I've had this guitar for a bit, but I thought I'd share a few thoughts here.

I have a core DGT from 2015, and the semi-hollow is very similar. The weight reduction from the semi hollow construction is nice (I have a cartilage tear in my shoulder where the guitar strap hangs), and tonally I can hear a little difference. As David Grissom said in one of the videos they did, there's a bit less low-end and maybe a smoother/rounder top end. But they sound really similar.

Playability, fit, finish, etc is all absolutely 10/10, as you'd expect.

I posted a video with it over on YouTube, highlighting the semi hollow but also comparing it to my core DGT (plus a bit of an overall review of the DGT model):

Here are some photos of mine. I really like the top on it. PRS doesn't designate these as 10-tops or anything, but it's a better looking top than the other two 10-top guitars I have.

Magnanificus!!!
 
Beautiful guitars, nice video, too. Q: have you tried the PRS DGT strings? 11-49, w/plain 3rd? I've heard YouTube videos of various DGTs and some sound a bit beefier than others, I'm curious how big a difference from 10s are with an 11 string set.
 
Gorgeous guitar!

And awesome sounds. Those are some of the best Axe Fx Dumble ODS sounds I've heard. If that's the preset on your worshiptutorials.com site I need to check that out.

Gorgeous guitar, and it sounds fantastic (I love my DGT, too!).

Also have to compliment you on your playing, and your studio looks utterly fantastic. Bunch o' great amps too. Also your video is extremely well done.

Great job all around!
