Dependable tonewoods

David Grissom favors classic tonewoods with a familiar sound, which makes perfect sense given his work with artists like Storyville and John Mellencamp! The PRS SE DGT stays true to his rock roots with a comfortable resonant mahogany body. Mahogany delivers rich, warm tone with strong critical midrange; complementing that is a gorgeous maple body cap for a classic look that adds a touch of brightness and snap.

DGT neck carve

Whether you're playing rhythm or leads, this guitar’s neck carve, the DGT, is your ticket to rock. The DGT carve sits close to PRS’ acclaimed Pattern Regular neck carve, but features modestly enhanced shoulders for a touch more substance than your standard “C” neck. The DGT carve especially improves playability on the lower strings; it's ideal for versatile players, especially those who favor bluesy stylings that demand great playability on all six strings at either end of the neck.

Texas-tinged “S” DGT humbuckers

Taking inspiration from the Lone Star State stomping grounds of David’s career, two onboard “S” DGT humbuckers deliver vintage-inspired, smokey Texas-tinged tone. For the original DGT, David and Paul Reed Smith personally spent a year testing and refining 40-plus pairs of pickups before narrowing the options down to these two masterpieces. “S” pickups like these DGT humbuckers let you benefit from all the R&D that went into the original version, but at a fraction of the cost.

Custom controls

The SE DGT’s pickup controls are extremely customized and gig-ready. You get a volume knob for each pickup, which makes switching and blending onstage a breeze; meanwhile, a push-pull master tone knob gives instant access to high-quality single-coil tones. The pickup selector is also scooted back behind the bridge, so you’ll never hit it with your strumming hand during a set. It all adds up to more proof that David’s “signature” on the PRS SE DGT is much more than just a rubber stamp.
