- BOTH PICKUPS SPLIT. BOTH SPLIT. BOTH SPLIT. I WAS WRONG. BOTH SPLIT. BOTH PICKUPS SPLIT.
CORRECTION:
Apparently the split DOES split both, but this DGT was bought used and the previous owner may have disconnected it. time to reconnect it
I remember when I first heard David Grissom and was blown away. I hope you enjoyed this video!

Definitely interested in the comparison of 594 and DGT
I need on of these in my life. Thanks Buddy!
Awesome playing, guitar and amp sound great together. Nice video!
Thanks a lot!
I am very impressed with the tone of that amp.
It was nice to hear it played clean some. It does that very well. I am looking to add one.
Hey! Great playing brother!!
DUDE! big fan! Thank you so much!!
Someone’s been practicing his Dave Grissom licks!! Great as always dude
Man.. I tried my best. No one does it like he does. Those double stops etc...
Delicious. Stumbled upon this video for the gear. Stayed for the playing.
Awesome! Thank you!
I was in the market for a 594 and then I saw the DGT and I played both the one thing that got me was the neck on the 594 and how the only the bridge pick up was working I didn’t understand that but this is the only video so far that I’ve watch that reviews the two guitars and I will say this I missed your shows while you’re on vacation I’m glad you’re back man iI look forward to keep watch more
Great video man! You've given me a very hard choice between a martin 00-28 or a prs for this christmas!!!! 😂🤣
Awesome vibes - you got it dialed and almost burst into some Magic Sam’s Boogie there for a second. Tasty.
I'm glad you noticed!! No one does it like Magic Sam!
Great sound Buddy!! You love DGT! Would be great to hear the DGT 15 new amp review!
Love he almost never gets off of the bridge pickup! That explains the controls.
I’ve a few PRS and what gets me about every single one is that the tremelo’s (gear-shift) hardly ever go out of tune. I hadn’t had one of them setup for almost 2 yrs because it just played and sounded so great and when I picked it up again… voila’! It was perfect, still.
Luv my PRS’s but the prices have shifted out of my favor and keeping me from buying anymore. Glad you’ve gotten yourself a few to enjoy.
Now I’m into pedals because of YOU!!! Haha
Best ✌🏼
Hey BB... your slapping technique is off the charts!
Thank you! I've always wanted to be a proper bass player haha
Great videos Buddy, I'm a new fan. Also a new convert to the 594 family, my Les Paul feels emotionally betrayed, but I have to say the 594 is the better all rounder for me. Keep the videos coming
Welcome aboard! My Les Paul is giving me that look that says: "You're gonna sell me aren't you?"
Appreciate what else and where law might we dive deeper w this amp regarding clean towns and pedals you enjoy using w
Thanks dude, good quick sound ex.’s and yur funny 🤟🏼
I have that same 594 in color, which is super awesome. I see where you're coming with the sound comparison and the desired trem. Nice playing and nice video 👍. Looking forward to that comparison video. 🤔
Thanks so much for watching! I'll be filming that soon
Holy shit that and you, sound great!!!!!
Buddy your music budget is enviable
He’s clearly rich
Crap I didn’t expect to get arrested today but here I am. 10/10 vid buddy as always

Another great video, pls make the 594 vs DGT comparison!
Heck yes!
Wish I had a PRS DGT! 😃
David Grissom and Joe Ely (the wrong order? (and John Mellencamp)) Was my favourites in the 80's) and I was lucky to hear, Joe Ely and DG "Live in Copenhagen 1987".
My now wife and I, was almost the only ones at the show! One of the best shows I've ever been to, and I got to hear my favourite guitarist play all night!
We were young, drunk and happy, and the band were playing for us! As far as I remember he played a PRS... I thought it was strange as, I thought he was playing a Telecaster, from listening to the albums... Remember that 1987 was 6 years before that the internet was widely introduced. Even "Guitar Player" magazine was hard to find...🙏💜
I use the coil tap more than the tone control so I switched mine out for a Mini Switch. For a tone control I use the center position and mix the PU's. Got mine in 2008.. wanted the Gold Top... all they had were Top "10" Cherryburst it is beautiful.
