Pre-lawsuit Singlecut. It's hard to beat them.
How are they different from the post-suit models?
The best PRS that I've played was a Hollowbody II...simply a great sounding, great playing, super responsive guitar. That said, I wouldn't use one for the extreme heavy stuff in a live situation, but it was great for more classic, traditional tones.
There's no difference. It's a meaningless term. Right after PRS won the lawsuit, they started building the Singlecut model with the exact same specs as they had before the injunction.
This is what I thought as well. Same cut for the body but I think the standard pickups offered have changed.
No, they didn't. The Singlecut model stayed exactly the same. Same body carve, neck scale, bridge, and #7 pickups. PRS discontinued the Singlecut model in 2007, and introduced the SC Trem model (same 25" scale, but a thinner body, #6 pickups, locking tuners, and duh a tremelo), the SC245 (thicker body, 24.5" scale, wraparound bridge, SC245 pickups, std tuners), and the following year, the SC250 (adjustable wraparound bridge, 25" scale, locking tuners, and SC250 pickups). The SC Trem and SC250 have now been discontinued.
In recent years, they've introduced the SC58, the Stripped SC58, and the Chris Henderson signature SC, which originally had 3 pickups, but now has only 2, and with the SC250 pickups, and locking tuners, is now essentially just an SC250. Which is great, because those are awesome guitars with fantastic pickups (the bridge is pretty much a Tremonti pickup).
The Tremonti signature model started in the late 90s, with the Singlecut, and had a wrapaound adjustable bridge, wide/fat neck, locking tuners, and came with a custom bridge pickup Mark designed, and a Dragon II neck pickup, later renamed the Tremonti neck). After the injunction was lifted, the Tremonti model was replaced with the Tremonti II, which had the same pickups, but now the bridge is a trem, and the neck was wide/thin, closer to the custom neck carve PRS did for each guitar they sent to Mark.
I love the 2 Custom 24s and McCarty 58 that I have, so would like to expand into a slightly different tonal sphere. Was thinking an all-mahogany DGT standard would complement them well - any recommendations?
I'm selling a DGT.
