Big Changes On The Way...

[markd21]

The SE DGT has been stripped to its "core".

Nothing on this guitar will be left stock except the pickups. I actually REALLY dig the stock pickups. Even @garrett thought the SE pickups sounded good on this guitar.

Garrett is going to do the wiring harness for me. There was a lot of discussion on possibilities the day he was over. Instead of going totally wild, I decided on 2 push-pull volumes and a tone. I ordered all PRS electronics. I really love the taper they have on the pots.

This guitar is getting hydrid hardware. The trem is being swapped for a PRS/MANN nickel-plated brass bridge with gold saddles. The pickups got gold pole pieces. The Core pickup rings will be held in place with gold screws. I have gold tuner buttons for the SE locking tuners.

There is one other super-secret surprise still to reveal. Stay tuned!!

Right on!

I dig your style! Make that SE yours. I’ve done this plenty of times. Metric screws can be a pain to fine. But certainly doable.

Own it brother!

 

[Moondog Wily]

Ground up! Love it!!

This is going to be both fun and dangerous for me. I haven't had anything to tinker with for a while so it'll be a good time, but my GAS is already flaring thanks to this guitar.

My family and I are looking forward to it!

 

[bodia]

Hell yeah! Love it!

 

[Mike Duncan]

Cool! Very cool!

I figured I'd let you hang on to it for a week or two, lol. It's only fair!

Maybe it's time to sell the ONE? (hint, hint)

 

[MWebster]

That's one lucky SE.

A DGT vs One death match may be in order...

 

[markd21]

HAHAHAHAHA. That's be killer.

So Pink sparkle?

So Pink sparkle?

Actually, I was going to have it refinished in Candy Apple Red with a black back (keeping the maple binding) but did a test fit with the new hybrid hardware and Core plastics. The Gold Top looked much more subdued and less like a junkies urine sample. So, gold it stayed.

Besides, I already did that on a PRS.

I also got my Music Man JP15 refinished in Rose Gold Sparkle.
