After playing this guitar a ton this weekend, I thought I would just give a little update. The DGT plays like a dream, but it is currently strung with very light 8-46s strings. I tend to use this gauge almost exclusively in order to make bending easier on my fingernails. With my other PRSi, I feel that this is very much needed, but with the Signature Limited I kept 10s on as the higher frets just make bends a lot easier. The DGT is very much the same, but it almost feels like the neck carve allows me to apply leverage better, i.e. made 11s feel like 10s. I can comfortably say that this is my easiest playing PRS. I plan on ordering a couple of sets of strings and stringing up both the Siggy and the DGT with the same strings and then comparing them again.
Sound wise, I haven’t had too much time with the guitar amped, but I am struggling a little with the overdriven sounds. The bridge pickup has a ragged tone when overdriven and it is a bit more bassy than I am used to. When I get some time, I will start with adjusting the pickup heights. Should get the EQ curve more to my liking, but not sure if it will fix the raggedness. At this point, I prefer the 408 pickups which are slightly smoother sounding and the Siggy itself is brighter. That being said, cleans and light overdrive sound great so I haven’t really been too eager to change anything to the pickups.
Oh, and I forgot to put this in the OP, but the guitar is a 10-top. Probably explains why it is such a looker!
