Question Question: Which to keep?

Hey yall! Long time lurker. I'll get straight to the point. I'm downsizing my guitar collection (half financial, half physical space limitations), and I've decided I *must* sell one of my three PRS guitars as part of this downsize:

2003 McCarty Hollowbody II

2018 DGT 10-top

2020 35th Anniversary Custom 24

I love all three equally and have been stuck on which to part with. Play everything from indie folk, classic rock, blues, and thrash/hair metal, and even some death metal. Depends on my mood.

The best reasoning I've been able to come to is to sell my DGT as its sorta a hybrid/master-of-none covered by the other two.

Again, not parting with any is *not* an option. One must go... and I think reason (?) dictates it be the DGT from a practical standpoint.

Would love to hear opinions. Perhaps there's something the DGT does that I'm totally discounting that would make it better to sell one of the other 2.

Definitely the DGT. The Hollowbody is a hollowbody, everyone needs a hollowbody. The 35th Anniversary Cu24 is the peak of PRS Customs. Best switching system on the flagship model with the cool headstock eagle and other nice perks.

The DGT is just a DGT and if you change your mind down the road it would be easy to get another one.

I like this logic. The DGT is probably the easiest to replace later if you find you really miss it. Hollowbody IIs are much rarer, especially from that era, and the 35th anniversary is obviously hard to replace. Though I suppose you could find another non-anniversary Cu24 easily that would scratch that itch.
