I can't any difference but I own a 1989 Les Paul and a 2022 PRS SE Custom 24 and the PRS win in play ability. What do you the in the signal chains - and especially what speakers are you using.
As a very long time Gibby player I moved over to PRS due to one very big reason. That damned neck joint!!! I just outgrew the limitations and needed more freedom but loved everything else. PRS solved all of this for me and it was an easy transition. So great job here and they are both great in what they do. I’d take that DGT.
Thank you mate, appreciate you checking the video out! Ha, for sure, in terms of playability the PRS takes the cake, I’m finally understanding all the hype surrounding these instruments 🍻
A great player such as yourself makes all the difference! The sound between the 2 guitars is not worlds apart on my end. I think perhaps the question is which one do you prefer to play? How do they sit in your lap and how was the playing experience different? I wonder if the PRS was more comfortable and ergonomic overall? Is there anything lacking on the DGT that you would change?
Thank you so much mate, that’s very nice of you! I’d say the PRS is a much more comfortable and ergonomic guitar, and in terms of playability the necks are very different both in terms thickness and upper fret access, again the PRS is effortless to play. The only thing I’d change about it is the tuners, I’d add locking tuners, but that’s an easy fix. All that being said, the Gibson wins in terms of character to me, for all it’s flaws I still pick it up more frequently, but that’s very much a matter of personal preference. Objectively speaking I consider the PRS to be a superior guitar 🍻
I have owned Gibson guitars and Epiphone Guitars and Paul Reed Smith SE guitars I'm going to be fair about this comparison with Gibson you are talking about a design that was developed in the middle to late 1950s not that many refinements to the Les Paul Standard I'm going to say this there is a very noticeable difference between a Les Paul Standard that has the Deep neck tendon then one that does not as far as sustained an overall acoustic Dynamics the Paul Reed Smith Guitars even the SE models are 30 to 40 years advanced in their design characteristics a combination of both Fender and Gibson inside of one guitar. So I don't think this is a fair comparison even the core model would not be a fair comparison because it's like comparing in F4 fighter a modern F-22 Raptor
The PRS is 900, the Gibson is 2599. I have had the Gibson, many of them. For the money and playability and the little extra versatility my DGT is hands down my favorite guitar.
Thank you very much my friend, so cool of you! The DGT SE is a fantastic instrument, I can 100% see it replace a Gibson LP, in fact I've been considering the same 🍻
Listen to this whilst looking away. You can barely tell when the guitar switches. I have USA strats, LPs, revstars, other PRS and all i have played for 5 months solid is the DGT SE. Pickups are great, coil split is great, trem as good as any on my oyher guitars, very versatile 2 volumes, light, resonant, great neck profile, the treble bleed really cleans it up with volume roll off. but most of all simply the easist to play of all my guitars. My days of buying 3 grand guitars are over....
Excellent video. Both guitars sounded great, and if i'd had my eyes closed i would'nt have known that you had swapped guitars, they were so similar in sound. I was listening very closely in my headphones. I have the DGT SE in gold and i love it. Subscribed.
Thank you so much mate, very cool you! Indeed, even though they feel quite different to play the PRS can sound very close to the Gibson, congrats on getting the gold top, these are such great guitars for the money, there's not much they can't do 🍻
Hey man, I just wanted to let you know out of probably 20 videos on TH-cam. This is the video that persuaded me to buy this guitar online. And not because it sounds better than that les Paul because it definitely doesn’t to me. But it sounds damn good and very close to high-quality for the price so thanks for the video.
That's so cool mate, you're welcome! Very glad the video helped you make a purchasing decision on the PRS DGT, they're fantastic instruments for the money 🍻
@@gabriel_guitar I've owned the mahogany version for many moons but more often than not didn't play it out as it, and many others have appreciated LOTS. Now I can have that noise on the gig again. (And 2lbs lighter!!) I purchased an SE 22 semi-hollow last year due to tweaking my back. I was floored by everything about it EXCEPT the wide thin neck. If it had the same neck profile I wouldn't have seen a need to spend the money. Very similar vibe. It too is fantastic and versatile. (Coil splitting without losing half the gain yadda yadda..) And, just over 7lbs. Geezer paradise!
One of the best guitar side by side comparos of 2 very similar sounding guitars. I own a 2023 PRS SE DGT. It is a fantastic guitar. Perhaps more refined in tone compared to the LPS. That said, listening to this comparison, I prefer to the rougher edge of the LPS. Nice work here!
Thank you mate, very cool of you, really appreciate it. Indeed they’re both excellent and have something unique to offer, the Les Paul does sound less refined and modern than the DGT SE but that’s part of the charm for sure 🍻
Hi mate, I used Tonex with a capture of a modified Marshall for most of the tones heavy and rock tones. For cleans and leads I used the neural dsp SLO 100 plugin.
Hi mate, yes, I think I can work on a metal demo of the PRS SE DGT, that’d be an interesting video to make for sure. Cheers for checking the video out and for the great suggestion 🤘🏻
Hi 👋 Gabriel, another excellent comparison video! 📹 👍🏻 Been looking into getting my 1st PRS & heard the hype about the SE DGT. Most people's demos of this guitar are non metal tone demos so your video here really helped me get a better understanding 👍🏻 I think all PRS SE guitars come with Wide Thin necks which is difficult for me to play. But not this DGT which has a unique thin neck. And the 85/15 pickups can give you the modern metal tones. Your guitar probably has the 85/15 S set but u dialed in the tone so good, it sounds just as good as your LP Standard. Thanks for taking the time to record this & sharing it with us 👍🏻
Hi mate, thank you, really appreciate it! Indeed, these guitars can sound rather similar. In terms of neck profile the PRS is very comfortable, not too thin not too thick, it’s just right and it’s almost effortless to play. The pickups are the PRS DGT "S" Humbucker Set which sound phenomenal, specially considering the price point. 🍻
