To answer some questions from above, yes the frets are jumbo and I love them. They’re significantly taller than the core and SE models I’ve played that belonged to buddies of mine.
By way of an update, I got my SE DGT repaired for free by PRS in Maryland. I shipped it to them and it took 2 weeks. I still love the guitar but the service at PRS was honestly quite disappointing. Look — I’m an easy going guy, a PRS fan-boy, even, but when you send a guitar back for repairs because it left the freaking factory incomplete (signaling some pretty serious QC issues) you don’t expect to get the instrument back poorly packed (barely any padding in the box) with only the missing ground wire installed. Hell, my guitar tech will clean your fretboard, do a quick setup, adjust the neck and change strings if you just walk in his door to chat about the latest sports match or whatever.
I don’t know what I expected, exactly, but I didn’t expect to get it back otherwise untouched and with corroded strings from the journey. I’m a business owner, so—to my mind—here’s an opportunity to turn a sour situation into a positive outcome but, instead, they chose the bare minimum.
All would have been forgiven for my troubles with this guitar had I simply received it back safely padded, with a nice smelling fretboard and a fresh sets of 10’s.
This was a poor performance, PRS. They sent me an incomplete guitar and then had an opportunity to make it right but just shrugged their shoulders and said, “meh.”
Again — as a biz owner, I know that sometimes you gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelet. But when you find yourself being one of the cracked eggs, you expect a little more than the bare minimum when it comes to making things right.
I’m annoyed.
