A Stratocaster may be more appropriate here but a PRS DGT (or McCarty) can handle pretty much anything.

Jimi never played it anyway like that

Are u gay?

Yo mama

Different, and from your site, it's obvious you are a lover of Shawn Lane. No problem with that, but you won't convince anyone. David Grissom is too well established as a highly sought after session and front line musician. Just read the rest of the other posts and replies here. If you don't like Grissom, don't listen to him. I'm not buying your "I love Grissom, but...." statement. I listened to your suggested version, and yes, he is very soulful, with tone to the bone. Ok. Grissom is well..... David Grissom. With his own signature model PRS Guitar and signature PRS amp. That doesn't happen by accident.

Tomas Eduardo Fair comment. I was merely saying I don't think this is the best version of a fantastic song. Out of interest I am a Grissom fan, and have just bought a PRS DGT model 🙂

Fair enough. And I apologize for any arrogance I may have displayed. I think what detracts from this recording is the quality of everything NOT associated with David's playing, like the house mix, or more likely, the cell phone recording distortion. I would also love to have a DTG model, but have too many guitars and amps and not enough money to share with me wife for things like food, electricity, and things like that.

I agree sir! I tried to use all the "gizmo's" out there that was said to get my ES335 to sound like a STRAT and guess what - NOTHING BUT A STRAT SOUNDS LIKE A STRAT! :)

Well, to be fair, he MIGHT be able to... but certainly that's not apparent on this video, but then again, it doesn't say anywhere that was actually shooting for a Strat tone here...

True... Little Wings was written on a Strat and nothing sounds better than in it's original form. But with that said, the song stands on it's own being play on anything :)

There's a video on th e building of the DGT Strat with Grissom and PRS discussing, and Grissom says one of the things he wanted is a Strat tone, and he even plays a Little Wing lick (and Watchtower) to make his point. So, if he wanted a different tone when he was actually playing Little Wing live, that statement - the one I'm calling bullshit - would make zero sense.

Are we talking like putting a Corvette body kit on a VW frame type thing? Imitation comes to mind if so. And YES a strat was the tone they were going for. All this doesn't matter because I've been without a guitar and even having a junker with a warped neck is better than nothing. Play slide on it! WE all know even a shovel will do in time of need :)

Idiot.

Paul Irons LMAO. Look at this guy's instructional videos and try to call him an amateur.

+Paul Irons What a cockwomble ! You must be a guitar god in your bedroom eh ?

+Paul Irons As someone who has made a study of this song, Dave's version is one of most intricately nuanced and melodic I've ever heard. After listening to this I'm definitely going to go through his Truefire course. The way he was tying his lead to the chords was nothing short of sublime. So I'm guessing you really don't know what you're talking about and lack the good sense not to do so when you don't.

Friggin idiot.

The DGT (Dave Grissom Trem) model has 'moons' instead of birds. I own one and it's wonderful.

You're high.

I'm not taking anything away from David. But to even mention SRV is insane!! his interpretation is left untouched!! it might be a matter of personal preference. But any guitar player, that actually plays would agree with me.
