they make given it's versatility tone-wise with the coil taps and the trem bar (the 594 is a tremendous update of a classic dual...

    DGT: I Have Been Assimilated.

    I just sold my 594 - but I can face a brave new world with just my trusty DGT (avatar photo Cherry Burst) and not feel any need to look back. Great guitar.

    PRS Switching: Blade vs Toggle vs Rotary

    My first PRS was a CU 24 with the 5-position rotary switch - hated it - when I was playing on stage my hands would be sweaty and I could not know for sure if I had a good grasp on that knob to turn it, most often it just slipped around in my hand - I sold that guitar and got a McCarty and life...
