Is the DGT neck a soft V or is it a C neck? I see measurements of the Depth online but not the carve type.

I would say more V because I'm not a fan of C. Since I love the neck on my DGT, it can't be C!
Yeah, I agree with Bodia...not a C carve. It’s certainly not a traditional V, either. Pickup any PRS with a Pattern regular neck and you are very close to a DGT, IMO. Mr. Grissom likes rolled fretboard edges, so it’s extremely comfortable and makes those big strings feel effortless.

I'll go feel it later - you can watch if you like.
I would say more C or D....it's not a V, like a Clapton.

I don't feel a V to it at all, not even a soft V. I have 4 guitars with soft V carves, and that means noticeably more wood in the center of the neck. I don't get that with my DGT Artist. Feels like a great C shape with really rolled edges. It is a wonderful neck carve, though, and you can tell a lot of thought was put into it in terms of how it fits in your hand and wrapping your thumb if desired.

Confused. I thought pattern regular was the narrowest neck at the nut. Is the DGT even narrower?? That would be pushing it, in my book.

My apologies, the neck I was comparing it to is a pattern, not pattern regular. I have 3 PRSi all with different neck shapes. A Wide Fat, a pattern, and the DGT. The DGT is fuller than the pattern and seems narrower at the nut. That is only based on how it feels to me. YMMV of course. I don't notice any sort of a V to the shape.

I have to agree that it really isn't a V as I said earlier. I mostly said that because I don't care for C, but I love the DGT. In my mind, that means it can't be a C! 
IIRC, it was a hybrid of two. Like it starts as WF and then morphs in to Standard, or something like that. All I know is, I really like it!

The DGT carve fascinates me. I find it super hella comfortable. Yet when i measure it, it comes out the same as the the old Standard/Regular card, except when you mold the actual shape of mine it has more shoulder, so not a V. And the shoulder is not as drastic as a Santana. It's pure goldilocks.

Definitely NOT a V...I had a few Jimmie Vaughan strats (loved those necks and overall guitar), the DGT definitely has a C feel and rolled shoulders. Comfortable is a word to define it.
There’s no GAS prevention allowed in a thread. If you aren’t further enticed, we will try harder.
A DGT neck feels so good that I need to touch it daily. In fact, I’m going to go touch it now. Be right back...

Right! I touch mine daily as well. Through my clothes, while I'm sleeping, when the Mrs isn't looking....
Where’s the fun in that? Invite her to join in! The joy of playing guitar should be shared.
