The DGT gets you a set of David Grissom's amazing pickups not available separately. The DGT pickups were painstakingly cerated bu Paul from a set of Grissom's favorite ES335 PAF's; that makes them unique to all other PRS PU offerings. Try to play each model before you buy - the DGT will also...
My '06 McCarty with it's Railhammer Hyper Vintage Pickup set, wired for Series/Parallel with Push-Push pots. I ordered this guitar back in 2006 and waited 7 months for it to come in. Everything about this guitar makes it a pleasure to play.
After I sold my R9 because it just wasn't changing my life, I sold it at a modest profit and I just bought a Faded Cherry Les Paul Studio back in 2016 for $650.00 and put a set of Jim Wagner American Steel pickups in it - LP itch scratched for low money... It does have more low end grunt than my...
Had that same feeling about an R9 I owned after I got my 594 - sold off the R9 at a nice little profit, picked up a LP Studio with a very nice neck, put a Jim Wagner "American Steel" set in it and never looked back.
Contact Ilitch Electronics and ask them about a Cavity Silent Single Coil system for your PRS control cavity. They make them for Gibsons and can make one for the control cavity on a PRS. I have one on a 50's Tribute Les Paul w/stock Gibson P90's and it's as quiet as my HB guitars.
Here'a my '06 McCarty - it took 7 months for it to arrive after I ordered it even back then. I've got a set of Joe Naylor's Railhammer Hyper Vintage pickups in it. I also did Push/Push pots so I can switch between Series and Parallel. Parallel gets me very close to Tele type voicing. The...
Nice - I've got 2 younger brothers who lived in Aurora for 30 years. Now one's in Grand Rapids and the other has moved to Atlanta. I found work here first in local radio station (W4 for a while) then moved into producing car commercials and moved through all of the Big 3 for clients. So I found...
It's the Joe Naylor from Detroit who created Reverend Guitars. He's been shipping these Railhammer pickups as standard factory pickups in all the Reverend guitars. Here - take a look around the Railhammer site:

The pickups are Joe Naylor's Railhammer pickups, this is the "Hyper Vintage" set - these are a trad. PAF lower output set. They have increasingly higher output sets to accommodate the drop-tune heavier styles of music - the advantage to Joe's design is that he's got Rails under the low 3 strings...
in a little time after you put the lighter gauge strings on it you may have to do a neck adjustment to pull the neck back a little flatter as it may develop a little more back-bow with the lighter string's with less tension. David Grissom plays 11's and because it's his sig. guitar, that's the...
I found the rotary just too difficult to use and even worse if my hands were sweaty. The blade will give you all the same tone options but with a selection format that works during a gig. If you're a full time studio player, or someone who only changes pickup selection between sets, the rotary...
The "start with a used core model" is very good advice - however you can go to music stores and audition new guitars there as well and that may be easier to find all the different models you're interested in - if you think you want a DGT be sure to play one before you purchase - the DGT neck is...
I had a couple adjustable wrap tailpieces on my '06 McCarty - I finally just got tired of fishing the strings through when there were no little "tubes" to guide the strings through to the back of the tailpiece. I finally just put the original, factory wrap McCarty tailpiece on the guitar and...
Jim Wagners "Goodwood" bridge pickup is a slightly overwound bridge that totally retains the PAF nice top-end but gives you more girth in the upper mids without getting muddy/mushy. IIRC he developed this one for one of the guys in Buckcherry (it's been a good while but I think I remember him...
I'd pass - if you just play the guitar for a while you'll get used to where the selector switch is located and you'll build up that muscle memory to find it without thinking, and you'll not have a modded guitar to have to try and sell one day. Just my .02 cents.
That's how you do it. Nice guitar. That one's a keeper. In the late 90's I had a CU22 with 2XP90's and for the life of me I can't remember what twisted logic I sold myself on that I needed to sell it...
