So I’d be a new player. I just retired would this guitar be new player friendly. Any amp suggestions
Very much so. Depends on budget and needs for the amp recommendation. There’s lots out there for sure!
@@coreycongilio I’ll just be using the amp manly for playing at home in the basement. I prefer tube but a quality solid state would work.
I’m a b3 player that’s want to play guitar for a long time . Now I have the time to learn a new instrument since retiring .
Thank for your advice it’s much appreciated.
@@coreycongilio btw I’ve been watching your vids for the last month or so since I found your channel. I really enjoy your playing style alot . Then I saw your lesson program and your a real positive influence. I thought I’d try a reach another life goal by learning guitar.
I wish everyone who did a side by side, did it like this. That is how it's done.
Not everyone has both models😬
@@bmark7951 fixed it for ya
💯 this is definitely how it’s done.
ah haha, someone else noticed as well!
@@bmark7951 I would think that those who do a side by side have both models available? Otherwise I am sure it would sound almost identical to itself.
The core sounded brighter to my ears. A more "open" kind of bright. Great comparison!
But not $3,000 brighter 🤭🤭
One of the best gear demos I've ever watched. This channel is the 10 top of content.
Thx my man!
With you on that. First rate for sure
Wow. That SE is terrific! Kudos to PRS and Grissom for bringing the DGT attainable for most players.
Thank you for not insulting our ears by 1) using clean and reasonable drive rather than near-fuzz levels of distortion 2)doing one guitar right next to the other rather than going a few minutes with one guitar and then the next 3) using the same riffs. Its sad how many reviews do not apply the simple approach in this video. Clear to me that the core has better more responsive and "open" sounding pickups but thats to be expected at +$4000 price point.
Your mention of "snap, snarl and bite" is exactly what I heard. There was a tad more clarity from the SE, even overdriven. Thanks for this comparison, Corey!
An amazing guitar for the price. I watched the "making of" video for the DGT SE and the level at which David is in-tune with his signature instrument is truly amazing. Great video!
Thx brutha!
Wow! I can’t believe how close they managed to get those SE pickups to the Core ones.. the SE DGT looks like one of the best-value-for-money guitars on the market.
I can’t wait to get my hands on a burst SE DGT.
I have the money to do a Private Stock, and will get one some day when I get the time to go to Stevensville to go thru the details, BUT……. I own anSE Soapbar 2, and a 56 LP goldtop reissue, and WOW!!!!
The SE is FLAWLESS!!
That being said, thanks for your comments and sound samples.
They all ring like bells. You can really tell when you strum it before plugging in!!!
PRS struck Gold with these!!!
That guy from Nashville who has stings across a 2 by 4 has kinda proved that 75% of woods don't matter. Very smart guy and entertaining. I bet some manufacturers don't care for his experiments. A real eye opener. Lol. I wanted to cry on a few. I have some expensive stuff. Speakers are the biggest difference in tone.
If any guitar is cut right and has decent electronics it's going to be near impossible to tell the difference between my Mexican tele for example and a $5000 collector Tele. I made a cheap Squire sound like the best Strat made with some lace pickups. Tuners and a bone nut.
No surprise a great makers like PRS can make a $1000 guitar sound like an $5000 one.
You are so right on here, I did the same with a Mexican Strat and it plays pretty awesome~~
I bought an Affinity Squier Tele for $139 and slapped in a set of Lollar P/U’s (52 vintage), and it sounds like a 52 RI Tele.
you could not be more wrong.
listen ...u can get an excelle t sound from a squire mex or se model...agreed but play a cs model core model etc. its night and day...its the "feel" u get the presence the whole vibe
@@lesterspirit6440 That’s the feeling I get when I pick up my Suhr Strat, after playing one of my Fender Strats.
You definitely made me want one of these! Great stuff as always dude!
Your core model DGT is awesome!!! Love that color!!! Just wanted to say, I really dig your phrasing. It keeps me coming back for more vids! 👍🏻
This is an amazing demo it captures the depth of my ears!! Great playing too, wow!! Thank you!
