The DGT SE is great indeed. One of the best sounding PRS guitars I've played. I haven't tried the DGT core yet though. But the SE version was very impressive. The pickups sounded great. Do they use the same pickups on the DGT core and SE?

I thought I was hearing a rumor that they did but I went back to check afywr telling someone that was the case and it appears that they’re G&B built “S” versions still




Can’t recall if I mentioned this or not, but really the he biggest “issue” I can find is that this scarf joint looks pretty dang wonky to me. It’s very noticeable in this photo and I did that in ourpose, that said in most lighting uoh can’t really see it and it doesn’t affect playability or anything. Otherwise absolutely love this thing

They are a cut above many of the import mid-price guitars. The SE Angelus 60E I have was a spectacular feeling guitar right out of the box. It sounded better and played better than the Taylor I went to look at for less than half the price. The Starla SE I rebuilt this past winter is a beast of a guitar and weighs less than 5lbs. I am sold on the SEs, but I do wish they would deepen the carved top on some of the models, even if it meant an increase in price.

Structurally I have no problem with this. Looks like a very deep, strong joint. I actually like it. The only issue I see is with the mismatch in wood color, but that's cosmetic only

It's mostly just how that tip looks that triggered a brief pang of OCD

The wood color difference is pretty minimal actually, isn't nearly as pronounced in most lighting as in that picture

But yeah not really a "problem" at all, just the only thing I could find going over it trying to be super nit picky
