PRS DGT Core Model VS PRS DGT SE | Golden Age of Gear Ep. 34

It’s the most goldenest day on Golden Age of Gear — we’re putting the legendary PRS DGT Core Gold Top up against its budget-friendly sibling, the PRS DGT SE Gold Top. Both look stunning, both play great… but one costs five times more than the other.

We dive into every detail — neck feel, pickups, build quality, hardware, and that elusive “vibe” factor that can make or break a guitar. Does the Core deliver a $5K tone and feel, or is the SE the ultimate bang-for-your-buck PRS? You might be surprised at what we find.

Along the way, we share PRS stories, talk about why some “imperfect” guitars inspire more than flawless ones, and put both guitars through the Golden Revv D25 JL Edition to see how they really compare in a real playing situation.
