Hi everyone,
I'm a guitarist living in New Zealand who predominantly plays Gibsons. I think I want my next guitar purchase to be something a little bit different though and I'm leaning towards PRS. I have had some trouble with not really liking many of the ones I've played but when I was in the U.S I tried out a DGT that I quite liked. One thing I like about PRSi is the close proximity of the volume knob to the strings, it would make volume swells really easy, kind of like on Strat (I find these frustrating to do on a Gibson).
The other thing is that I although I liked the DGT more than any of the Customs I've played, when I listen to the videos of the CU24 30th anniversary, I think it sounds possibly a little better than the online clips of the DGT (always hard to tell with videos being what they are). I'd say I'm leaning towards the 30th Anniversary in Antique White with Pattern Regular neck carve and I'd also prefer to buy new. This probably wouldn't be for a longtime as I've just finished at the job I was at and also have some other financial commitments I'll need to settle once I have a higher paying job.
If I bought a PRS I'd be using it alongside my Gibsons for ambient, experimental music, hopefully fairly intricate stuff. I know that these things are ultimately very subjective and different for every person but I'd still love to hear people's thoughts on the matter. Man, this is just another reason I wish I was back in the U.S again so I could do this the proper way and audition them both...
Thanks,
William.