David is from Louisville originally and also played with John Mellencamp besides his famous time with Joe Ely... He became friends with drummer Kenny Aronoff while attending IU. Attributes George Harrison's guitar break in "Got to get you into my Life" from The Beatles Revolver album... as a Riff that really sparked his passion for guitar. ;-)
Interesting about the coil tapping, because the diagram on PRS website, albeit for 2022 model, clearly shows that the neck pickup is being tapped.
Both pickups do have the coil tap.
The split most definitely does work on the neck. I have had 4-5 of these and they all split the neck and bridge pickups. Yours might not be wired correctly.
Lol, I just remembered how PRS 594 videos always mention "vintage guitar".
Yes as if the Gibson Les Paul no longer exists. ERASED from history 🤣🤣
Sounds great! I couldn’t jive with the sound of the 594... guess I gotta have a look at the DGT
It'll definitely have what you're looking for. I made a mistake however.. the neck DOES split, it was just disconnected from inside
Please do a comparison video featuring the prs 594 and the dgt. Thanks! Just found your channel and really enjoying it!
That top!!!
Id love to see a video about your thoughts concerning the differences and similarities between the DGT and 594. I wish there was a 594 Trem.
The coil split does indeed split both bridge and neck pickups.
What the heck mine doesn't. Then this one has either been changed or I need to reconnect it. This guitar was used
Interesting, definitely have a tech check it out to see if it was modified. In my opinion the 594 split neck comes closer to a true strat sound. The DGT neck split sounds like strat on steroids, different but still a great sound. Also check out some videos of people who have put an out of phase switch on their DGT. Even more tones possible.
I just resoldered it and it works. Sounds amazing, I'll demo it in a future video for sure. Strat on steroids is the perfect description haha
C Man I was about to say the same thing. I've had two DGT's and they both split both pickups. And very useful splits on all positions!
I think PRS is one of a select few whose pickups when split actually sound good. Also, the talking in the video is more helpful than anything. As viewers we want to know what it sounds like in the room, what it feels like to play and obviously your take on it all. Keep em coming! O and by the way, we are working on a new guitar layout that you might like :)
YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION!!!!!!!!
@@BuddyBlues coming soon! I'll send you some pics on instagram once we get a few more things done, but pretty interesting but also familiar :)
Did this new layout materialize?
@@brettharris3188 yeah what happened to it?
I got a nice deal on the DG 30 amp and cab and man is it the real deal. The best way I’d describe the sound is “organic”. Organic tone, organic distortion, organic feel. I don’t understand the need for the “boost” switch, honestly. I mean why would you ever not have it on?? Jazz? Maybe? Anyway this amp has a classic Vox meets Marshall with a sprinkle of Brownface amp feel. Whatever that means, lol. So it has vintage tones but it essentially has a sound of it’s own in the end. The master volume is so well done. I find this amp really shines with the master and volume are both above halfway, preferably volume in 6-8 and Master wide-freaking open. And I love love the cabinet. It has a nice airy feel but with some kick you get from a closed back cab. And a little springy-ness feel I think due to the pine construction. Anyway I thank Buddy for this video because it helped sway me to get this lovely amp. BTW it’s so amazing I immediately sold my great Fender Vibroverb ‘64 custom shop reissue. Didn’t need it anymore, plain and simple. And yes, it kills paired with a DGT. (Preferably a goldtop, lol)
THANK GOD!!! A DG30 video where the amp isn’t played by David Grissom!!! I love DG’s playing, but I’ve been dying to hear this amp where someone hasn’t rolled the tone off the guitar. Thanks Buddy!!! 🙏
You're welcome!! Thanks for watching! (I secretly wish I was David Grissom.............every day)
Just a couple points, the bridge knob is first because DG stated he spends 90% of a gig on that pup, the amp knobs are that way for when you’re gigging and head is on cab the knobs are easier to read for a player standing up gigging (also insert Vox & fenders biggest seller the Hot Rod series, etc), just feel you should point this out as both pieces are quite specific to the player they were designed for. Other than that I dig the playing and demoing of the gear nice work, love my 594 Hollow, all the best.
That lick at 17:22 sounds like James Bond went to Italy to drink tea with Don Corleone.
🤣🤣🤣 thank you
They probably avoid using the names because PRS ended up in a costly litigation with Gibson over their Singlecut in the early 2000s.
PRS eventually won, but it was yet another instance of Gibson’s preference for litigation instead of putting resources into making top notch guitars.
The DGT is the best guitar PRS makes.
