Hi!
New here. Hopefully this is posted in the correct forum!
I've always been an EBMM guy but recently got super interested in getting a PRS. I've been checking out a lot of reviews and think I'm gonna go for a Core model straight away as they are immensely beautiful as well as sounding good. This will be for home/studio use and I always believe guitars are not only amazing musical instruments but also art for the room
I'm having some trouble choosing which model though. I've "narrowed" it down to:
- Custom 24-08
- McCarty 594 Singlecut
- DGT
- 509
- Studio
Yeah, I know. Still a lot of narrowing left to do, lmao!
Since I don't have the possibility to test any of these guitars (there are almost no physical stores left in my area...), I guess my questions for you are the following:
- How do these differ in terms of usability, playability, shape, etc?
- How do these differ in terms of electronics?
- How do these differ in terms of sound?
I know some of these things are highly subjective, especially sound, but I'm looking for a ball park the general thought behind the models. I also know that some of these things are written on their product page, I'm looking for the information that isn't written there that might only be apparent for those of you that owns these models
If it helps, I'm looking for mainly rock tones. Everything from hard rock, classic rock, heavy rock, 80s rock (think AC/DC, Def Lepard, KISS, Europe) to modern rock (think Band Maid) type of tones. But of course, if it's versitile and can do many things, that might be preferred!
Sorry for a huge question like this, as my first post
