Cool guitars though the neck joints could be troublesome on them. I like them so much I've got two of 'em. Link to post Share on other sites
unfun75 811 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The Mira is actually a very nice, USA-made PRS. Paul's trying to maintain a toehold in the mid-priced market with a set neck guitar, since even the Standards are over $2k street these days. I played a couple of the Prototypes and early run models and although it wasn't for me, it is still a really nice guitar. The pickguard admittedly turned me off visually on that guitar right away. The DGT is a FAR more impressive instrument for not all that much more $$. I bought a used Mira from GC but returned it before the 45 days were up. Very nice guitar with lots of tones via the coil-tap. Def not "import" quality or "import" looks. I'd like to buy one to keep one day. I think they are one of the best buys on the used market for a USA guitar. I'd like to try a DGT, too. I like the idea of a PRS with the Hamer 2 volume, 1 tone layout. The plain top, moon inlay DGT's are reasonably priced, but still expensive. I'm gonna wait for a used one. Link to post Share on other sites
santellavision 1,094 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The DGT is spectacular. I've owned over a dozen PRS's and the DGT is the best one yet. FYI, I may be unloading my DGT (Unemployment issues) Keep an eye on the 'For Sale' section in the near future! Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyB 3,356 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 For a bolt neck import, I favor the G&L Tribute series. Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 4 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 My Hamer is an import and it is unbelievably good - as is my G&L Tribute ASAT. Link to post Share on other sites
silentman 128 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 If only the PRS DGT had 24 frets. Link to post Share on other sites
