I’m just about to receive a Squire “Hello kitty” Strat…
…no need for any of this fancy wancy PRS stuff for me.
Mate, try the yamaha revstars. I would say it's one of the underrated guitars on the market
I feel the same way. I bought one last year and was astounded at the quality, feel, and sound of the thing – staggering at the price, really. I just sold my $3400 Les Paul that I tried to bond with for years, as this DGT SE scratches that Gibson-y itch while being way more comfortable to play – and the finish is so much better.
I waited a year to get my hands on one! It was worth the wait. I also have the SE McCarty 594 (not the SC version), a Gibson 2010 R7 GT, 2019 Gibson Junior DC Tribute, and a 2020 Player Strat. For amps I’ve got the Helix LT, Catalyst 60, and Katana 50 Gen 3. Good times.
I bought this model last year because I had an itch to see what owning a PRS would be like, (I'm an old saxophone player who likes to play and collect Gretsch guitars). This guitar has incredible value and I love how many sounds you can get out of this thing. You can get it to sound a bit like a 335, a strat, a tele, but it of course has it's own identity and sound. It's a lot of fun to play and if you have a gig where you can only take one guitar to play, you can cover a lot of ground with it! I'm used to playing bigsbys alot with my Gretsch guitars so the vibrato system was very important to me. This trem stays in tune when you use it! Great value for the money for sure!!!
I just got one myself a couple weeks ago and I love it. I also got one of the SE NF3 in October and that’s an amazing guitar too. I have core models also and other USA made guitars, but the SE are so great they fit in my collection just fine and inspire me to play.
Never been into PRS. This one actually seems pretty attractive allround
This guitar or the McCartney 594 ????
Man, I envy you. I have a PRS SE 594 and I just can't bond with it. Something about the neck that I just can't get on with. Yes, it is beautiful. Yes, it sounds great. Yes, it plays great. But…..something isn't right with the two of us. I've been thinking of getting rid of it and putting the money towards something I'm more familiar with. So, if I win the lottery, I'm not going PRS but instead Fender and Gibson. Yea, call me old school. I'm ok with that.
Got this as my first guitar ever, and I am now learning how to make it sing 🙂
Hated the lackerd neck and the switching. PUs are ok not great.
PRS SE line is probably the best import available. And if you catch those 33 percent off sales it’s a good. Zero problems on my PRS SilverSky. Perfect out of the box.
Team jellyfish. I gave this vid a thumbs up out of habit… I recognize the words are English, but almost none of it makes any sense to me because I have no experience at this level. Ex: I "guess" a signal chain is what you have between your output plug on the guitar and the speaker coming out of amp. "Clean", "dirty", "tap", "step up" and "down". Basically, you will have to do a whole series of vocabulary definition / examples before any of this means much of anything to me. I have never had an "in person" lesson. All of my "lessons" have been off of YouTube or from reading books.
I have a dozen different "styles" of guitar – about half are acoustic and half electric (SSS, HSS, HSH pickups) Strat, Tele, SC, 335/8, "Ovation" style roundback, and Les Paul style. The most expensive (in my budget) was $250-300 – most are under $150. I have three inexpensive amps. One is "loud" (with programed sounds), one is cheap (20 watt) and one is desktop (3 watt) battery / portable. The cheap I got included with the strat starter pack. The other two were just to see what they sounded like or because I thought I might need a carry-around amp. (I have never used it that way.) I have a simple looper, which I rarely use – no other pedals.
You mentioned one of your guitars has P90s. I don't own and have never tried this type of pickup. I believe they are modified single coil pickups. Do you recommend getting a guitar style with them or should I simply pick some up and mod one of the guitars I already own? Is there a particular genre they are suited for?
As I'm retired and on a fixed budget, I save up and then buy a style to experience the "feel" of a given type of guitar (weight, neck shape, body shape, etc). I also try to learn simple luthier skills: change strings (nylon & wire), round fret ends, polish frets, raise and lower string height, intonation adjustment, etc. I found 95% of the electric sounds are just not interesting to me (to play). I try to get my electric guitars and amps to sound like louder acoustic guitars. I think I am using my time / practice to explore / understand sounds and notes, more than to play a particular musical genre. I want to "know" how to play the Star Spangled Banner like Jimi (guitar and amp setup, bending, riffs, scales, slides, blues, etc), but I have no (very little) interest in ever playing that way myself. The same is true for rhythm, fingerstyle, lead, classical, flamenco, jazz, rock, pop, country and various blues styles. I am a dilettante, flittering like a butterfly in gardens of hardware, songs and genres.
I am learning for my own enjoyment, not with a performance (or band) objective. I feel like I have bits and pieces of notes / sounds in my head and I'm trying to "find" them. I have moved from major / minor scales (positions) and single string, 2 notes and 3 notes per string to children's and "popular" songs to try to understand how and why they (notes and time) "make sense" / feel good in a given order. I am seeking to "Grok" guitar / music.
Bottom line: I enjoyed the enthusiasm of this video even if it meant very little to me. I love exploring the feel of new (to me) guitars, but I doubt I'll ever have the resources to break that $300 price limit. Of course, I could hit the lottery – then all bets may be off… Lol
Take care, enjoy the family, and stay safe over the Holidays!
Te SE DGT, i love the gold color and moons. Do you like is more than the 594.
Funny this popped up for me as I was sitting here practicing with my DGT SE. This is an awesome guitar – I actually have an S2 594 headed my way from Sweetwater this week and I'm curious as to how this guitar will hold up to it.
Ugly color. But I would buy it if I won the lottery too. Since there is little chance of that, I will stick to my shoe box with rubber bands on it. At least it doesn't hurt my jellyfish fingers.
For now, the only electric guitar I have is a Gretsch G5220. I really wanted to get a TV Yellow Les Paul Special like the one you've got on your wall there, but for my first electric guitar, $1,800 was a bit much. The Gretsch was $600 on sale for $540, plus the $100 setup from Sweetwater — I thought that was a pretty good deal. And it's a very good guitar for the price — I love the way it sounds combined with the Marshall Origin 20 amp I bought to go with it. Got a great tone…
Maybe I'll have to look at a PRS next. I like the tone on this thing — it sounds great!