Nice playing, nice video, nice guitar, I own 4 PRS S2 594, se Paul's, se245, p90 Soapbar.. I'm old and had many vintage. PRS best of the past living into the future
Both sound awesome! The single coils ring out great on the SE. I’ve wanted a custom for over 20 years but this sounds amazing! Great demo, thank you! And thanks for all the lessons over the years!
Cory rippin it up! Great tones and licks. Thanks for the vid!
The DGT SE will probably my next guitar. Could hardly hear the difference between the 2 types of DGT models. Very informative demonstration between the two.
Fantastic demo! Straight to the point, ultra musical, awesome playing and tones. The SE is great value. Thanks for sharing this. First class mate!
Thanks! My pleasure!
Awesome guitar for the price for sure! Oh and ridiculously awesome playing, Corey!
great comparisons! The way you mirrored one to the other quickly really highlighted the differences between the models or should i say lack of differences. Great Job
Love the way you play Corey! And those guitars are near perfect.
Corey, this was badass great. Exceptional, crisp, delineated segments for tonal differences.
I have a couple of your courses, and these licks for the demo are as good as it gets.
A great, no BS straight shooting HELPFUL demo.
Thank you!!
the core model has that shimmer. it's more alive. it's like the difference between a modeling amp set to a Fender tube amp and a real Fender tube amp. And it's that shimmer that inspires me to play more, to explore tones and the differences from fret to fret on each string. Yes, the SE is good. But the core is excellent. Thanks to the back to back, I now know I really need a core model PRS :)
Your analogy is totally out of kilter.
Just a fantastic video! Thanks so much. So nice to see a video with just enough talking and killer playing. I find there is a lot of reviewers who talk a lot in their videos and then when they play, they aren't the best players. I want to hear the guitar played with dynamics and skill and you have that I spades! Best review so far for me!
Awesome comparison Corey, great playing as always, looking forward in getting my MTS prs se dgt
Thanks, glad you did the comparison this way.
I actually preferred the sound overall of the SE. Thanks so much for the best review I have seen yet on this model.
I bought one just like the one you're playing! So happy with it! It was worth the wait!🎸
After seeing this video I now know the DGT punches well above it's weight class. I can't justify the core's price. Thanks Corey
I used to own 4 DGTs but sold them all because I thought they had too much low end. Now the DGT SE has the SE trem with steel block and saddles, I actually like the SE better from the comparison!
Thanx for the demo. They both sounded fantastic! I'm still holding out for my PRS Corey Congilio Signature series!! Thanx again.
Sweet!!! Thanks for the demo
Corey always plays great licks but that very first lick in the opening jam - wow!
Wow - fantastic job with the quick-cut comparisons.
Great video! Also cool colour on your core DGT! I have an all mahogany DGT standard (limited run from 10 years ago) and it‘s my favourite allround guitar. The specs on these are very well thought out from the frets to the control layout to the bigger strings etc.
Interesting that you mentioned the strings as I was thinking that the minimal difference between the tones is probably less than what you'd get from changing strings. So close!
Great channel and content and thank you for sharing your incredible talent and knowledge with us all.
that champagne finish is absolutely amazing!
You’re my favorite teacher and now with youtube channel!! Please make more videos, be healthy and stay safe
Great video Corey and great playing. Really nice comparrison, I'm sold!
Superb A/B comparison. Thanks for doing that. I have ordered one.
Great comparison vid. Really shows the strength of the new SE. To my ears the core pickups are a little more organic and warm sounding. However once you kick in some overdrive they’re almost indistinguishable. As always PRS knocked it out of the park and brought a truly high end guitar to the masses.
I pretty much agree. On the cleaner tones I definitely preferred the core model. But the SE still sounded perfectly fine. But yeah once the overdrive was introduced they sounded very similar. I still preferred the core model tone slightly, but I cannot afford one whatsoever, so I would have go with the SE.
Corey, I have to hop on with all the others here. Holy mackerel, dude, this was one of the best side by sides I’ve ever seen done. Admitted long time fan, but no difference, as the praise for this one was well earned. Good stuff, Sir. Thank you.
Awesome demo Corey! I ordered mine a week or 2 ago can't wait.
