Here have another.
Couldn't have done it without you.
I have both of those, and they're so fun to play and sound killer. My Studio is waiting to get packed up to go out to play tonight and the Semi-Hollow was out last week.
Mojo implies "magic is at work", and while some people don't find it with a particular brand it can still work for others.
Every advanced guitarist eventually finds a “sound” that becomes their “signature tone”. As you stated, that sound comes from the meshing of many variables...only one of which is the guitar itself. When I was a young guitarist in the 1960s, just starting out as a studio musician, I was present at recording sessions where a major artist was forced to use gear that was not their gear and not gear he/she would normally choose because some unexpected issue came up. What impressed me was how those experienced artists were able to obtain their “signature sound” with whatever gear they had available. That is a lesson that I never forgot and which taught me to be more concerned with my “chops” and less about the gear I had available at any particular moment. Today, top-end modelers like Fractal‘s make life so much easier…at any given moment we have every conceivable amp, cabinet and effects unit one could possibly want at our finger tips. The same goes for guitars, we have the largest number of extremely high quality guitars to pick from, not just at professional prices, but also at even low prices. So, it’s a great time to be a guitarist and there is no reason that everyone can have just the right gear for them…now all anyone has to do is build up their skills over time, and become a player with great “chops”!Anyway, I regret that this thread wasn't more positive, and hope this comment will not incite any negative reactions. It is just a thought I have as to why I couldn't get good sound from the SE DGT and DGT can.
I wouldn't sweat it, the original post was a vid appearing to be negative to PRS tho I'm not 100% sure as I could only stand to watch the 1st 30sec of it - if the vid is positive and I wrongly assumed the opposite, that's on Andre for giving it a click baity title that leads one in the negative direction (as does this thread's title) - so no worries, things were leaning a bit toward toxicity from the get-go. Some good discussion and info tabled tho.this thread has been relatively toxic. That was not my intention in the beginning

The way I see the SE line is that the odds of getting a dud are higher than what you would get from the Core or even the S2 lines. I have a SE MIK that I love. I bought a MII SE that just didn’t have it. It being ‘Mojo’, the controversial word that it seems to be. I sold that one.
I'll be honest, aside from my Strandberg, I haven't met an Inonesian made guitar that I like. All my Korean models are top-tier though.The way I see the SE line is that the odds of getting a dud are higher than what you would get from the Core or even the S2 lines.

(And every time I bring this up, somebody accuses me of bigotry of some sort, lol)
I keep hearing that, and I'm not convinced. At least not yet. I have yet to find a MII guitar model that, to me, is as high quality as the same model previously produced by WMI in SK. Maybe that makes me too picky, idunno, or maybe it's all just anecdotal and a string of bad luck.It all comes down to price points and specifications.

But I can't ignore my experiences, and every single Indo guitar I've ended up purchasing (aside from the previously mentioned Strandberg) has been returned in favor of a MIK counterpart.
Even the new Taiwan-made Jackson Pro Plus models have better fit and finish and fewer tuning / playability issues than any of the Indo guitars I've had my hands on.
Idunno, maybe I'm just a snob. But they definitely have a "feel" to them, which I don't like. I also can't stand the Floyd 1000 series, so maybe the problem really is with me
