Anybody else digging the Wildwood DGT Private Stocks?

[aristotle]

I guess it's "Private Stock-Lite" in that it's not directly commisioned, but I've got more than a few guitars, and this thing has really won me over. DGT pickup in the bridge position and 53/10 in the neck. Super split coil tone. All things equal, trems are more trouble than they're worth for me, and the wrap tail is just perfect. Immediately went to the top of the heap and is the #1 for gigs. And (by Private Stock standards at least) affordable.

Anybody else have one of these? (they made 20 I think...)

I came very close several times to grabbing one. I think they're awesome instruments. What kept me away was that for the price point, they made 20, and there's still like 10 hanging around, and all 20 look for the most part the same (but many do sound very different, as you can hear in the videos).

IMHO, had they done 3 or 4 different finishes, in groupings of like 5 guitars each finish, it would make the run of 20 a bit more unique and limited.

Excellent.

I believe I've seen your amp wall with a different name - still love it.

Yeah...I know what you mean... They are all more or less identical looking, and with the relatively large run, I'm sure that they uniqueness factor isn't there like it is with most Private Stocks. Regarding price, it's in sort of a middle ground. It's about the same (after a little haggling actually a little less) as what a high-end R9 is. I justified it by the fact that R9s aren't particularly unique (regardless of what the finish is) and I've never sold a guitar anyway, so resale value isn't a primary concern. So, for the price of an R9, I get a super high end PRS, which plays like a dream and sounds fantastic. And, I happen to really dig its looks.

Thanks! Definitely fun to have options...both with guitars and amps. I try to gig out with most of them..

That is a beauty! I really like that run. I think it's a great combination of features. Plus, I like the folks at Wildwood too.

As for the 'Private Stock-Lite' thing, it's similar in that way to a lot of the runs from Willcutt and other dealers over the years. Still incredibly limited, great sounding, beautiful guitars.

Congratulations!

On an unrelated note, has anyone seen the Brazzy DGT PS at Wild West?

Well, I totally dig mine:

It is gorgeous, and plays and sounds great! But I got a little carried away and ordered another Private Stock, so I have this one up for sale to put the proceeds towards the new one...

Great guitar though!
