PRS Wood Library DGT Flame Maple - Jade

This guitar represents the pinnacle of a decades-long collaboration between Paul Reed Smith and Austin tone legend David Grissom. While the DGT is based on the McCarty platform, it is distinctively its own beast, designed to handle the rigors of the road while offering vintage-voiced sweetness. However, this specific instrument is a Wood Library run, meaning it deviates from the standard specs to offer something truly unique for the collector and player alike. Instead of the traditional mahogany construction, this build features a resonant Swamp Ash body paired with a Maple neck. This combination injects a snap, articulation, and "air" into the notes that is simply addictive, while the satin-finished neck offers a smooth, fast feel that never gets sticky during a long set.

Visually, this guitar is a showstopper featuring a "10 Top" Flame Maple cap finished in a striking Jade that perfectly accentuates the figuring of the wood. But the real magic happens when you plug it in. The DGT pickups are widely considered some of the most musical humbuckers ever wound, but their secret weapon is the coil-tap. Grissom and Smith worked tirelessly to ensure that when you pull up on the tone knob, you get a genuine, glassy single-coil sound without the volume drop usually associated with splitting coils.

With two dedicated volume controls—a feature unique to the DGT within the core PRS lineup—you have infinite blending capabilities in the middle position. Whether you are chasing the gritty, soulful rhythm tones of Grissom’s work with John Mellencamp and Storyville, or carving out your own sonic signature, this Wood Library DGT offers a level of versatility and craftsmanship that is hard to beat.
