DGT Club Lame Duck President

Thanks a lot for the kind words. A clear backplate would compromise the "clean" look of the guitars backside. And I do know very well what's inside as it took me several hours to install everything ;)

I'm quite happy with the tone of the modified guitar, it suits me personally much better than before.
The base guitar is a very good instrument indeed: I like both the control layout (2 volumes, 1 tone) and the neck profile very much. The build and wood quality (being a WL guitar) has never been stirred even a shadow of a doubt with me.

The fact that Mr. Grissom and me have different tonal preferences is just a slight setback and can easily be remedied...

For anybody willing to listen to my poor playing skills, here's a recent recording of the modified DGT on SoundCloud.

Sounds great to me! Dig the Abraxas. I dropped a set in my Bernie.
 
Due to my love of singlecut PRS, I don't think I qualify for President or even Vice President, but I'll put myself up as the Secretary of DGT'ness or Archbishop of the DGT cult :D:eek::cool:.

Here is my application for the job.

I'll throw this in there too, since it does have the control layout :D:D

Beauty and the Beast... you decide :cool:

While I personally feel that the stock DGT is one perfect machine, I cannot fault someone for making killer mods to a great platform! :D Nicely done, JoJo!

*faints*

You still have some of THE best PRS in your collection ever, sir! :D
 
JoJo, which pickups did you install and how do the two guitars compare post switch?

I have two DGT's, one with a trem and one with the two piece fixed tail and was considering putting different pick ups in the latter. I was thinking of the Peter Green PU's. Or maybe Emerald's?

Edit: Ok, re-read the whole thread properly. That wiring set up sounds sensible to me as I always wondered they didn't offer a separate split for each pickup on the two volumes. The out of phase is the icing on the cake. Nice!

So what's going on? Do we have some candidates ready? Is there gonna be a debate? A town hall?

Give it to me.
 
One week to go... I made the best of it by visiting with PRSh and DGh in New Hampshire at John Mann's Guitar Vault clinic on Saturday...
 
Cool. Did you get your DGT signed?

I bet his sounded better than yours!:D
