DGT: I Have Been Assimilated.

Also why they don't give out the Heisman in September!

I was the pre-season favorite for the Heisman in 1937. That ended when we played our first game...

:eek:

I know. You're right. I was too old to play football in 1937, and I'm still too old to play football. Because that's how time seems to work, it only goes one way. Then again, who knows? I'll have to get out the Ouija Board and ask Einstein.

Hey, let's turn on the TV and watch some football!

"This program and its broadcast are the exclusive property of The National Grandpa Football League, and any rebroadcasts are prohibited."

"And now a word from Karl's Koffins, the official coffin-maker for The National Grandpa Football League..."

"Well, Laz, our sponsor for this quarter is Depends, the official diaper-maker for The National Grandpa Football League."

"Viagra is no longer sponsoring this quarter?"

"The players can't remember what it's for."

"Who can blame them? I don't need pimple medicine any more either."

"It's, uh...not pimple medicine."

"I guess I shouldn't have asked my wife what it was for, then."

It's unusual to see them here, too. Before buying mine I had only played a couple since they were introduced.

I missed my McCarty WL trem from a few years back, so when Jack got these in, I thought why not, it'll probably be a lot like my McCarty Trem, and fill that void.

Well, on a superficial level it is a lot like the McTrem, but the devil is in the details. lt's definitely its own thing and unique in the lineup. It carves out its own sonic space.

Here's what wows me the most:

Combining the pickups gives me infinite usable blend tones, way more than with any guitar I've ever owned, and that includes a LOT of 4 knob guitars from Gibson and PRS.

I'm on the blended settings a LOT. That's definitely not the case with me with other guitars having the ability to blend pickups. I've historically only used the blended pickups sporadically on my Gibsons and PRS models. I almost never used them on my Ricks.

Of course the unblended pickups sound great (to me), and even the splits are usable.

If I ever order another Private Stock, it'll be a DGT. Thing is, I don't have a clue as to what I'd do differently. The stock model is one helluva good formula.

Semi-hollow DGT :)

I'm a bit miffed that David appeared with a couple different semi-hollow DGT finishes on podcasts and it never went to production.

I did tell my wife if they make a production version, I'm buying one straight away.

I think a Semi Hollow would be a most intriguing proposition!

Come to think of it, there'd be a lot of cloak-and-dagger intrigue going on here if they intro'd one...

...my cloak, my wife's dagger. ;)

Hey, you never know with this stuff. They might have one in the works and be ironing out the details.
 
Ugh..I've never played a DGT. I'd ask yall to tell me what's so different about it...but I already know that I just gotta go try it myself. Usually the only way I get to try things is to buy them...and then if I don't like them sell them. It hurts..but it works. lol.

Bodia turned me on the the DGT , tried to buy his , ended up with its twin.
I did finally get a set of DGT pickups for it as mine came with Mira pickups that sounded killer on that guitar ( little brighter and punchier )
Some of my best recording have come with the DGT.

So...differences from other PRS':

1. Pickup Splits: The pickups split incredibly well, have a real single coil tone split. I usually dislike split coil tones. I like these.

2. Controls: Combining the volume controls in the middle position, the pickups interact more to my taste than any other guitar I've owned, including my 594s and Singlecuts. The volume and tone controls have a wide useful range.

3. Neck and Frets: The bigger frets feel a little different. I'm using the stock .011 ga. strings, and bends are still easy. Took me a couple of hours to get used to the feel of the neck, frets and strings, but after that short period of time I'm in love with the feel of this guitar.

4. Cosmetics: It's hard to beat faux bone tuner buttons! [Just kidding around with this one, not something I care much about.]

A friend of mine played my DGT and fell in love with it. Not too long after that I walked into the local shop to me and found one exactly like yours hanging on the wall. I took a picture and sent it to him and told him where it was at. He went to that shop that week and traded for it.

The little toggles allow for individual coil splitting. It's like a DGT-08. The coil tap on the tone knob is disabled.

The gold one is my favorite. The green one is just so pretty that I'm afraid to dig into it.

The only drawback with the gold one is that it weighs nine and half pounds!

All of my Les Pauls weigh less than that. Most range around 8.5 pounds. My DGT is way under that.
