Description

The PRS DGT Dave Grissom Trem with Moon Inlays is a testament to the harmonious collaboration between legendary guitarist David Grissom and PRS. This guitar is not just an instrument; it's a finely-tuned piece of art designed for musicians who demand both vintage flair and modern versatility. The DGT combines a carved, figured maple top with a robust mahogany body, producing a rich and resonant tone that’s as visually stunning as it is sonically impressive. The unique DGT neck carve offers enhanced playability, allowing for seamless transitions between rhythm and lead.

Equipped with two meticulously customized DGT humbuckers, this guitar delivers a Texas-tinged, vintage-inspired tone that will captivate both players and audiences alike. The guitar's control layout is nothing short of intuitive, featuring dual volume knobs for each pickup and a push-pull master tone knob for quick access to single-coil sounds, making it perfect for live performances.

Every detail of the PRS DGT has been carefully considered to meet the standards of a gigging musician, from the locking PRS tuners to the smooth, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard adorned with mesmerizing moon inlays. It's a guitar that feels like a classic yet performs like a modern powerhouse, a true reflection of Grissom's storied career and PRS's commitment to excellence.

Jimmy Herring uses the PRS 'DGT' Dave Grissom Signature guitar during Widespread Panic's annual performances at Panic en la Playa, as reported by Sam Berenson on L4LM. The DGT model, known for its separate volume controls for the bridge and neck pickups, allows Jimmy to achieve his distinctive sound by blending a touch of the neck pickup with the full bridge pickup. This choice may also be influenced by the need to rent guitars for performances in Mexico, due to restrictions on importing instruments with endangered rosewood.

Mick: "I got it in 2008. "

"This just seemed to make perfect sense, because it does have a bit of Les Paul tonality about it. It's a little bit lighter, 'cause it's double-cutaway, obviously, and it has the trem, which brings a little bit of Strat into the picture."

Storyville

Verified via Premierguitar

"I started playing PRS in 1985, so the guitar was almost 25 years in the making. In 1991, when I was working with Mellencamp, I wanted a PRS that had a little more low end and a little less midrange, to add a more vintage character. I collaborated with Bonnie Lloyd, who was the artist-relations person, on a bunch of changes to a stock model. They made that guitar the McCarty, which became my guitar for many years, although I always got mine with a tremolo arm. That adds liveliness and a natural reverb to the tone."
