SE version of the Dave Grissom Signature guitar
With the PRS SE DGT Birds McCarty Tobacco Sunburst, the extremely popular Dave Grissom Signature guitar makes its way into the attractive SE line-up of the guitar forge from Stevensville, Maryland after a long wait. As a detailed replica of the noble Core Model, the SE DGT naturally features all the tweaks the meticulous and busy session guitarist made to sound and playing characteristics. While the mahogany body is beefier than regular PRS models and sports a solid maple top with a chic curly maple veneer, the set mahogany neck features the "DGT" profile shaped exactly to Grissom's specifications. At the guitar amplifier, PRS DGT "S" low-output humbuckers provide authentic vintage sounds, which are enriched by the split circuit and authentic single coil tones. The typical PRS Hardware in the form of a buttery responsive PRS Designed Tremolo and tuning stable die-cast tuners completes the equipment of the PRS SE DGT Birds McCarty Tobacco Sunburst Signature guitar.
The PRS SE DGT Birds McCarty Tobacco Sunburst Dave Grissom Trem electric guitar convinces with first-class playing characteristics and multi-faceted vintage tone colors.
The comfortable DGT mahogany neck is glued to the body of the same wood using the classical method.
Classic set-neck construction
The construction of the SE DGT is of course based in detail on the Dave Grissom trem from the Core Line-Up. To achieve a particularly powerful Vintage-Sound with warmth and long Sustain, PRS not only relies on the set-neck construction and the obligatory 25" scale length (635 mm) but also on a fat mahogany body with a solid maple top, whereby the intensely grained curly maple veneer provides the typical PRS look. The glued mahogany neck is also particularly comfortable to hold with its narrow DGT profile so that both classic and modern playing techniques can be implemented with ease on the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with the coveted PRS Bird inlays.
PRS DGT "S" humbuckers deliver top-notch clean and overdrive tones with unmistakable vintage vibes at the guitar amp.
DGT "S" Vintage-Style Humbucker
The PRS SE Dave Grissom Trem Signature guitar's electrical sound transformation is handled by PRS DGT "S" humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. Developed after traditional models of the golden era, the low-output humbuckers convince with an authentic vintage sound character, which not only elicits full cleans from the amplifier, but also a fat overdrive that reacts dynamically to the playing style. In addition, both humbuckers can be split to achieve glassy single-coil-inspired sounds. In addition to the 3-way pickup switch and a dedicated volume control for each pickup, the Paul Reed Smith SE DGT offers a tone control for adjusting the sound.
Die-cast tuners guarantee accurate and stable tuning of the PRS SE DGT electric guitar.
Reliable PRS Hardware
Of course, Paul Reed Smith completes the SE DGT Birds McCarty Tobacco Sunburst electric guitar with in-house attachments that combine classic looks with unmatched reliability. For the bridge, the well-known PRS Designed Tremolo system is used, which not only responds buttery smooth to lever movements and decorates every note with shimmering vibratos, but also guarantees accurate intonation and comfortable string action thanks to six individual string tabs. On the headstock in typical PRS Style precise die-cast tuners also keep the guitar reliably in tune.
