In the PRS video Dave describes how the coil split is a 75% mix rather than a full split to give it a Gretsch type sound
Yeah i don't see ohms at half when he split it.
its actually not a split its a tap. 2 totally different things
@@lischultz14 👆
The Moon inlays were the original inlays, the birds were supposed to be a special thing on request, I knew a guy that had a PRS with the moons.
I didn’t know that. Thanks
Paul said in 1985 he thought maybe the birds could be a special order type thing and the moons would be standard but it turns out most people wanted birds so it became the standard on all PRS models.
Dont any of you ever actually pay attention to the specs. These are not coil splits there coil taps. 2 completely different things.
Cor-tek are really killing it at the moment - they're making the very well received PRS SE models, their own Cort guitars are very well specced midrange guitars, and as of this week they're reissued the DOD/Digitech pedal line having bought the brand last year.
What? Cort are reissuing DOD effects??? Wow! Hearing that’s made my day! I have several DOD effects that are now non functional due to severe abuse! I hope they’re manufacturing them the same way DOD did!
@@terrypussypower They've got some of the original DOD/Digitech people back and they've just started making the pedal line as it was when Samsung shut it down, excluding a couple they can't get the components for at the moment.
@@philwildcroft1764 It would be really cool if they put out an updated Trio + pedal. They could make that REALLY useful.......
Confused, did PRS clearly underestimate the demand for this new product even after they basically made and released a multi-part mini-documentary just to hype it. 🤔 This guitar is amazing!!!...uh sorry, we only made 10
They are just now hitting stores for the first time. I don't think the first batch has even been delivered.
I ordered mine from Sweetwater right after they released the promo videos. The sales rep said PRS was saying they'd be getting the first shipment by mid January but they rarely make those deadlines. I haven't received mine yet but I'm looking forward to it.
@@johnnewton1830 I think it depends where you live as to whether any stock has been available. There has been a batch delivered and sold out (arrived in January) in the US and Australia (strictly speaking as I type I know of two still showing as “in stock” on Aus websites so maybe not all sold yet if their stock level is accurate). I think Europe is still waiting and I’m unsure about other locations.
@@mwilk19I ordered mine from sweetwater, estimated my delivery for June , goldtop 👍
Partially, is to make the hype bigger...
I mean afaik they do check each unit at their US location after in arrives from Indonesia... Probably they want to make sure no lemons get out, but they also released multiple new SE's so, probably they are stuck there at QC ...
Nobody knows if they had to "send back" stuff to Indonesia. If they did, they wouldn't make it public... I see current SE lineup as trying to be the de-facto quality-wise guitar within the $600-$900 bracket.
I really dig this DGT on paper, I would love to hold one before buying thought 😅
David Grissom was first person I ever saw play a PRS. Way back in 1985. We had along discussion about after his show.
Would like to see tone and volume control in your demos. So much you can do when plucking and soloing, chords as well. Just a thought.
Yes, would be nice to see vol taper, and treble bleed in action and tone control range.. would only take a few seconds
Wallmart
It's not a Les Paul but it sounds good. Kinda ugly.
If kinda means very, yes.
That bridge isn’t set up correctly. PRS has very detailed instructions on how to set it up on their website.
The crescent moon dot inlays were a PRS feature in the beginning of the PRS brand.
I have a guitar from the early days that features this design.
Sitting in Canada waiting for my pre-ordered DGT SE to arrive. Glad that you showed that it's a dark back. Until now, I was under the impression that they had black painted backs.
Me too (waiting in the UK in my case) - really chuffed to see it's a dark back, not black.
the SE guitars are amazing. Paul really made sure of that.
I just got the McCarty and I absolutely love it.
Partial Coil tapping .....not splitting...
Zzzz... Meh 🎈
My biggest complaint on this is the knob color is just awful...
I'll agree to that
That’s my gf’s biggest complaint about me
A double cut Gibson Les Paul guitar with a style Strat tremolo... that's all PRS does...
I mean… no, not really. What a weirdly reductionist thing to say.
Grissom probably insisted on Moon's. His preference
I brought the DGT SE gold top, it's a really nice guitar, my only complaint is that mine and a friend, that brought the same DGT gold top, we both had to replace the input jack, highly recommended to put a SWITCHCRAFT input jack, it's a great guitar 🎸
I don't like the birds I like to have moons
Hope they will offer more colors because those two one are not appealing to me at all
The fit and finish on this was a just as good if not better than the $3500 Duce that Trogly reviewed.
