    Anybody complaining about playing blues on a PRS should be referred to Robben Ford 🙂
    After years of wanting one, I finally got a DGT last month and I´m absolutely blown away with the guitar.
    Congratulations on an amazing guitar!

    a different guitar only distracts you from playing the same and being repetitive. A different guitar also brings out a different player and enhances your creativity. cheers

    PRS is my go-to now. My 594 does everything a Les Paul can do, while staying in tune, being much higher quality and I get to feel good about the company that makes it.
    I just added a DGT to my collection this week and wow, what a guitar! I now understand why everyone goes on about the neck shape, it's amazing. And I love the placement of the volume knob. It's a keeper for sure.

    I've always been a "Gibson guy"...I played a McCarty 594, and I was sold. It's the best guitar I've ever played. It has nothing that irks me, it's just so comfortable to play, sounds amazing, and I actually play better using it. My Gibsons have been slowly getting sold off...
    That DGT is stunning and sounds beautiful!

    I have owned a DGT for over a decade and let me say from the getgo that in my opinion no one makes a guitar with the consistent quality of a PRS guitar. The initial circumstances of my purchase meant that I didn't really have a chance to play the DGT and "bond" with it. Consequently I was not 100% taken with the sound. I found it a bit too sharp and trebly, I couldn't get that creamy jazz sound. I decided to take the treble bleed caps out of circuit and suddenly it was there, the sound I was looking for from this guitar. Recently I decided to change the volume control for the neck pickup to one with and pushpull option to switch the treble bleed caps in and out to suit. Heaven! Now I can do Nile Rogers or Clapton at the "flick" of a switch. Highly recommend this mod.

    • @JeffMcErlain
      @JeffMcErlain  Год назад

      Funny. Great minds, I am thinking of similar options. David plays with a darker tone so the treble bleeds really work for him. I’m not used to them but it’s an easy fix and great you didn’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

    My experience with PRS:
    I am one of the 200 who got a Robben Ford signature … and brought it back for sale after owning it for a few months. Luckily no one picked it up and I took it back last week. So it had chosen me and just coming back from a gig I feel it teaches me to play .-) These guitars play perfectly and have the utmost quality standards. I will take it as it sounds and how I get along with it. Gibson Murphy's and Fender Master Builds are much more layers' guitars these days than any PRS … and Paul is certainly one of the most innovative guys in the community.

    This isn’t just a beautiful guitar, it is stunning to look at and hear. Also a lot of that is your playing as well. Technically you are brilliant but you have feel and that beats everything else. Good points here about guitars in general. Play what you love and play a guitar that inspires you to play. Period. I am going to look very seriously at the SE DGT which is coming to stores hopefully soon. It may end my search for the perfect guitar for me. Great content as always!

    I had a PRS "find" me as well. I was recently gifted (long story), a 97' Santana model. I've never owned a PRS guitar before and I am surprised by how much I like it. It isn't a guitar I see myself spending over 4k for, but have to agree they are incredibly well made and highly playable. There are so many stigmas associated with playing guitar that I agree, you simply have to not give a shit about what anyone thinks; play the music and guitars you love and you'll find your audience.

    The thing that finally sold me on PRS (being in the "Its for lawyers/doctors" camp) is thinking about how when in the middle of a ripping solo, your band mates turn to look at u, and they dont see that, they just see their guitar player playing awesome licks on a crazy awesome/beautiful looking guitar, and i think that pays a lot of respect to the music u are playing, it elevates and inspires everyone in the band, not just u. Ever since i had that realization, it made sense.

    I never watched Jeff until now and he is spot on with several things in this video. The weight thing. The fact that PRS’s quality control is so tight that they all sound alike without much variance from guitar to guitar. And the thing about us wanting the prs to BE a Fender or a Gibson is true.

  • @MrPrincebass99
    @MrPrincebass99 Год назад

    I have a first-year (08) DGT with a 10 top. It's heavy, at 9.5 lbs. I won't part with it. Being a bassist, the weight-with the proper strap-is no problem. It's a beast!
    I also have an '07 Singlecut Trem with a 10 top. About 9 lbs. It moves more when I play, being lighter, and sounds brighter and less dense. It also sounds fantastic. Both are impeccably built and play very well.
    I have two other PRS guitars-a Studio and a McCarty hardtail. The DGT I would keep if I could only have one, hands down. It just wails. Nice vid, Jeff. Man, I love your playing.

    As the lucky owner of a 50s strat, 50s 335 and 50s les paul, i can honestly say that although they all sound amazing (for all the lnown reasons), there is still room in my arsenal for my PRS. It has its own voice, and to be honest, its playability is unmatched. Spent years not having any interest in the idea of having a PRS. So many misconceptions were shattered when i finally picked one up.

