I'll start. I have three PG and PGish guitars. They all have chaltecoco necks. The PG's have BRW boards and the single cut has ABW. The first one I bought, the apricot one with a trem i has a nice warm sweet bell like tone. I liked it so much I bout the stop tail version in tigers' eye. This one is a bit brighter with a more aggressive attack and has great in hybrid tele/sg/lp vibe. The recent addition the SCT 245 has kind of surprised me. I thought it would be more on the mellower side with the thick mahogany body and trem. I couldn't have been more wrong! It is the punchiest and most aggressive guitar I have ever owned and even thought not quite what I expected I am pleasantly surprised as it really offers something different. It got me thinking about my assumptions on bridge types and body shapes and their relationships to tone. I suspect contrary to my initial assumptions that DC's might be warmer overall than the SC's and that trems may not mellow out the tone as I once thought. My sample size is small, so I'd love to hear others' musings.






 
All killer but that single cut is off the charts nice!!! WOW!! Trems for me. Mellower, more resonate with the springs and additional routing. I dont always feel that way. I should say PRS TREMS for me. On other guitars i usually prefer stop tails.