I have the Santana SE. I put some burst buckers in it, really brought it to life.
I think the PRS pickups are garbage. I don’t get the hype around PRS guitars. I like a little more characters in my guitars.
I've always meant to put some aftermarket pickups on my first-year Santana SE. Wonderful-playing guitar, but the stock electronics, room for improvement.
@@ja8ames I went back and listened to Santana, his tone is kind of flat like that. I guess his Mesa amp help liven it up, maybe. Get yourself some other pickups in there.
I'll be looking for a "used" one to show up...... Great sounding guitar. These also have very specific David Grissom neck carve on these. David was adamant about getting everything "right" on the SE versions of his Signature Guitar. The PRS SE guitars are amazing.
A used guitar that's just now being released?
@@johnnewton1830 Yep! I can wait....and it happens more often than you might think.....with Demos and such.
I was thinking about a used one as well, if you buy a new the shipping is usually free from Guitar Center or Sweetwater. If you find one used you might wind up paying the same money as a new one considering the shipping. Just a thought oh, good luck.
@@johnnyblevins3846 I've found great used guitars through Dealers that also offer FREE shipping on the "used" or "Demo" models. That's what I look for. Shipping can be a killer along with buying through Ebay or Reverb where the seller usually raises the price to make up for the fees they charge the seller + the shipping! (I have contacted sellers found through these sites & offered to buy direct with the same guarantees. That has worked and got me a lower sales price because it save the seller money! Also if it is a Dealer, I ask for a "Deal"... and usually get them to drop a little off their price as well.)
I am the first view! Boooyah!
I love the moon inlays and the fact that it doesn't have plastic binding. I've come to the way of thinking that pastic binding on a guitar neck is just more inorganic material that doesn't need to be there. I am seriously considering one of these as the core range has gone out of my price range.
It’s a good looking guitar and pretty much 98% of the feedback is extremely positive and for the money that’s amazing! I have one on order and will sell my gold top SC245 when it arrives.
I enjoyed the content of your review. Thanks!
Uh, you do know the difference between mahogany and maple? the binding is a solid mahogany top...

I don't even like gold top les pauls. Certainly don't like ones with tremolo. Too fender
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmm
You have to be joking. The pickups ARE the only thing I thought were bad in this guitar, and the middle position split has THE most unpleasant sound.
You should definitely also try out the core DGT model. I think the DGT is one of the best PRS offerings, where several factors that DG changed about the regular PRS models just add up to produce a greater whole: the trem with the 5 springs (core model), the bigger frets and w11s strings, the pickups, the dual volumes, the neck shape etc.
Jj
Imagine buying an Epiphone when PRS SE exists, quality control is insane even on this cheaper category
I wish they did an option of the higher price body (where you can see the wood grain veneer) but with the moon dots. I hate the birds!
I'm pretty upset about some of the things Gibson has done suing other companies. I have a guitar that has a headstock that looks like PRS. Paul Stanley Sovereign special I don't think they're out trying to sue everyone are they? Too that the pprs is not still made in Korea
Where can I get that nut width measuring tool?
I know they aren’t new, but I’d love a review and demo of the SE Hollowbody II Piezo, is it really worth $1600?
The exaggerated upper horn on most PRS guitars is something that I can't get past! Why make a guitar so ugly when it serves no purpose, as the single cut models do fine without it! Ugly pointy-assed Ibanez type guitars are not even a consideration also!!! Life is too short to own and play ugly pointy-assed guitars!!!
For the first time ever I preferred the split coil tones more.
I don’t think I would be happy with a guitar that has its control covers mounted on top of the wood like this one does. Even $200 guitars are routed for their covers.
I play left-handed and I don’t like gold tops. They look weird to me what size the majority Guitars for a lefty or either black or red
First.
Are the pickups Brite almost like a single coil, that's what I like, they sound like it. I like the 25 inch scale aswell.
if that guitar came to me it would be going back nearly £1000 dust and grit paint job glue on some frets scratched changing my mind
PRS' moon inlays looks like theyre toe/fingernails
No disrespect intended, but this guitar sounds like crap and it shouldn't.
5 seconds of playing per mic. why????
