Oh hell yes. God, I want that thing...
Anyone wondering if the SE DGT sounds good enough, listen to this...
Sounded GREAT to Me!!
Changing pickups and pots would get you a lot of mileage. Which pickups were you thinking?I have one. Tuners are fine. Nut is great. Trem is great. Guitar overall is really very good.
I do think the pickups are kind of dark and a little short on clarity and top end.
Split coils are kind of meh due to that unless you really mess with amp controls to get some brightness.
I have had several core DGTs so can really hear a difference in person.
In that video he is strictly on the bridge pickup into his DG30 which really cuts through nicely. Great match, but on cleans the pickups are kind of dull. Just my opinion.
Thinking of swapping them or changing pots or both.
Any decent PAF design in 4 conductor. SD Seth lovers, Wolfetone Vintage, PRS 5708's, etc.Changing pickups and pots would get you a lot of mileage. Which pickups were you thinking?

Ha! I’m thinking the same thing.Nice share brother.

Keeping in the Grissom "zone"...perhaps the Duncan Pearly Gates ? A little hotter, still in the PAF zone though. I can say I have Wolfetone Legends in my S2 594 SC...and it sounds amazing. Clarity and balance, and more the sweeter side of the 57/08s in my McCarty.Any decent PAF design in 4 conductor. SD Seth lovers, Wolfetone Vintage, PRS 5708's, etc.
On the other hand I am learning to use the amp controls and a few effects better so probably I should just work with the stock pickups more.
I looked up the specs on the Alpha Volume pots. They are 500k with +/- 20% tolerance. It might make a difference if they are lower out of spec. I will try and measure them.I would leave the pickups alone and just do the wiring harness. You’ll notice a lot more clarity with accurate pots.
Me too. I think the GT is the best version too.This SE release put me onto DG. I've been hearing Flim Flam for years not knowing it was him.
I really like the Gold with a layer of paint instead of a veneer. I think that's smart.
Treble Pickup
2.5/32” [1.9mm] on the treble side.
3.5/32” [2.8mm] on the bass side.
Bass Pickup
3.5/32” [2.8 mm] on the treble side.
4.5/32” [3.6 mm] on the bass side.
Yes, ended up at just about 4/32 on treble and bass side on both the bridge and neck pickups.That’s good news, did you deviate from the PRS set up specs on their website?