    Congrats Jeff, beautiful Guitar, fantastic sounding. As a traditional player i let Prs for many years at the side. Tryed one, giving a chance I was so surprised and fell in love with. Now having 4 core, it‘s for me the best working and most inspiring guitars i played. I dont care what people think or say it’s my instrument that works for me. Great guitars, high quality, fine sounding. Still love Fender and Gibson, but I find my way to PRS. And honestly if you compare a Silversky against a Strat….😅. I think come on people 60 years of Instruments without any Innovation. The old guys played what was avaiable. Ofc PRS wasnt there, and now, how cares. Play what works for you, it‘s like a pen that help uns to play and wright music, nothing else. It‘s not the brand at the end of the headstock, it‘s a human player with his instrument. Love the sound you are creating with your Guitar. Cool you have chosen your instrument, that have spoken to you, unregarding the brand. I love my PRSes.

    Congratulations, that's a beautiful guitar! My fourth PRS is a DGT. I started out with Strats and Teles for a few years. The first PRS I bought was a CU22, still have it. Played it almost exclusively for 10 years. Next came the 594, awesome guitar and played it about 3 years. Next was the Silver Sky, great guitar but just never bonded with it. Then came the DGT and I haven't looked back in the last couple years. The neck is perfect, it did take a minute to get use to the large frets. Tremolo is perfect. Pickups have so many sound options, they do all I want to hear. Let the critics rag on PRS, I don't care and don't really care to play anything else. Just caught a Grissom show at the Saxon Pub in Austin and had him sign the electronics cover plate on my DGT, so it isn't going anywhere! I look forward to hearing the DGT in more of your videos!

  • @MrPopestar
    @MrPopestar Год назад

    I’ve had several PRS and by far my favourite was the DGT which I STILL regret selling :-(. The Vela was my go to clean sounding guitar for a long time and really helped me progress. For me PRS build is second to none. I gigged one for a few years and it never went out of tune - great work horses which most people don’t ‘get’. I couldn’t care about the image at my age, fool anyone who dismisses them from an image perspective. I’ve only just moved on to Japanese made Tom Quale Ibanez which, like you, simply spoke to me in the store and I wasn’t even interested in before. Enjoy !

    Congrats on finding an inspiring instrument. That's not an easy endeavor. I had a '97 McCarty DC for 10 years. I dug it's feel and it did sound good. Something was missing for me. A member of a forum I belong to brought his, first year, '08 DGT Gold Top over to try some of my amps. This was in '08. I played the DGT and dug the tone of that bridge pickup sound. I'm not a trem player but, had to search for those pickups used. I found a '08 set of DGT pickups for sale in early '09. Snatched 'em up and put 'em in my McCarty. Boom, I was now truly inspired. I played that McCarty for several years after as my #1. That's coming from a Gibson lifer. Well, became a single dad of my teenage daughter after divorcing my wife. Most of my gear had to be let go to help support my daughter. That McCarty w/DGT pickups was lost. There are only 4 guitars I parted with in my 56 years that I really want back. The '97 McCarty is one of 'em. Today, my two #1s are both Gibson SGs. A Junior and a Standard '61 model. The only thing about many PRS guitars that turn me off is "too much bling". That's all. BTW, I got my first PRS in '91. Well before the internet informed us all what's good or not! lol Cheers Jeff. 🍻

I love having 24 frets on the C24, it is also a unique “fat back” model meaning it’s the same thickness as the DGT and thicker than other C24s. It’s pickups sound really good, but my DGT has the sweetest, best sounding, pick ups I have ever heard.

    The DGT may just be PRS' best offering, all the details add up, the bigger frets and thicker strings, the neck carve, the pickups, the dual volume controls, the split sounds... If I could take only 1 guitar to a rehearsal / gig, it would be my DGT Standard (all mahogany).

    I've "nearly" bought a PRS so many times over the years but never quite got THAT connection.

Sounds ok too in your hands😜

  • @BrentAdams

    I have one of the original (2nd year maybe...) McCarty models that I fell in love with. (The older coil-tap is nowhere near as great as the newer versions though). That said, I've purchased a PRS SE 277 baritone to fill that sonic gap in my tool kit, then a PRS SE Paul's Guitar. Amazing guitars at a price that allows me to play the heck out of them without the feeling that I need to be "as careful" with them. I have never liked "Relic'd" guitars and like to take care of all of my instruments..... but if one gets a little "ding" I would prefer that "ding" to occur on a more affordable guitar.... 1/3 the price of the American equivalent. They are tools for me... and the PRS guitars, regardless of country of origin, work very well for me. That one's a beauty! I may be looking for one of the new SE DGT models after they've been out for a while....and maybe find a return or demo model! Love to save money when adding tools to my kit.

    Hi Jeff! After playing so many years with a heavy right hand and too much pressure on my left hand, I realized that almost all the players I dig (including you in my top 5 list) play with the opposite strategy. If this is something you consider relevant to note, it would be great to have a video showing how to achieve that and to take advantage with it. Beautiful guitar, but anyway the tone is great mainly because you are not ruining it with your picking hand.

    PRS guitars are fantastic - but I have never really bonded with the neck profiles. I am a Gibson guy when it comes to neck shape, and I also like a nice Tele. But the PRS neck shapes are different and not my thing. You new DGT is gorgeous and I hope you enjoy it for years to come.

      I agree on the neck shape thing. At first the thought the DGT neck was overly scrawny, but it’s growing on me, and thumb-over chords and double stops are a breeze.
