- “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
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.

That is exactly my DGT! Love it,Love it,LOVE IT!
This is my favorite PRS guitar definitely. Thank you Paul for your dedication to this craft. PRS is the only big brand that is still making it under its creators vision. All the other big Brands (Fender and Gibson) are just that: brands!
Thank you for pushing the envelope.
Wonderful statement Budda, nothing to add here. It took me 25 years to discover PRS (after the other ones) but I am glad I did. PRS all the way. Thanks for crafting such wonderful, good quality and amazingly sounding guitars!
How would you compare Music Man guitars?
@@Tanax13 The only comparison I can make is that both companies make a very nice instrument. Music Man's are nice - I dig the Luke model. You have to play both brands of these guitars to make YOUR own comparison. David Grissom is a world-class player and an absolute tone merchant - I've listened to him since the early '90's - he's never gotten a bad sound. None of us DGT players are going to sound exactly like David because your base tone and sound come from your hands. In my experience, whatever feels best in your hands is what you are going to sound the best on. Go play some guitars.
@@frankadams4586 Unfortunately, the nearest store that stock any of these two guitars, much less BOTH of them, is in another country, so no can do :/ I do have a JP6 though which I'm very happy with!
@@Tanax13 I sold a Cutlass to fund a Custom 24 Core model. No comparison, really. The neck on the PRS is night and day better, despite EBMM being relatively known for their necks playing like butter.
There is just something about the way a PRS plays. Intonation, string height, body carve. It just all comes together to be an amazing instrument, designed with the player in mind.
This is what I love about Paul: @ 2:57 he asks David if he is happy with the neck shape in such a way, with such genuine concern that is seems he will change it today! Paul; always looking for perfection!
The core DGT is more than the sum of its parts. It really has a unique character and feel. You can tell it's one person's vision.
That was great. I’ve gotta try a DGT now. My single cut prs will always be with me. Even if they become vintage prices in 30 years it will never leave my family.
A family heirloom. You just made Paul smile. Thanks for the love and loyalty, Jared.
I've been playing 45 years and my DGT is the best I've ever had. Always the go to guitar. I wouldn't think of selling it!
They spend a little time above talking about the neck shape, but never really quantify it. How is it compared to a typical Fender C or a pattern thin PRS if you are familiar with that? I have an S2 with a Pattern Thin and absolutely love it, but I've found the pattern regulars limit me.
I'm very lucky to own one of these in Vintage Cherry Sunburst; 2011 NOS from Washington Music Center(Chuck's) bought in August 2017. If you're ever in Austin: Tuesdays' at the Saxon Pub and you'll hear what this guitar and his DG30 sounds like up close and personal in the hands of Grissom.
My absolute favorite guitar. Just feels perfect for me.
We love hearing this! Thank you, Scott!
Creo que es la mejor guitarra eléctrica construida jamás. Tengo una Gibson Les Paul Standard, una SG standard y una Fender Telecaster American Original 50´s. Todas ellas son magníficas pero...esta parece ser el resumen de todas ellas. Increíble.
Awesome interview, totally frank, shows both Paul and Dave's passion and fleshes out the guitar quirks nicely. One time EG-2 (later sadly stolen) and present Korean SE owner, and one day I shall own this DGT.
wow, just stumbled across this video, for the last week i have looking to buy a DGT over here in the UK and then i see this. Definitely want one now..
Nothing will show how good a guitar is better than a lot of live playing. Mr.Grissom has put his through it’s paces and then some. It doesn’t hurt that he has owned some of the holy grail instruments as well.
This dude is a genuine badass. Love his style.
Great video, Paul. I listen to David Grissom's music regularly and also love your guitars. Happy to see the collaboration.
Gosh!... I fell in love with PRS guitars, its sound.... love Paul..... it´s great to see him so close to the guitars and artists!... It´s so personal!... love that!. I´m going to buy one of this, for sure!
The note separation is so good. That's the guitar, amp, and fingers but damn it's good.
Very nice! I love your stuff Paul.
That sound is unreal, just a sweet bark and a bit of cream on top.
im hearing this amazing tone and i'm really liking it so much
Paul is hilarious, before the artist has a chance to talk, Paul praises his guitar to high heaven. Paul never misses a chance to congratulate himself.
Could you imagine having a craft for over 35 years, and not being proud of it?
@@dimebagjosh2007 Easily, yes
Love him or not, the guy builds great guitars and he’s involved in the process at every level.
