What's making it worse for me... I just got my Fractal FM9 after a year and a half on that waiting list!
The wait for the SE DGT will br worth it. Mine is totally amazing. You can read a little about it here:

That's what I ordered... the tobacco sunburst reminds me of my '58 Strat so it was an easy choice for me!I lucked onto one (of 2) that had just been delivered to my local music store in Canberra. Both still in their boxes. The gold top was nice, but I preferred the beautiful tobacco burst.
Absolutely love it - guitar looks, feels and sounds amazing. Neck is a dream. Very happy camper.
That was awesome. Congrats on your 3 new axes. The top on that Mcarty is just beautiful. I went back and forth for a couple of weeks, between a 594 and the DGT.The wait for the SE DGT will br worth it. Mine is totally amazing. You can read a little about it here:
I love hearing stuff like thisPre ordered a Gold Top in February from Sweetwater. My sales rep says I will get one when they come in. I have since bought a barely used one in Dark Burst off Reverb and I'm so glad I did. I've had it for about a month and a half and have barely touched any of my other guitars. It has the best neck profile I have played and it does not go out of tune plus it sounds incredible. I can't wait for the Gold Top to arrive. I'm keeping both! I also love the wide thin neck on my Custom 24 but the SE DGT neck is very nice.
A bunch of Sunburst DGT SE’s just arrived at John Mann’s Guitar Vault! They are not all sold, afaikI just received an email from Wildwood Guitars... they're saying May to possibly June for my Sunburst.
Not that much I can do but I'm sure it will be worth the wait!
It’s unique to the PRS line. Very comfortable. Jumbo frets.johnmannsguitarvault (com) has 'em in.
BTW, what's the "DGT" neck shape?
Nice!So while I'm still waiting on my Sweetwater pre order for the Gold Top I got a notification from my Reverb feed that there were two brand new Gold Tops listed for list price and free shipping so I pounced on one of them. The dealer said they had 4 come in and were all gone within hours. Will be delivered Tuesday. I have no idea when the Sweetwater order will come in but at least some new Gold Tops are showing up. I still have the Dark Burst SEDGT I got a couple of months ago off Reverb and when the pre order Gold Top comes in I will compare the two Gold Tops and sell one of them. My nephew will most likely want to buy it. After constantly playing the SEDGT that I have now I have since started to thin out the herd and have already sold quite a few on Reverb. I absolutely love this guitar.
Depends on when you ordered it from Sweetwater. Two + months ago, I called Sweetwater and they said there was over 900 on pre-order with them and they were projecting delivery anytime between August and December, if your order was placed in March.So while I'm still waiting on my Sweetwater pre order for the Gold Top I got a notification from my Reverb feed that there were two brand new Gold Tops listed for list price and free shipping so I pounced on one of them.

$1429 in AustraliaThe price announcement was pretty much where I envisioned it. But so far no indication on the Canadian price levels. $1400 European (in USD) tells me that $2k isn't out of the question. that's where my HBII landed. Pretty much sends me back to the 24-08 as an upgrade/alternate to my Custom 24. Which won't happen for a long time since I really enjoy and like that guitar as it is. Any shortcomings the axe itself has are vastly overshadowed by my own inadequacies. Lottery tickets notwithstanding of course...
But I gotta say that the DGT SE (visually and by test demo clips) is a helluva machine.
I ended up grabbing one of those and having them convert the tuners to locking ones. I had planned on waiting for a gold top but the weight and tops of the sunbursts just looked sweet. Could not resist. I love the pickups. Never played the core model but the SE checks all the boxes for meA bunch of Sunburst DGT SE’s just arrived at John Mann’s Guitar Vault!

That’s great to hear! @John Mann and the gang are a great bunch of folks……glad I could help….I ended up grabbing one of those and having them convert the tuners to locking ones.