2 points trem is better so no way here
no good neck joint : no way
09 46 : not here
Loosen up that claw and let that trem breath - JB
Always loved the moon inlays. A Wood Library Silver Sky with moon inlays, oh my.
I have a PRS SE 24 and it is by far my favorite guitar. I have 11 others including a Taylor T5. The PRS is an outstanding instrument
Cool inlays
Honestly I always perceived the SE models as trash. Always said I’d never buy any guitar made overseas. This one is different. The pickups are good and the neck carve is nice. Couldn’t justify spending so much more on the Artist (Core) model. Waiting on my preorder from Sweet Water.
I used to feel the same way about Taylor’s Mexican made instruments. Honestly, I started playing guitar in the late 80s and never paid attention to Taylor at all until the T-5 came out in 2005, at that time I also discovered the 600 series models. I had never even looked at any other Taylors besides those two lines until the guitar store that I call “my local guitar store” (it’s actually about 30 miles away from home) became a Taylor dealer in 2020 two weeks before Covid started shutting everything down. I went in that week to see their first shipment, because I wanted to look at T-5s and 600 series models. They didn’t get any T-5s, because they’re also Fender dealer and we’re focused on selling the American Acoustasonics. The only 600 series model they got (a 614ce) was the first Taylor they sold so there were no 600 series model’s either. However, a Koa GS-Mini caught my eye, and I just loved it. I ended up going back and buying it a few days later.
The ignorance in this "review" is astounding.
PRS seem really nice, but I gotta say the huge heal on the PRS (where the neck meets the body) has always bugged me. The double cut Gibson LP Special is much smaller and more comfortable. (to me). At about the same price. No splits but you can get P-90’s.
Yeah but this will have better QC than the DC
✌️
Waffles🧇Waffles🧇Waffles
i had that for lunch lol
This is the first Trogly video in a couple of years that I won't bother watching, I still gave it a thumbs up
And?
I got last week and I would definitely gig with it …Really versatile ..so now it’s time to look at the comparison between this and the Core model.
Digital clipping running amuck.
One of the best sound demos I heard from you trogli
These new SE models are the guitars that every player wants in there collection... No matter what style of music you play. Just fantastic builds .
Beware of the scammers
There won't be any lefties queuing up for one
@@peejay6930 lefties? Hang on ! I thought we burnt them all back in the middle ages? 🤔
Not me that guitar is ugly AF
Idk an SE Custom 24 is a little more appealing.
Looks like they omitted the resistors on the coil cut switch, which is a feature of the core version of the DGT.
Not hard by any means to add yourself after the fact
Looks like a Treble bleed??
At Sweetwater you can ask the Sale Engineer for a discount. I was able to get the PRS SE DGT Tobacco Sunburst for $780.00!
They've been on order for months now. I just checked again and still on backorder. I see them for sale in other places and in stock. I like Sweetwater but I am getting really impatient.
Well, I got my Gold Top in December 2023. Well worth the wait I say!
ill take the byrds everytime
I know, I love the birds and the PRS headstock. I don't get why people don't. It literally separates PRS guitars from anything else. How many guitars can you tell what they are by the neck, or contours of the body?
Whats happening?!?!
Try out a Brent Hinds Epiphone Flying V :)
Lube the toggle:)
Sorry, but your crazy. That baby is gorgeous! And sounds wonderful. Three snaps up in a triple zee formation for this git.
I guess a reasonable substitute for the core model. Surprised the trem was angled and hitting the body - PRS always says their trems should float parallel to the strings.
He'd slackened the strings to take the pups off. The trem springs will deck the bridge whrn there's no counteracting tension.
@@PaulCooksStuff Looked decked when it was removed from the gig bag.
@@AndyK.23 I've rewatched and you're right. It's odd because other reviews are definitely floating (eg Phil McKnight).
I have a Billy Martin PRS Signature if any Good Charlotte fans want to buy it!
I never could get into PRS SE, every time I tried one out at my local guitar shop I quickly eliminated from the short list of potential candidates. They are nice looking guitars but there is something I don't like about playing them that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe one day I will find one I like but I have tried over 10 different models and each time I arrived at the conclusion...nope...not for me.
This would be the only PRS I would buy…. But I’m a lefty, so … nope not available… thanks PRS.