A 594 vs DGT comparison video would be cool. But would also be cool is a silver sky review, I’ve yet to get an opportunity to play one.
I have played several and I am 100% not the person to review it haha not a huge fan
You need to record a track with this setup
Best demo of the DGT to date. How do I get those clean spanky cleans at gig volumes? My DGT seems to overpower my amp and I can’t get that spanky headroom at gig volumes.
Thank you so much! I think maybe a compressor could help in a live situation? Keep everything nice and level
Do the comparison video already!! lol . And I need to play that DGT
hahaha I will! promise
Thanks for this one, and would love to see the comparison video. And, BTW, the PRS website says that the neck PU on the DGT does split, sos. maybe something is a big wrong with that one? Cheers.
oh, just saw you talk about the split in other comments. neeeeverminddddd.
Can you please tell us where you had the design of you ( behind you) made? the lighted design of you behind you on the wall. Thank you!
Brynic Solutions! Look them up on ig
Great vibe and video 🔥 what is that colour? Looks sick 🔥
I think they call it faded whale blue?? Thank you!
Great guitars and amps..but as some others have commented, they are pricing themselves into less sales. But aside from that, great video and great playing!!
Amen. I'd understand if it was a private stock, or a 1 of 1 guitar....but they aren't.. Alas. Anyway thank you so much!
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ you might want to look into Firefly guitars 🎸
Had a DGT several years ago. I'm certain the neck also split, or did I dream it? Miss her, whatever she did.
It does split! It was faulty wiring in mine but I got it fixed
Is DGT thin at nut and narrow large in the upper frets compare to a LP ? About to decide to get one...thanks for your answer and help. Cheers from France
Can’t tell you how much I love my dg 30, definitely the most versatile amp I’ve ever played and my all time favorite. Have a quad of Brimar CV4004’s in lieu of the EL84M’s, Buddy…(if you haven’t already) swap a quad of Brimar’s in…trust me.
The DGT is probably the most versatile PRS. I have mixed feelings about the split. Yes, it's nice to be able to split both pickups and the neck sounds quite stratty when split. Ideally though, I would have liked to be able to split both pickups independently and that's probably what the previous owner wanted when playing both pickups together: bridge split and neck full. This should come as an option by adding another push pull (or better push push) on another pot.
100% this. It'd be super useful to split one and not the other, or even to split just the neck so you could swap between a rhythm and a lead sound. And it's not like PRS can't do it: they could use the volume knobs as push pull (or push push, ideally, as you said), or heck, use toggles like they do on the 24-08 and 22-08.
Otherwise it seems like a couple DGTs are great complements to a collection of LPs if you need a similar sound in a lighter, smaller form factor for long gigs.
Hey Buddy - Check out the Grissom Pedal from Jetter. Brad Jeter is a great guy, makes some really awesome pedals.
Interested in 594 vs dgt
Don't worry mate, you do have fans lol! Sweet video as usual!!
Thank you!!
The toggle switch position being on the top horn like it is on the 594 would convince me. I would love a DGT if the switch was in that position. But I have found that behind the trem position is cumbersome to me. But maybe I just would have to get used to it.
It takes a minute to reestablish the switch location for me. I hit it at the end of my strum instead of the beginning.
I played strats my whole life so I guess I’m “spoiled”. The switch is right there. I can change the switch 4 times during a solo without skipping a beat. Les Paul’s and 594s are also kinda easy like you said. But yes. It does indeed take some time getting used to being all the way back. Same for my prs studio. You really HAVE to reach, and I find on stage if the tremolo is resting in playing position it’s a whole thing to switch effortlessly. But you really do get used to it after a while
Both good points.
Funny that a studio was mentioned. I am teetering between a DGT and a Studio. If you had to pick one... Which would it be.
The body on a DGT is McCarty thickness... in fact a DGT IS a McCarty with a few modifications. Also when you pull up on the tone knob it splits BOTH pickups not just the bridge.
Yep, and a lot of the DGT enhancements went into the newer McCarty's and into the 594. Dave should have gotten royalties on those too.
Then this one has to be tampered with. It only splits the bridge. It was used off of reverb so that explains it. Thanks for the info
@@BuddyBlues It’s a fantastic guitar for sure... I really love mine
@@jlr022159 I just soldered that loose wire. I'm gonna have to make another video soon to show that neck pickup split. hot DAMN this guitar is amazing
I just saw this. I own a DGT, my third one. My tone knob splits both pickups. I wonder how your guitar is wired.
