Heres a pic I lifted from the magazine.

That's the cool shot. LOVE IT!
What's all that white stuff near the trem? Did he tape the selector switch to stay in the neck pickup position?
It is a puzzling setup all around....
Selector switch bondaged into 'neck', he's got a tremolo, but no bar....
I'm guessing he never uses the bridge pup. He also appears to refuse to whammy...
I don't know what's the deal there....but he's an "owner" and I love that!
There seem to be a lot of PRS players that buy the guitars with the trems without ever using them. The trem apparently contributes to the sound in a way that appeals to people and for some, it is more comfortable as a hand rest than the stop tail. I like both. I have a DGT Standard and almost never use the trem. But I love the sound of the guitar and the feel of the trem is nice.Quote:

Not using the bridge pickup is interesting though. Maybe that's just his signature sound?
I was going to say the same thing but then I thought, "no I don't want to open that can of worms, so I'll let Duncan do it" LOLQuote:

Even a Goldtop with half a roll of tape on it is cool in my book. 'Course, that's just me.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I don't have a Goldtop PRS of some kind. Maybe someday...
'Goldtop-less'
That would be me. :) Never use the trem & sometimes will block on certain guitars...to me they play easier than the stoptails, and I like the neck angle better. They seem to have a slightly more "airy" or "open" tonal quality to them as well IMO.Quote:

That aside, as this not being a DGT thread, I love Dave's McCarty...I'm not sure what's up with the tape other than he REALLY doesn't want that switch to engage the bridge or mid.
I just love how he's got that thang out there working! He's not concerned about the resale value on that bad boy....OWNED. Oh yes. :rock::top:
Well, my dgt is black and it's all hog to boot. Pretty good sounding mistake if you ask me ;)
Cool, I'll have to check that out.
Great band to see live too.