I don't know who they haven't gone to using two volume and master tone controls on the other guitars, the master volume/tone layout has always been such a drawback. As much of a pain in the ass as it is on the solid bodies, it's absolutely insane on the Hollowbodys, it was a deal breaker 15 years ago when I bought a 335. Most semi hollow players leave the pickup selector in the middle and use the volume controls to dial in the tone, which is impossible with a master volume unless you want to replace it with a dual stacked pot or replace the tone with another volume, which is something I couldn't do, I ride my tone knob almost as much as the volume.
I was impressed with the SE 594s, a bit less so here. I hate those speed knobs on the SEs, not that they can't be swapped, but they're dumb anyway.
Naysayer here. That is a very dead, yet plinky sounding guitar (and I own a core PRS). The gold is a terrible hue too, pass.
I appreciate the birdless fretboard and no silly 10 top. Has anyone ever seen a 9 top? or even a 2 top? NO, they're all fkn 10 top. Scam likely?
You sure that bridge should setup be like that? I always set mine up parallel to the body (like a 1-2 mm gap under it), not sloping backwards like yours. This way it won't take much effort to use the trem.
I love the fret markers and never was a big fan of the birds. Just my opinion..
I’m not a fan of PRS’s doublecut style 0:48. It’s halfway between something and nothing, and is the definition of “meh” as far as guitar body styles goes.
Now, their single cut style 0:15, on the other hand, is perfect imo! It’s like an elegant version of the LP.
In my experience the doublecut serves more of a purpose of comfortability if you like to play up higher on the fretboard. The neck doesn't start to thicken until about the 17th fret whereas on a single cut it will usually thicken around the 14-15th and force you to stretch from lower positions than a doublecut would
What's funny is my older Harley Benton cst24 come with the same bridge stock
Tones are more mid sounding see the video that explains it. I want one but don't want either color
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the core PRS moons go through all the phases along the fret board, with the full moons at the 12th fret. This guitar has the same crescent moon on all of the inlays.
I had the original PRS SE, The Santana model. It's a great guitar.
It's a Damn shame that this guitar made in Indonesia is 10 times the quality over anything Gibson makes !
And only costs $900.
Seriously. My McCarty SE is just as nice as my Les Paul. Sounds awesome, plays so good, and looks so slick. Its fast becoming my favorite guitar I own, and I own a bunch.
And better finish and quality control than yesterday’s Duesenberg
@JohnnyArt Pavlou
Yeah, so.
They're still better build quality than anything Gibson.
It's hard to understand why ya'll love Gibson so much when they're so cheaply built and their quality is still all over the place, including the Custom shop.
With the prices being normal, double everything else.
Even the cheapest stuff is just as good quality and build as anything Gibson makes and sounds the Damn same most of the time.
Lmao 🤣
It's Sad in my opinion because they are built in the US "by hand" NOT. But whatever.
The worst thing is these Murphy lab bullshit guitars being triple the money for something that looks like shit but is new.
Shame about how Cort treats their employees like dirt. Oh, but at least you got to save some bucks.
@@MTCKIE68 The name on the headstock holds a magical power.
Anybody know music stores in ohio that give a Veterans discount by some chance?
Not a maple veneer, but a cap or top (thicker and heavier than a veneer.)
I find their necks are a little chunkier than I care for but do love PRS.
They need made more lefty SE's, only 1 model the custom 24.
Thanks Trogly I appreciate your work and dedication. Aloha!
Trogly, please check a Revstar one of these days
aluminum pots or stainless steel ? asking for blonde wife ?
The Backcolour from Gold and Tobacco are the same?
Do I believe the hype on these or go with an Epiphine SG 61?
Cool fretboard inlays. Sounds kinda thin
The PRS Goldtop doesn't look as great, since there is no white/ivory binding. The Maple strip is out of place. And the dark stained Mahogany back meets the Goldtop in all the wrong places. An all Goldtop body with white binding would have been a better finish.
Would those be the parts and specks you are looking for?
PRS really shopped these around, anyone with a TH-cam channel has been reviewing these, John Bolinger to Phil McKnight, Tim Pierce had Dave Grissom on his show and now Trogley. Wow. No matter what anyone thinks, there hasn’t been a negative review that I’ve seen yet. But, I’m still not interested. Nothing can replace my Hondo ll 😀
Paid interviews paul is a car salesman at heart. I have seen to many se guitars with lose input Jack's ruff fret ends, paint issues. No thanks. I will stay with s2 for budget prs.
that flat part on the heal joint looks bad LOL
