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. Its like picking up a vintage guitar. It sounds like a vintage guitar, and out of the box its ready to go. Theres a whole lot of thought gone into this. The DGT is pretty perfect to me. David Grissom
For 2020, PRS has updated this model with a nitro over celluose (CAB) finish.
