The single cut SEs are incredibly enticing to me and they have that wood grain on the back. It's nice the PRS does that SE line without operating a subsidiary like a Squier or Epiphone. Something about getting a quality budget guitar with the same name on the headstock seems cool to me.

I just ordered one and arrives next week. Seen very good reviews, that's why I decided to give it a try. I did have a 594 core before so very interested to see how different or similar they can be. The 594 was great but the shorter scale length from gibson didnt prefer it, so hoping to dig this one. At least on specs looks great, and the DGT too! Maybe later will grab the SE DGT and see which one I Prefer hehe and then see if going core is worth it.

Just before Christmas, PRS released a 1 time only batch of 58/15 LT pickups. These are the exact same, made in USA pups that come in the 594 Core series guitars. I say that because the S model 594, made in the USA, uses the import pickups the same as the SE models. That's confusing, but the S guitar is USA, and S pup is import. On purpose, not sure, hope not. Anyway, my intent to to buy a SE594 and swap the pups for USA 594 58/15 LT ones. IMHO, the pups are at least 50% of the voice of the guitar. They ain't cheap, $500! So for $1450 I will have an SE594 SC w/USA 594 pickups. ~$500 less than an S594 SC w/import pups, and ~33% the price of a Core 594 SC. We'll see, I could also put them in an S594 if I'm not happy with the first one. Sorry this got so long, and it is just MHO's. Thanks, 8) --gary

To my knowledge it's not a pickup SPLIT, it's a TAP at 75%. Tim Pierce actually had DG on his video talking about it. Or maybe it's a split AND a tap at 75%? The language is very vague and while there is a huge difference between split and tap, many people often conflate the two. Indeed, even the PRS website for the DGT SE has a diagram of the various possible settings and they show a SPLIT humbucker in the diagram, but CALL it a "coil-TAP." Regardless, I'm glad to hear this SE model passes muster from a person who really knows the Core model. The DGT SE might be my next guitar purchase (and my first and possibly only PRS.)

As somebody who loves Gibsons and have a few, PRS is definitely packing a punch with their new releases that they announced recently. I may have to try some of these when they come out as I'm not a big PRS fan but man they have some great offerings. Take Note Gibson! Loved that the reestablished their original and modern lineup but they need to keep things fresh. Not every SG has to be in Cherry or Ebony!

@justmehere6094 Жыл бұрын

They HAVE to black back it, because it is almost certain, the body is built from 2-4 pieces, with a veneer on top, except the GT. To keep costs at this price point, they would black back, so they don't have to match the grains on the pieces, and or use less pretty Asian Mahogany. .

@dixee6498 Жыл бұрын

Just a theory here with no real self investigation behind it but maybe they do the black backing to the models or a certain select few that have blemishes or inconsistencies of one form or another on one side of the wood but not the other? This could help to get more usage out their woodpile. Just throwing that out there.

I have to say I received my se dgt, and I used to have a core. It’s just a great guitar with zero quality issues and it plays and sounds great. I can’t tell the difference except in the appearance of the black back and my old head plate wasn’t black. I did get the se locking tuners but it’s not really necessary, I just like the look of the locking ones. Otherwise, it’s just a great guitar for the money, and money I can actually afford. No regrets or compromise in my mind at all.
