Looks great, I think I'm going to go for a goldtop!

@robinbowes ;

I think the original speed knob shape in gold would look good.

Saying that I didn’t mind the original ones that it came with from PRS!

Finally got all the bits on the DGT SE and took a photo.
The knobs are tabacco coloured from Aliexpress. The tuners are Guyker front lockers, also from Aliexpress.
Tuners work fine. Smooth enough and hold tune well.
Speaking of holding tune I've had acouple of minor problems. The third fret has a tiny bit high so was buzzing a tad on cowboy chords. A quick bit of work with assorted sanding pads sorted that mostly.
Worse was the nut being a bit tight on the factory fitted string and on the D'Adddarios I fitted. Very cautious slot filing and smoothing with a set of those cheapo wire 'nut files' from Amazon has got it prefect. Before any trem use tended to leave strings out of tune if they binded in the slots. Worse on the wound strings but slightly present on all.
I have a Switchcraft jack socket so I'll change that next time I take the plate off the back as the current socket seems to have a lot of play in it.
The fingerboard seems nice and dark with some figuring but next string change I'll put some Monty's Montepresso on there.
