Visited C&M Music in Kenner, LA today. They are a large PRS dealer. They have 4 locations. Had around 10 different core’s in stock. I played a DGT, 594 and a 509. All played well. Played a few S2’s as well. A 594 thin line, standard 24 and a couple others. They have what looks like around 20 different S2’s in stock.
Thing is, all the core’s were very nice looking, but I found the S2’s played every bit as good to me. Maybe I am not as skilled or technical a player to notice the difference. Some of the S2’s even had really nice tops for an S2. Found the core’s finishes were better though. And had better pickups as well. He had a few CE’s in stock also.
I was after something in 25” scale and 22 frets, but the only guitar he had that I liked was the DGT in a core model. It feels so similar to my S2’s. It is more than double the S2’s I played there. Have to decide if it’s worth that much more to me. I was considering selling a couple of my S2’s to help finance a DGT or a Studio. Now I am not sure. I know the core models do sound better Maybe upgrades in pickups might be in order.
