But the only reason I'm even thinking about the McKorina is because it is korina. I've always wanted a korina guitar, and since a '58 Fliying V or Explorer is out of the question.....
Exactly the same as me Phil! No-one else is building a high quality solid Korina guitar with humbuckers unless you go custom.
As for the DGT, the trem puts me off as does the slightly clunky extra volume knob.
Yeah, custom's the other option, but that would be even more pricey (although payment could be delayed quite a bit!).
On the DGT, although I normally can't stand trem systems, I really like the PRS one, it wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me. It feels nice and positive, doesn't adversely affect tone and even seems to stay in tune when you bend strings. Lovely piece of design.
I agree about the extra volume control, it makes it look like one of those ESP LPs - which are nice, but it looks wrong on a PRS. But apparently Grissom really likes the subleties of that middle position with two volume controls. I've never been a big fan of the middle position myself, except when the pickups are out of phase.
