I’m tired of discussing this. Look — it’s a PRS forum. I expect nothing but fanboy behavior. I also love PRS but this was a case of a subpar response to a glaring QC problem. They had a chance to go above and beyond and they didn’t. Say what you want, throw yourself in front of a metaphorical...

Yes. They paid for shipping. I paid full price for a guitar that left the factory incomplete. Them paying for shipping is akin to me getting a gold medal for remembering to breathe today.

I fully anticipated a response like this. My man… you’re not the one who purchased a new guitar in a highly anticipated fashion only to receive an incomplete model and then have to pack it up and ship it off for 2-3 weeks. What I should have said was that I had suspended my legitimate...

To answer some questions from above, yes the frets are jumbo and I love them. They’re significantly taller than the core and SE models I’ve played that belonged to buddies of mine. By way of an update, I got my SE DGT repaired for free by PRS in Maryland. I shipped it to them and it took 2...

Update: I still can’t post photos because I’m a newbie account but Phillip McKnight’s breakdown of the SE DGT on YouTube shows a brief corner of an exposed trem cavity and you can distinctly see a ground wire sticking up as you might expect for a brief second. He is looking at the pots and...

I’ve always viewed coil splitting like putting a knob on a B3 Organ that turns it into a toddler’s toy piano. Why would I want my fat buckers to suddenly sound like they’re transmitting a weak AM signal through a crappy radio that you can barely hear at the end of a long hallway? I’ve always...

I’m loving the split sounds. It’s a little spanky and a little P90-y. Very useable for clean and dirt. It loses a little thickness but in a highly useable and intentional way. It sounds like both are engaged when I split, but it may just be the cover transmitting things from one side to...

Also, in case it needs to be said — holy cow, what a guitar! I cannot stop raving about it. My other 7 guitars are going to collect a lot of dust. Like Grissom, I’ve been feeling the urge to get back to basics and have a “go-to” guitar. This is the one, for sure. Thanks Paul, David and everyone...

That was also my intuition. It’s a very quiet guitar (as one would expect from humbuckers). I just thought it a little odd that there was a hole drilled for a ground wire but no wire (at least there, anyhow). Thanks for your help. I’d be curious if any other SE or Core DGT owners would chime...

First off, I got my SE DGT yesterday and it is an absolute killer. I was won over to PRS when I picked up a Silver Sky SE and was blown away by its playability as opposed to pretty much every other strat I’ve ever played (and certainly within that price range). I’m happy to field questions...
