NDG - This followed me back from Maryland!

[izzyizborn]

I didn't wind up scoring a new fiddle at the experience, while I came dangerously close on a NF3. Truth be told, I've been gassing for a DGT. SO... Sunday morning came, and my wife and I drove to the Glen Bernie GC before we headed home to NJ, and a used DGT Standard became mine!! I worked a deal with the sales guy, and well, it was too good to pass up!! Please excuse the photos and the prints - this guitar is smudged up, so it needs a clean-up and set-up - very shortly. And I don't know how anyone plays with 11's - those things were meant to hold up bridges!

What's more, in looking at the DGT Standard on the PRS site, I could swear that my DGT was the one used for the website photos! Pretty cool if so, and I think so! I'd love to know the story of how it got there.

Anyway, I'm just getting to know this guitar - feels great, albeit the string gauge is too heavy for me, so I'll have work on her a bit. Thanks for looking.

Put a fresh set of .011s on it, set it up and give yourself a bit of time to get used to it. Enjoy.

Congratulations, mate. She's a beauty.

I agree to keep the 11's at least until you set It up properly. Unless your a shredder you will quickly get used to the feel and definitely the sound of the heavier strings.

 

[izzyizborn]

Thanks all. If this were my only guitar, I might consider staying with the heavier gauge. However, as I normally play 9's,and gig frequently, I've got to have consistency between them. Thanks again.

.009s.....they floss their teeth with nines in Texas.

Fantastic guitar you have there! You should still look into that NF3 you mentioned ... I absolutely love mine!

Thanks! I was very close... That's now on my radar. I'm glad to have gotten the DGT, but the NF3 was definitely a Strat killer and then some.

Perfect!

Well, one man's floss is another man's E string...

 

[izzyizborn]

Perfect!

Thanks Mike and Markie!

You should try pure nickel .11's, I find them to feel a little more "slack" but you retain the fatness and "ring"... Not sure if that makes a lick of sense, YMMV.

Nice score. The guys at that GC are pretty good to work with, made several purchases/deals there over the years. I've got a DGT Standard inbound myself, in fact it's "out for delivery" as we speak. Can't wait!