@@awkipintee Like his guitars, who knows if he's involved or not, he's a bullshitter.
@@richardmckrell4899 Aren’t we all…🍻
I own two. An all mahogany McCarty burst & a maple capped cherry burst. Best electric guitars I've ever owned in 55 years of playing.
DGT is my desert island guitar. The one.
Paul: David, tell us why you love this perfect neck, I painstakingly created for you.
David: ...Goldtop [Les Paul]... ... 59' [Gibson] 335.... 57' strat... 54' tele......
Paul: .... are you haaaaaappy with this neck??
HILARIOUS!
David is just pure tone and his phrasing is insane! please come play in CT :)
The best humbucker equipped solid body electric guitar ever made!!!!
Love your comment about the quality of the pickers there....(and I was as pro Strat back then as the guy you mention)...The first time I went thru Austin I think was '88 and we walked up and down Sixth St...every bar had a Strat player and they were all monsters and I said to Jan, "They must take all the bad guitar players out and shoot 'em."
The most beautiful guitar's" without a doubt, works of art!
I want a DGT just looking for a used one..I also had a charge account with Heart of Texas, had it not been for Ray Hennig and a charge account it would have taken me so much longer to be able to get a professional grade instrument. Maxie Rossler and Dennis Hardwick helped to make that possible
I have a Strat that has the modern deep C neck on it an its my perfect neck. My PRS Modern Eagle is slightly wider but definitely has a more rounded C shaped neck than any PRS I have played. My Modern Eagle 1 is my favorite guitar and gets played every day. I may have to check out a DGT because Davids description of his neck sounds like my Strat.
I would love a custom PRS too! ;)
12:08 -12:20 Sounds very Duane Allman like. Great tone.
Just got a 2008 goldtop from the Dallas Guitar Show. Fantastic guitar and my immediate #1
Interesting that he says he became a musician under Joe Ely; I saw them a few years ago in Chicago and David led the band, including a one-off horn section recruited the day before, and played sometimes two wholly distinct solos per song, and it was a majestic performance all around - so Education Complete.
Forget the guitar. What boots are those, DG?
I need to take one of these out on the road with me on one of these upcoming tours and give one a whirl.
PRS SE DGT for 2020 will be a great idea
Guitars can truly be personalized. r
I recently purchased an 08 McCarty ll. I swapped out the pickups for 57/08s and removed the preamp and added a tone pot and coil tap. What was a failed model, is now an amazing instrument.
Beautiful guitar.
This cool - any chance of another clip of David playing the guitar for 20-30 mins :-)
There are literally hundreds of hours of David playing the DGT on TH-cam.
I love his comment about 335. "it has a mild Burl Ives factor".
Can't wait for the se version of this 👌👌
It's gonna be *chefs kiss* tasty.
Best guitar I've ever played.
man I'd love to have a DGT one day
Go buy one. Just saw one used on Reverb for 3900.
@@chrisking6695 that would be two times my full month salary. Man's gotta eat... LOL
What happened to that 1st PRS that Paul made around 1991 or so.. had a thicker body, stop tail If I remember.. Paul brought it to NAMM. I saw/ played it before David saw it.. dark cherry burst..Love the Duane Allman licks at the end from “You Don’t Love Me”!
i played one at Asharp music in Renton wa, which sadly is closed now, but it was by far my favorite PRS, i have a custom 24 but just not the same, too bad i was too stupid not to buy it. another one of those where you put it back up because its kinda pricey, if you stretched you could buy it, but you put it back because all you see is today. time goes by you want it back, but its gone.
I was a ignorant child then. but hey, this one on the video looks sooo good!
So sweet!!
To anyone who’s played both the DGT as well as a custom 22/24, can someone tell me what’s the difference besides pickups? What’s with the neck shape? It looks just like a custom 22 with an extra volume knob to me.
When will we get a lefty DGT?
Lovely guitar, but life is expensive. 6.2% on the way to a gold top DGT, by March 23rd 2022 at the latest I should have enough $$$ and maybe will have practiced enough to have earned it. Could ya be sure and have one in stock at that point? Haha
Are the splits between the coils or partial coil? ... Or are they via resistors?
Are the volume pots linear like on a Gibson? (Better for blending)
Bwahahahaha!
@ 0:15
DG: …yeah, yeah, but you told me to play really quiet. 🤦🏽♂️
PRS: * trying to deny * That’s ok, I’m fine, go. 🤫
Ask yourself: would Jimi play a PRS?
