Trying to dial in my "new to me" DGT. I've been using ears, screw driver and started with the PRS spec on pup heights. Still can't find that open and "bouncy" middle position tone on full humbucker setting. Then again, I've been tweaking my Mesa Express tone and graphic EQ controls as well - so it's been mixed results.
Anyone find a certain "sweet spot" in pup height on the DGT ? Due to the current setup, the neck pickup is resting well below the pickup ring on the bass side and just about level to the ring on the treble side - afraid of going lower.
I've been using the PRS Setup guide as I tweak the guitar - the prior owner(s) had the tremolo bridge anchor screws up fairly high and was yielding some higher, very taunt action. Lowered those, carefully, about an 1/8" turn and got the action down. The guitar with 11's still feels very stiff and not as loose as my Zach Myers with tens (I know - big difference in scale length, fret size and string gauge) I'll give the whole setup another once over this weekend and if I can get it right, I'll take the guitar to N Stuff Music and let there luthier do his magic on it.
