Over the last 3 years every prs ive picked up has blown me away, good job prs team.
I own 20 electric guitars and 5 are PRS from Core to SE models....i have my first electric bought in 1976 a Les Paul Custom tobacco burst,a 65 Strat + 3 other Strats and then a variety of others....PRS are exceptional guitars....But what's exceptional is Paul himself!....I was at the 2020 Namm show and I was at the PRS room and I was lucky enough to be right at the spot where came out of a curtained room and stopped and spoke to me for 20 minutes....as an example,2 other buisness/official type gentleman approached and rudely stepped in and cut me off while I was enjoying my conversation with Paul.....Paul immediately politely scolded them and said " can't you see im talking with this gentleman " and continued to talk to me for 15 more minutes....What a class Act!!....if he ever reads this,he'll remember the moment!
That DMO has a ton of high end! So defined, but not shrill or harsh. Seems like it’s a very merciless pickup. If you mess up, everyone will hear it. But in the hands of a great player it’s one of the many components to make magic happen.
The covered McCarty III pickups sound incredible
Great team who keep music moving forward! Thanks PRS!
I am becoming more and more of a PRS fan.thank you.
Prs on killing it 2025, im excited for this year.
Hope to try DMO with a nice PRS soon, I would love to check em out!! Happy to see the passion behind!
Been a strat player for the last 20 years and never been into Les Paul/humbucking guitars, or any other guitar besides the strat… then I played a WoodLibrary 594 a few months ago and it blew me away. Had to buy it. It’s the first humbucking guitar that made me re think strats, and its slowly becoming my favorite instrument. PRS is the culmination of respecting the past but adding an extremely well taste modernity pinch on their products and it’s just the sum of details over details that won me over. If every CEO was as worried as Paul in the products they make, the world would be a better place
For a long time I was very unimpressed with PRS guitars. I played a bunch at high end guitar stores like Chicago Music Exchange and they were all dead sounding. Lifeless and numb. I made a friend at a local dealer and told him about my experiences. He was shocked. He handed me 4 guitars. An SE CE, an SE DGT, an S2 McCarty 594, and a core DGT. I was shocked. They all blew me away. I get it now. I will be buying PRS guitars from him forever. They were so good that I would sell every guitar I own for one DGT core.
I recently got my first Core PRS, and I’m blown away by the pickups. There’s a magic to them. I can’t imagine how good these will be. Gotta save up for a 594 now 😍
Im happy with the SE pickups, so these cores are probably some of the best ever made. I love the brighter chimey humbuckers
Those DMO pickups sounds so good.
congratulations guys. I know you've all been working long and hard on these.
What a beautiful sound from both pickups types. And the guitars i have seen are wonderful delight crafted. Congrats and thanks to the team to offer another good choice of well crafted guitars and not only that other over priced old brand we all know. The passion I feel from Mr Reed makes me feel confident.
I've played PRS guitars since '96. Since then, I've seen a LOT of change with PRS guitars, pickups, hardware, etc. Specifically, over the past 10 years, the pickups and their naming has been insane. 57/08, 59/09, 85/15, 58/15, 58/15 LT, 58/15 LT+, 58/15 LT TCI.... seems that change just for the sake of change is the way it goes at PRS. Meanwhile, the only pickups that people really want are the DGT's. Anyway, every time I hear about a new pickup from PRS, I play my old McCarty (with original McCarty pickups) or my old Custom 22 (with Dragon I pickups) or even my SC245 (with 245 pickups) and I really couldn't care less about whatever the new thing is. You guys got it right enough times in the past, why keep creating confusion with your customers by replacing perfectly fine pickups over and over? I can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in R&D - replicate the Suhr Thornbucker, put them in every guitar, and stop this madness.
Excellent video! I'd love to see more like this, specifically more about the NF53 pickups & electronics; those pickups/controls interact in a way I've not experienced in 40-years of playing. Really looking forward to trying both of the new pickups~
Mad Respect for the continued pursuit of tone and yes the pickups sound great, but story is very reminiscent of the DGT pickup development and tone. Either Way Bravo!
These guys have the best job in the world
