The se pickups game has changed to the point, u don't need to change them, if I was the prs team I'd be hella proud. Hats off prs killing like usual.

[ghalsor]

Best guitar review in the business. Straight forward, informative, non-biased. I wish he had time to do these deep dives more regularly.

[JeezVince]

The world needs more companies like PRS.

[elenbrandt]

I love your deep dives - honest, thorough, and dare I say, entertaining!

I value Phil's advise more than any other youtuber. I bought the DGT SE today and will wait until April 2023 to get it. I have owned SE models since they came out and you can easily see the quality improvement although i will say the very first Tremonti SE (black) i had was a wonderful guitar in its own right. I put USA spec pickups in that guitar and it was a beast. I wish I had kept it for comparison reasons, but we collectors just can't keep them all. Trading is part of the hunt that is addictive and the fresh new feeling of getting a new guitar I always look forward to. Ive made probably 10 Carvin's over the years and still have 3 of them and will never give them up but these SE models are so good I really see no reason to own a core model unless you just have to scratch that itch. PRS has done a great job...cheers to Paul and the gang for keeping the continuous improvement alive. Well done! Can't wait to plug that DGT into my Mark

From what I've read, David Grissom took almost 2 years to get the sound he wanted for these pickups. They tried a lot of sets and made changes until he said this is now a guitar he would want to play. These may only be in the DGT and none of the other SE models. I don't know though. He said he wanted an SE that cost under $1000 and he would play on the stage. So far, most people are saying they got it done.

Man, this and the McCarty 549 SE you highlighted both sound fantastic. I'm pretty blown away by the quality of both of these guitars

[brenthorrocks]

Phil, I love that you show how to evaluate a guitar in all of your videos. Thank you!

[joebutler]

Hey, I just found this channel and want to say it's great! I've been a guitar player for over 25 years (off and on), and I love playing guitar. But I don't really know much about the technical details of guitars, how to quality check a guitar, or setup the guitar. So stuff like this is so helpful for me, because I realize now that I should pay more attention to that kind of stuff. Thanks for the great work!

I took delivery of my PRS DGT SE in GT on January 31st of this year ... lol ... hell of an acronym there eh?

Great job Phil! Excellent deep dive on this fabulous guitar. I really love mine. I think what you stated here about "No bad sounds" is spot on. I'm really digging middle position split, but like you my 'favorite' sound out of this guitar is hard to pin down. Build quality is awesome on my example as expected and it's super easy to play. Cheers!

[raveleando]

I do not care about marketing, I care about the opinion of you Phillip. Your evaluation is always sincere and objective.

[mickenilsson]

Gotta say man.... This demo is flawless. You do this soooo well <3

[suzannecoholic]

Still love The Geeky Stuff - as someone who won't buy unless I try (in my own hands) first, The Geeky stuff helps me to feel more confident about what the instrument/amp/pedal to expect. Thanks Phil!

The volume controls are backwards because David Grissom hangs out on the bridge pick up mostly so that’s why the volume control is opposite on the DGT SE. 🤘🏻

[krame]

Man this is becoming my favorite YouTube channel so much good info let’s get him to a million subscribers he deserves it!!

[TheArmedHermit]

Wow, that thing sounds great. My biggest complaint with the SE’s & S2’s has always been the pickups. Muddy & way too hot. Those sound excellent & are wound the way I like my humbuckers; ~7.5k neck & ~8.5k bridge. The split sounds are surprisingly good as well. I can’t wait to play one of these.

[jeffreyfoster]

Can’t believe how good this guitar sounds ❤ PRS is knocking out of the park continuously!!!

[brianmiller]

Gotta be honest, that guitar sounds fantastic! I've been kind of cold towards prs for whatever reason, but this has me as prs curious..

[evadtregnab]

I like the lower output pickups when using an amp simulator pedal like the Boss GT1000 or the Fractal FM9. I have both. Hot pick ups are meant for direct to amp applications. Single coil and lower out put humbuckers allow the digital pedals to produce more detailed tones. Took me several years of playing on a GT1000 to realize that. The PRS DGT will be a great match up for digital pedals

[duster]

Glad to see they've brought back the moons, I had them on a 2000 Hollowbody 1 Spruce Top, one of the greatest playing guitars I ever had and I've had a lot since 74.