Eventually
You say people don’t buy DGT’s then sell them. Tim Rice bought his DGT used! So there’s 1 for you Paul. 😝
As of the day of this post there are 12 used on Reverb for sale.
Does Tim Pierce have one of these?
who?
@@sugarlife485 He does now and made a vid about it recently.
Dear PRS, I’m very interested testing a prs dgt in France, but I don’t find any to touch it.
So if you have an idea bc the French seller you indicate don’t have a dgt…
Another question, I saw on ebay some dgt’s, but the price is going from 3500 to 8500. Are they some different dgt’s and if yes, what makes the gap of prices between them.
Best regards
I’d love to buy one of these but every time I’m almost there, life happens. One day Paul... One day.
We hope that day comes for you sooner rather than later! Thanks for the love, Dr/\gonfly.
I have two and I’m “Im in love”. I’m even selling my Gibson!
RIP .... my friend . The Awesome Danny Thorpe ...
who????
Could you 3D scan your favorite necks to find the nuances?
Nice sounds, it also looks like it plays like a dream. Out of my $ range though. 😭 Lol
Does this have a thicker maple cap than the 594?
Where's the S2 or SE version of this guitar? I want it, but it doesn't need to be so pretty
David made a hint that it could happen years ago but alas....
I absolutely love my DGT
How are there zero dents if that guitar is toured? Unless it’s a brand new one Paul handed Dave just for the video. Cool guitar though. I only have a core custom 24 at the moment. Would love to get my hands on one of these.
That guitar is brand new. When doing clinics and promotional appearances, 99% of the time David does not bring one of his personal guitars. He grabs whatever DGT is on the wall at the music store or wherever he's doing a clinic. The message is.....the DGT you buy at the store is the same guitar that I play. So...the demo was done at the PRS factory and that's a new guitar.
What model does Jeff Beck play?
No one lets them go. Lol ok Paul. Quick search of eBay says otherwise. Love my McCarty 594 10 top though.
What is the color and finish on this guitar! Love it!
It's Dark Cherry Burst, like the 2019: www.prsguitars.com/index.php/electrics/model/dgt_2019, which I ordered for myself in an Artist Package w/ Hybrid hardware. Can't wait until it arrives!
Yup, Dark Cherry Burst. I just that same finish on a minty 2000 IRW McCarty. REALLY pretty! (And the guitar ain't half-bad either!)
Austin, pretty much still is a Fender town.
I have a Custom 24 and it's a beautiful guitar but it's just not doing it for me. Maybe someday Paul will build me a custom as well, I seem to keep struggling to find something just right.
Get a private stock. You can get it according to your specifications.
Playing a PRS in a leather jacket with metal zippers and buttons 👀
If I did that mine would be scratched and dented in a day.
I am dissapointed with my DGT, I'm ready to sell it. It's so body heavy, it's slipped off my leg 3 times in the first day and nearly hit the floor if I hadn't caught it every time. With the neck horizontal or at a ~20 deg angle, it always feels like it is about to slip. Never had this with any other guitar
This Guitar is sweet. c];-)
Does anyone play their DGT with 9’s or 10’s??
Seems like a lot of people go to 10s. I just did with mine.
Can I buy the pickups on their own?
Nope
All my years in Austin and I still haven't met him.
Go to the Saxon Pub on nearly any Tuesday evening and you will. He's done a residency there for 7-8 years now.
@@frankadams4586 no kidding?
@@carsgunsandguitars I was wrong, he’s played there most Tuesdays since 2013 - 6-7:30pm.
All these brand names being thrown out lol
Blablabla
$4,310.00 😜
Cup Noodles hairdo.
Wow paul really loves to kiss his own arse. i dont get why, the guitars speak for themselves.
These guys get so nerdy picky I love there music but
Looks good, sounds like a turd
I have this feeling that David has been a general pain in the ass and Paul kind of tired of dealing with him.
I don't think he feels that way at all. Paul wants his artists happy for the right reasons.
cvachon7 If anything, Paula appears to be slightly frustrated and impatient that David is having a difficult time expressing himself and clearly stating his preferences.
I get the feeling that Paul is a pain in the ass.
Crickets....
Yeah it seemed like D designed it and was already thinking about how he might redo the design but couldn't figure it out because he's not a guitar maker, he's an exceptional artist. No doubt Paul made an exceptional guitar. And D should have played it for at least 5 minutes to cover its range, like the good accordion salesmen do.
I wish PRS describes in measurement details all their signature necks. DGT neck shape tells me nothing.
