NGDGT

jellyroll · October 2013

So, after all the helpful advice from forumites, I went with this PRS DGT Standard.

I was quite specific about the colour etc that I wanted (also moons, not birds) and this was available new for a pretty good discount. I actually really like the look of it; the finish is such high quality that it makes any hint of flashiness a bit more acceptable.

Only had a few minutes with it so far but the neck and weight and balance are great. If I do decide to move it on it would be because of the pickups - I'm not 100% sure about them and don't think I will be until I've spent quite a bit of time with it. I have this feeling that changing pickups destroys the character of a guitar, so if they're not right, get a new guitar!

Thanks once again for all your helpful advice. Although I'm very pleased with my purchase, you just might see this in the classifieds in a few months.

You just got it and already you're thinking of selling it? Lol

Nice score.

Thanks @guitarfishbay. I obviously didn't do something right.

@fnpt. I take the view that guitars are like partners....one must spend time together before knowing if it's really right....and sometimes you gotta just say goodbye

:-h

Well, its a gorgeous guitar and I hope you bond with it.

Very nice!

Let me know if you fancy selling the pickups alone though!

(Actually, don't - keep them in case you do ever sell it on!)

Sweet!

I rather fancy a standard to go with the other one

If you do swap out the pickups (I wouldn't recommend it, as the guitar is all about the pickups) keep them, then you have a chance of selling it on :P
