I mean, does it though?...beats being a terrorist or scammer.
Cyber criminal or Revolutionary has a more elevated brand perception.

I’m a dyed in the wool Strat fan so I was expecting to love the Silver Sky when I played it. I know it’s it’s own guitar in many respects and not a straight up Strat copy but I still expected to feel right at home.If it's any consolation to the OP, this tracks with what I experienced with my SE Silver Sky Maple. The fretwork is AWFUL.
Yep. I want to love the DGT. On paper it fills a nice space between my Bernie and Strats.Sorry you received such a disappointing guitar. I was all excited to play one as well months ago. Found a gold top at a local shop and was highly dissatisfied as well with the fret work. It clicked all that I was looking for, but my SE Korea models blew it away. Most others experiences were different from all I read. Maybe we both met up with a couple not so great ones. Ended up getting something else from another manufacturer. My guitars are still mainly PRS but though.
S2 DGT with some additional colour choices. I’m in!Things are so inconsistent these days.. I was almost in shock when I went into a shop yesterday and for the most part the se's had good fretwork. That's such an unPRS feeling. Shock, for good fret work? There were other QC and setup issues though. Another unPRS experience.They had several older MIK models too. The "feel" between the old and new was pretty noticeable. I'm sadly out on the direction the se line has gone on too many levels. Wake me up when they sort it out.
Good news is the s2 line has totally gone home run hitter. Can we please get a s2 DGT?
I loved the WMI/Korean SE’s. I hate to generalize, but something about the Indonesian SE’s just isn’t right - there’s just a cheaper feeling/look about them. I noticed it immediately when they were released around 2018 - I had just bought a Korean CU22 SE, and it was head-and-shoulders above the Indo versions. On the other hand, I have two Chinese-made SE’s (a Hollowbody II and an Angelus) and they’re both wonderful guitars.Things are so inconsistent these days..

Agree 100% I kept thinking the same on the look and feel, definitely entry level guitar esque.. hate to say it, but some of them really did feel similar to the squier mini strat I picked up a long time ago. Feels awful to think, and even worse to say, but it's the truth. I've always been a big fan of se. Never had that feeling with my MIK's or my MIC Hb2.I loved the WMI/Korean SE’s.

One subtle change I noticed that screamed "built to a price point" was that they stopped doing recessed trem and control cavity covers on the SE line. And as far as I'm aware, the S2 line has always had non-recessed covers. It's a little detail, but it always makes me think of them as "cheap."I loved the WMI/Korean SE’s.

My MIK SE CU22 had a recessed control plate, but not the trem cover, which I thought was strange.One subtle change I noticed that screamed "built to a price point" was that they stopped doing recessed trem and control cavity covers on the SE line.
