Sound Pure's Take

Weight: 8.05 lbs.

Over the years, David Grissom has been the face of PRS Guitars, and his playing will show you why. Easily one of my favorite blues/rock players and the PRS DGT model is part of his signature sound. This Goldtop is stunning in person, and the custom DGT humbuckers really shine through and give you a vintage PAF-style sound. With the added versatility of the push/pull pots, you can virtually combine the 2 most iconic single-coil and humbucker tones into one guitar and not have to take any others to the gig. We give this one a huge thumbs up and highly recommend it to someone looking for a classy, versatile instrument! 

From Paul Reed Smith Guitars

The DGT (David Grissom Trem) is the result of more than 20 years of collaboration between Paul Smith and David Grissom. The DGT is based on the McCarty with a unique DGT neck shape, taller frets, special pickups, and a revised control layout. Grissom and Paul spent a year A/B-ing more than forty sets of pickups before nailing the vintage-voice of DGT humbuckers. When paired with individual volume controls for each pickup and a push/pull master tone control that operates the coil taps, DGT pickups provide versatility and articulation.

“The DGT is a product a lot of miles down the road: a lot of gigs, a lot of records. It’s like picking up a vintage guitar. It sounds like a vintage guitar, and out of the box it’s ready to go. There’s a whole lot of thought gone into this. The DGT is pretty perfect to me.” – David Grissom