Cool demo! I thought I could hear more of a difference clean (clearer and more 3D on the Core) but it seemed closer with more gain. Very tempting.
100% agree with you. For me, the gold top SE DGT is the first PRS I’ve ever considered in my life. I think this one changes the game a bit. At that price it’s a lot of guitar. Love your Core in that custom color! Like the extra clarity from the pickups. Great demo. Thanks!
Thanks Corey. Fantastic comparison. I’m interested in your thoughts on this vs the SE McCarty 594 in terms of the tonal differences.
Have a blessed day Corey! You’re awesome!
Thanks for the excellent comparison.
Wow, great video and awesome playing! I’m really blown away! As far as the tones go, perhaps I’m a bit biased because this isn’t a double-blind test, but I really liked the Core model when it came to both the clean and overdriven humbucker tones. The Core model just felt more “alive” and “open”, with some tasty heft in the midrange. Surprisingly, when it came to the split “single-coil” tones, I preferred the biting treble peaks of the SE model. I’m not really in the market for a new PRS, but if I see this DGT SE in my local stores, I’ll definitely have a go with it! Again, thank you for a great demonstration! 👍🏽👍🏽
first off a brilliant exhibition of the quality of PRS shining through your gifted hands! the sound of the core is a quality stage voice reminiscent of the greatest i've heard for all round tone eg mayall, santana, and that purity that goes all the way back which PRS have perfected at core level; to be honest, i can hear the difference in voice coming through the core because i have purchased two core prs guitars and that voice is hard if not downright impossible to equal, even with your very high skill level (only saying that's my take on the comparison); both instruments are very high quality indeed; that is the best dgt voice in both the core and se models that i have heard, and has not a little to do with the amp configuring and the guitarist; mate, i was trying to pick which you were playing with my eyes closed and then again with both eyes and ears wide open and it was very encouraging to hear the closeness of the two; at the end of the day being totally honest the zing that comes off the core is incomparable, you know what i am talking; but i am not taking anything away from the se because i have an se santana prs and she's my baby; my prs custom 24s are my other babies, and to be totally honest, i'm in love with each of them; so, Corey, you're the man; God bless you and may you make those little birds zing till the last day comes; please take this away: NEVER EVER sell a PRS that you own; it's almost as bad as selling your mother;
Sir, the jam at around 5:10 kicks ass! Love your playing and teaching Corey
They both sound equally fantastic!
Great demo. I think the SE DGT humbuckers sound great and the single coil sounds are the best single coil sounds of any split or tapped humbucker I've heard. Might have to get one of these or the PRS SE McCarty 594.
the McCarty looks great...i'd go for that too....
The Gold top DGT SE is awesome! I just changed the knobs and put in locking tuners and it’s perfect now!
SE DGT sounds great, ordered one yesterday.
Very eye opening video, thank you for posting it!
My pleasure!
Great comparison and love David Grissom and always am blown away by his live tone. Therefore, I am hopeful this DGT will bring the goods. Would like to hear people talk about fit and finish of both models though.
Great job on the way you compared the two quickly so the previous sound stayed fresh in our ears . Every other comparison waits too long between sounds and you lose it. Amazing job. The biggest sound difference to me was the hunbuckers. To me, the core humbuckers were noticeably brighter but the single coil tones were pretty darn close. Again, the way you did it is how comparison vids should be done I ordered the tobacco burst SE DGT and if I love it, I'll order the Goldtop too
There's no better value in instruments than the PRS SE line. They are amazing. I like them more because I'm less worried about hen pecks and dings and more focused on playing. Kudos to Paul and David for giving the masses another great instrument. I love my Bernie Marsden and Custom 24 SE.
Great demo as always. You sound great on whatever instrument you play.
I really like that take on a line cliche that you opened with.😊
Great review as always. I have has the DGT SE for a couple of days. In the past I have owned a core DGT. The SE sounds and feels a lot like the core. I was really surprised how good the SE really sounds.
I feel the same way about my SE Silver Sky vs my Core Silver Sky
Are the frets on the se the same size as the core? I think the core has jumbo frets but I think the see has the smaller (medium jumbo?) frets.
