    A Tale of Two DGTs

    Here, since I never did a NGD on this, is the HBii Piezo I mentioned above. Another magnificent guitar!

    A Tale of Two DGTs

    Thanks to you all for your enthusiasm about these great, great guitars. I long thought I would never own two versions of the same model of ANY guitar. Now I think I could happily spend the rest of my playing days with just these two. (But what would be the fun in that?)

    A Tale of Two DGTs

    About 3 years ago, I bought my first DGT--a used Honey with a Brazilian Board and a wonderful Artist quilt top. It was my third PRS, after a Core DC 594 and a Private Stock Santana Retro. This very quickly became the standard by which all guitars were measured for me. Indeed, it was the...

    Favorite PRS TODAY?

    Until Thursday, it was this--a 2012 DGT Artist with Brazilian Board that has been my #1 for the past 3 years. (The DGT is really the perfect model for what I do.) But now it might just be this!

    PRS DGT - any reason not to buy a new one over an older one?

    You do know that “price not so much an issue” is code here for “I’m going Private Stock”....

    NGD: 53/10 Limited

    I had 58/15LTs in a 594, as with WA Paul, there was a significant difference in guitars. That said, my experience was very much the same. The 58/15LTs split wonderfully well. (I especially loved splitting the bridge and leaving the neck in HB mode, as the 594 controls allow.). But the 53/10s...

    So, I was only going to buy green guitars...

    I found this odd when I first got my DGT but quickly came to appreciate that the guitar sounded best for me with the tone on 7-8 and the volume 5-7. I just picked up a wonderful 53/10 Limited and was just a bit disappointed to find that it likes the tone knob on 10. YMMV, and all that.

    NGD: 53/10 Limited

    Just spent a magnificent couple of hours with this guitar, having just restrung it with PRS strings. I love Pyramid Nickel Classics on my DGT, but they sounded a bit lifeless on the 53/10. NYXL’s were better, but still not there. The PRS strings are the bomb on this one. One of the many...

    Oxidized Side Dots

    I suspect sweat had a lot to do with this. All of the side dots and most of the fret tangs were more or less green up to around the 12th fret. Beyond that, nada. Good to know about the polish option though I don’t think my sweat is particularly acidic. NGD posted last weekend.

    PRS Hollowbody I, II, 594 questions

    Great scores, Sonic Blue and Brandon B! Quick question while this thread is live: has anyone played a HBII with a Korina or Flame Maple neck? I've only played a Mahogany necked HBII and am trying to get a sense of how much impact other neck woods have on the tonal equation. Thanks!

    I don’t know. That top is pretty sweet!

    NGD: 53/10 Limited

    The Brown Golds in this run are sweet too, but the FRBs are epic!

    NGD: 53/10 Limited

    Originally satin top and neck. The neck's gone glossy with play.