WHOOPS!!! Just read further down the list, saw you resolved it. Please delete my comments. Nice guitar collection, btw.
Ummm, my 2012 DGT Standard “splits” both pickups with the coil split. Not sure why yours only splits the bridge. I get Strat-like tones on the neck and Tele-like tones on the bridge pickup, and the middle position is somewhere in between. Easily the most versatile guitar I own.
Yes brilliant guitar! In the description I explained wht the problem was. Loose wore had to resolder it
Man…you need to check the electronics! The split is on both pickups! Watch the Video of Paul an David. they are talking about the split neck-pickup with Hendrix-sounds😉 my DGT has got it too…
You're right! It was a loose wire that had to reconnect!
@@BuddyBlues very nice, do you like the split neck?
Yes I love it. Sounds so clear but still has a lot of body
BTW - there never is "too much David Grissom"
AMEN
Not sure which DGT this guy has but he is incorrect about the split coil on the neck
Pickup. You can definitely split the coils on both pickups.
Yes you are correct it was a loose wire that I reconnected myself! I put it in the description
I have the DGT and both pickups split!
Yes..........the description...
Mine splits as well (2015 model)
Yes.....the video descirptitotnnnnnnttnt t t tnt tntn
Did not see the description😂. Great video, and just a wonderful guitar. The only one I use now..
Haha thank you!! This guitar=versatility. It really does everything you want
So who is this amp for? I noticed it seemed to be a challenge to dial in your preferred tones. EDIT - I take this back. It is just a very versatile amp with many settings. I saw now after a rewatch you were going through all the various settings as well as the top cut and presence. Well done !
Just David Grissom. 🤣🤣 kidding it is a killer plexi style amp. It just needs to be really pushed
@@BuddyBlues probably some truth to this LOL 🤣 ok, so more of a giging amp and studio than home use at low volumes.
@@BuddyBlues I got this amp with matching DG custom V30's cab and Playing through my PRS Black DGT, yes black because black sounds better ;) I guess this amp is for me and David Grissom haha. There is something special here, it is for the player that wants a touch sensitive dynamic amp that is very keen on tonal characteristics from your hands. It can cover the black face, brown face, Tweed, VOX, Hiwatt and Marshall 50 watt Plexi to a degree with the top cut, presence and boost settings on the back all while doing its own thing, but can be pushed into either of these camps, very enique amp in this regard. I will probably be buried with this amp, it is that good. Cheers!
@@BuddyBlues yes you are right , it is killer ! I have a PS-100 FRYETTE Power Station Re-Amp on the way, this should take care of that wanting to be pushed. All the best !
Really glad you like it man! Enjoy the amp and attenuator that's on the way!
U might want to check your wiring… the DGT splits both pickups…
Yep. Loose wire, reconnected it!
Does the single coil tap have hum?
Not much no
First of all pickups are tapped not splitted. Huge difference there… and the neck is also tapped. Don’t know why your’s DGT is not tapping the neck? This is wierd… Mine taps both pickups.
It was a loose wire that I had to reconnect!
Why don’t do a VS episode on the topic of various tremolos between PRS vs Fender Vs Gibson
Also that sound is so raw that Gordon Ramsey is sending it back
Bedde la33bak bil tremolo taba3e
I’ve never played an octobass before
Both pickups split, unless its broken..
Correct,
It was disconnected but I resoldered it
@@BuddyBlues awesomeness.. Just about to play mine.
Ok, ok, ok, ok
Ok
I wish PRS wouldn’t ignore lefties and make their finish look less plastic-y ... I wish, I wish, I wish ... I guess we always have something to moan about. Nothing to moan about your channel though, it’s awesome!
The DGT finish is high gloss nitro with a cellulose undercoat. It WILL check in time
Thanks so much! You know what, now that you've said that, I don't think I've ever seen a lefty PRS at a guitar store. I don't think I've ever seen a lefty PRS on the internet either. Time to google this
Check out Reverb presently looks like 150 PRS lefties…. Fairly limited however

Aloha!!
You have a very nice channel, but the videos are very slow and boring. You have the quality of Paul David’s or Rhett shull.
Skip to the parts you want to personally watch, thanks!
Meh…