@@dbwproductions the SE feels like 6100 size to me. NOT “medium jumbo”
One of the best product demos I've seen, plus you're a bad ass guitar player. Well done. 👍
thx so much, Steve!
Great comparison as always, Corey! I found the core model pickups more rich in the humbucking mode, but surprisely I liked more the coil tap of the SE...
Nicely done, thanks
I have a Core 2015 SC 245 in Champagne Gold Metallic.
gorgeous, I have to have it!
My McCarty Sunburst DGT SE was delivered on Friday. I am digging it big time. I have three other PRS guitars. A 1993 CU24 10Top a 2016 CE24 and an SE CU24-08. The 22 fret configuration on my DGT makes it a different animal than the other three right off the bat. The pickups and neck shape make you want to play the hell out of it.
PRS knocked it out of the park with this guitar. Kudos to Jack for making this happen.
Core sounds brighter and more articulate, open - the SE sounds really good, but more compressed, like there's less separation between the notes.
Great video, thank you.
Great comparison Corey. Negligible difference in sounds, and I bet it feels great to play as well? Yes I love SEs, and they're getting better all the time. This one's on my list as it sounds like it may be the best yet.
Would love a lesson on this rhythm you play. Thank you, great demo.
Perfect Comparison! This is the way ;) I would NOT survive a blindtest on this one!
Picked up a PRS SE 245 recently. Came setup similar with dual coil split and tremolo built in. Plays amazing and feels like a guitar costing 2-3x!
Great demo! Very close and lots of bang for the buck with the SE IMO the core sustained a little longer and was smoother the SE had more treble.
Wow! I'm sold, thanks for your review sir
No problem 👍
Great review Corey. I have one tobacco burst on pre order, stoked!
You rock it! great demo
Great review! On clean the SE (when split) sounded outstanding. Would have loved to hear the side/side demo with a Fender 65 versus.
Damn you just made me go buy one. I just got back from the PO and picked up my prs 245. Sweet!
Arriving today…I am all nerves and excitement today.
That flame top looks incredible
I got my first PRS this weekend after watching you play them for so long in this channel. You inspired me.
Hey thx! I hope you enjoy it. What did you get?
@@coreycongilio I traded an Orange 30w Combo I didn’t have use for and received a Cherry Satin finished S2 Standard with 24 frets
Hi Corey, great demo and fantastic playing, that’s how a comparison should be done. I have owned 2 core PRS’s, a McCarty and a CE 24. Now instead I have 2 SE’s and I love them more. That is mad I know, but true. I think part of it is because I am not as worried about them getting damaged or stolen as I was with the core ones also they play beautifully.
Corey, your videos are FABULOUS!
I appreciate that!
Great Demo, through my studio monitors, they are similar, however when the Core model is played it just jumps out of my monitors, the pickups are more open and present with more definition. But the SE sounds really good too.
Awesome demo! Great playing!
The CE sounded brighter. Liked both but, I prefer the slightly darker/fatter tone of the SE. Love the looks of that CE though! I've ordered an SE from a Sydney store this morning. Can't wait to receive it. Am a bit nervous about the heavy lacquered neck though. Thanks for posting.
Sounds are great. To me, the SE neck hum was slightly darker and the SE bridge hum had more mids. The core pickups generally were a little brighter and a hint more scooped.
Nice demo. Just got a Core McCarty 594 10-Top. I'll be OK with the SE DGT when it gets here.
I can’t wait to get my gold top!! Sounds great!
I just tune in to watch you pick Corey. The "Timmy" pedal has been on my board for a while. I use it to stack with other pedals. Great video!
Great playing and comparison! Man those are close in tone.
Nice playing Sir❤😊
Astonishing!
Oh! I was wondering why that Core didn't look like a regular goldtop. I was thinking it was the lighting. But wow, that's a great color! Good choice, man! Great playing! Cheers!
This was a great side by side, I can tell a difference with the core DGT sounding a little mellower, but not a huge difference in any position. great to see PRS keeping an awesome sounding guitar in this price point.
loved this guitar model
Great comparison! I have one request, would you do a video on the HDRX 20 and show the settings you are using to get your tone, especially your clean tone. I am struggling to get that type of clean, even rolling off the volume.
