DGT pickups in a Custom?

[Whackmaster]

Anyone ever put DGT pickups in a custom 24? I love the sounds from the DGT but love the feel of my Custom 24. Will this get me close tonewise? Thanks!

I would think it would be GREAT , I LOVE the McCarty pickups I put in my CU22 and they are very similar sounding

The pickup placement on a CU24 makes the bridge pickup a little more emphasized in the ,midrange, as you might expect. BUT, yeah, I'd try it anyway if I wanted that DGT type of sound.

I think that's what's making me hesitant.

I understand completely. If I wanted the DGT sound, I'd probably just buy a DGT

I had a neck DGT pickup in my ‘62 reissue Custom Telecaster for a while - sounded like heaven! I think they’ll sound good in whatever they are installed in!

Thanks for the input, everyone!

I have DGT pickups in one of my McCarty rosewood guitars and they sound great.

I recently put a set of gold DGT pickups in my old Singlecut and they just might be the best set I have had in there (and that guitar has had a bunch, from stock #7's on). Articulate, powerful, hot PAF tone!

I have another friend who put a pair in his SG and he says he will never take them out. They sound dynamite in that guitar as well!

Tough pickups to find, but some of PRS's best. I can't see them not being absolutely awesome in a Custom 24.

Saw you, and the kids, in the latest Vintage Guitar. I actually about crapped my pants because they never show PRS in that section. Saw the DGTs first, and then realized it was you.