@@gabriel_guitar Yes they are not 85/15 pickups. They are made to David Grissom's specs and the splits are not a 50/50 type but more 75/25. My DGT SE Goldtop version shipped today. Can't wait to plug it in.
@@Straydogger nice! Cheers for the info mate, that explains why they sound so good in split mode. I'm sure you'll love it, they're fantastic instruments 🍻
Another great video. 2 things surprised me, especially since my favorite 2 guitars are PRS custom 24s and Les Pauls. I was surprised the DGT had more mids and sounded better in the mix and that the LP was a little more scooped and sounded better in the isolated tracks. I would’ve guessed it the other way around.
Thank you mate, very cool of you. It’s interesting for sure, the PRS sits slightly differently in the mids and it doesn’t have too much high mids which I guess makes it more “mix-ready”, my Gibson at least seems to be quite a bit brighter and less forgiving, any pick noises or squeaks will get picked up. Both great guitars though 🍻
The fact that one is about twice as expensive should make the decision easy. If you didn't know the guitars being played here, there would be little to distinguish one as being better than the other. PRS DGT hands down on price alone.
The variation between the 2 guitars sounds like the typical variation between 2 of the same guitars. the LP has a slightly more pleasant bottom end, to me, but it's so negligible, especially in a mix
It's not just sound difference, that's negligible, what is a greater difference is how they feel to play with the SE DGT having 6100 frets and Gibson frets being much lower profile.
Great playing, thanks for taking time out to produce this. The price comparison is staggering, you can buy 2 1/2 PRS guitars for the price of 1 LP. How was the fret height on the PRS? I tend to play heavy handed and tall frets can be problematic for me unless I’m being overly careful.
Thank you very much mate, appreciate it, very cool of you. The frets are substantially taller on the PRS compared to the LP, I'm a bit heavy handed as well but didn't really have any issues with fret buzz or knocking the strings out of tune by pressing too hard 👍🏻
Every guitar has its own "sweet spot" in regard to amp settings. Tipically PRS pu´s are voiced diferently that Gibson PAF´s. In this example howhever it is hard to tell the difference between both guitars (of course YT compression doesn´t help...). I own 4 PRS cores and one modded SE (outstanding after being modded) and 8 LP. All have different sweet points, they all have sonic idiosyncrasies. Relevant to the listener ? Most certainly no, but oceans apart in the players mind. That´s why we, guitarist, keep on buying new guitars - which is rather idiotic. Anyway, all in all an execellent entertaining and informative video. Abraços desde terras Lusitanas!!!
All great points my friend! These 2 guitars sound surprisingly close even without TH-cam compression, I try my best to match how I play on both of them to make it a fair comparison, and once you put it in a mix context the minute differences are barely noticeable. They obviously feel very different to play though, the pickups react differently and in terms of playability they’re worlds apart, this particular PRS has one of the most comfortable neck profiles I’ve played to date even though I love the 50s neck on the LP. Obrigado por chegares o vídeo! Abraço desde Londres 🍻
Thank you mate, you’re absolutely right, and recently I started taking about the guitars in my videos, there’s actually one where I compare the PRS SE DGT vs SE CE and talk a bit about each guitar, if you’re in the market for the DGT that might be helpful 🍻
PRS´s pickups are, typically, voiced differently than Gibson´s. So they have different sweet spots, therefore different eq settings (has a rule of thumb...). More precise highs por PRS, more powerfull and sweet medum, low medium for Gibbys. We are aware that Gibson set the tone paradigm for humbucker guitars back in the 50´s, but whatever the guitar industry currently produces may (and should) go beyond that. And there is no better or worse, just a matter of taste. Never played the DGT SE but have a few PRS (Cores and SE) as well as LP´s which I both like and use them ramdomly. One remark: don´t know all the PRS´s pickups on SE series, and certainly not the ones on this highly praised DGT, but those I have used were just ok, and the guitar would definitely benefit from an upgrade. All in all a great video and outstanding play with really beautifull tones! By the way, português , brasileiro ????
Thank you very much mate, really appreciate it! Absolutely, totally agree with all the points mentioned. In terms of pickups on the SEs, I think the DGT "S" are by far the best, the way they integrate with the electronics, how they split and how they sound with the volume/tone rolled off, it's just fantastic, it's one of those rare cases where if you change the pickups on the guitar you're kinda ruining the instrument. But yeah, in general I'm not too fond of the pickups on the SE line either. Sou Português :)!
Even though the PRS is a cool guitar it has no historical mojo. Iconic players will have to play historic music for it to have a seat at the head of the table. Also the pickup switch is in a dumb place. Les Paul has it right where that’s concerned.
PRS guitars were founded by luthier Paul Reed Smith in 1985. Smith had previously worked at the guitar company Alembic, where he built custom guitars for artists such as Carlos Santana and Jerry Garcia. In 1985, Smith set out to create his own line of high-quality, hand-crafted guitars.
The origin of the PRS Silver Sky guitar traces back to a collaborative effort between John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith, as they sought to reimagine the iconic tones of '60s single-coil instruments
Both incredible guitars in their own way, but which one do you think sounds best?

It seems more appropriate to compare a McCarty 594 SE vs. DGT. Tone and volume knobs make all the difference.
I found a comparison video between DGT and McCarthy 594

What amp did you use for this comparison demo?
Hi mate, I used Tonex with a capture of a modified Marshall for most of the tones heavy and rock tones. For cleans and leads I used the neural dsp SLO 100 plugin.
The LP sounds muffled in comparison

Great comparison. Did you lower the bridge on the PRS DGT SE? In the images, it looks close to the body. Also, what are your string gauges on the DGT?
