PRS SE DGT (David Grissom Tremolo) Overview

The PRS SE DGT brings the highly acclaimed signature model of guitar virtuoso David Grissom to the accessible SE lineup for the very first time. Rooted in the classic McCarty blueprint, the DGT design has been a gold standard of versatility and refined tone since its debut in 2007. This budget-friendly powerhouse reflects Grissom’s lifelong obsession with vintage instruments and uncompromising attention to detail, making it an incredibly capable tool for stage and studio alike.

No shortcut was taken in translating this premium guitar to the SE family. From the meticulously contoured neck shape and customized fretwork to the intentional hardware selections and finishes, every element has been carefully optimized. At its sonic core are dual vintage-voiced humbuckers wired to an intuitive control scheme: separate volume knobs for each pickup and a global push/pull tone pot that unleashes chimey, single-coil-style tones. With effortless playability and vast tonal flexibility, the SE DGT lets you focus entirely on your music.
