“I didn’t just rubber stamp this. This guitar is something I have been very involved in and am really proud of. The SE Series is lightyears ahead of anything I could get my hands on when I started playing - it’s amazing how far the quality has come - and I am proud to be able to offer this guitar to more people.” - David Grissom
The PRS SE DGT (David Grissom Trem) brings David Grissom’s signature model to the SE Series for the first time. Based on the McCarty platform, the DGT model has been a constant favorite since its introduction in 2007, thanks to Grissom’s deep knowledge of vintage guitars and his painstaking attention to detail. Every feature on the SE DGT has been considered from the neck shape to the fret choice and dressing, from the colors to the pickups and electronics layout.
The SE DGT features vintage-voiced humbuckers paired with individual volume controls for each pickup and a push/pull master tone control that taps the humbuckers for sweet, single-coil inspired sounds. This layout puts a lot of control and versatility on tap so you can focus on playing and not the guitar. Additional appointments include a maple top, mahogany back, 22-fret, 25” scale length mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, and bird or moon inlays (inlays are color dependent).

Its a les pauldacaster. I gotta get me one of these someday.
This guy never wants to sell you something, just wants true friendship.
Like Tom on MySpace 🙂
Tight shirts and best friends.
John demoing gear feels like a kid in a candy store who's just really excited to talk about how much he likes peanut m&ms
John you always have tasty tones and funky cool licks and riffs
He’s actually what got me back into guitar. Just a legend.
I love how he is still genuinely into the gear
It’s a sickness that never leaves us 😂
I've had a PRS DGT for the past three years and it's been the only PRS that I've ever bonded with. It can do vintage Les Paul, Strat and Tele tones and as you've said, the neck is sublime. I feel ambivalent about the release of the SE because previously the DGT was only a core US model sold at a premium. On reflection I'm glad that it will now be exposed to a wider audience.
Ahhhh finally. Been a Grissom fan since the Storyville days
I was not expecting that single coil tone in the intro when I clicked on this video. Wow this guitar is versatile.
It is. Grissom equates the tapped bridge sound to a Tele, and the tapped neck to a Strat neck pickup, and I agree. I have an ‘08 Goldtop DGT that’s got its battle scars, and sounds great. They’re super fun to play, and are very responsive; The examples of it doing low volume feedback are exactly what mine does.
PRS has nailed the price point on this guitar. Super high quality yet still affordable to most. And it stays in tune which is equally as important. These pickups sound like something out of a much higher priced rig without sacrificing just all-around great tone. Kudos to Paul, David and ALL of the PRS staff and builders.
I really like the fact that it has separate volume knobs for each pickup.
But they always put the neck knob in the spot where i want my bridge volume. Good thing I can solder
@@Ottophil Grissom says that’s because he plays on the bridge pickup 95% of the time when playing live. He wants that pickup’s control under his little finger.
Sometimes, I just don't really care what kind of guitare or device John is testing ; I just want him to play it again and again and again...until eternity's end...
Same here. Although, I'm interested in this guitar, but it's always a pleasure listening to John playing.
Wow, what a great guitar, and John is an amazing player and human being.
Yeah!!!🤘🤘🤘 John, thanks for featuring the PRS SE DGT!
Great first look and wonderful playing John! Thank you
Wow, that split sounds amazing!
Luvverly! I shall be ordering one as soon as my fav UK retailer tells me they're available!! PRS guitars have never been on my radar, in over fifty years of playing and (squandering), but recently I bought a PRS SE Custom and in two weeks bought another. Excellent guitars.
Playing sounded good
It sounds as gorgeous as it looks. If I ever need that type of guitar, this will be it.
My man John never disappoints! 🤘🏻
Hey John its allways a joy to listen to your playing. This Guitar is so beautiful. Thank you !
Thanks Paul, for making me want to cry yet again. I can barely keep up with All the cool models released in the last few years. Then you go and release the SE Silver Sky, & now this SE DGT! You're killing me! At least I have my SE Custom Semihollow in Blue Matteo to soothe my heartache, for now. I think I got a case of the PRS SE bues! Sniff, sniff!
long awaited , thanks!
Love the sound of this PRS! I have been increasingly impressed with these. I’ve played a few before and will own one of them one of these days.
The DGT is a great guitar.
I'm a huge David Grissom and Storyville fan and I MUST have this guitar. I have a 1997 PRS Cu22 10 Top that I love, but I need another PRS.
Within Ten Years PRS will be at the top of the best guitars list forever over Strat, Les Paul, SG, Tele 😎🎸🎶☮️
Ok, lets not get silly here. 🤣
Wow what a guitarist. I think you can make any guitar sound good. Now if you love this guitar I’m convinced mere mortals can be very happy with the tone and versatility of this guitar. I just bought one and now I’m really looking for feedback and this makes me happy with my choice after 15 minutes in a store. No regrets.
As usual a great review. Love your playing mate. 🤙
Hey John, great video. I've been waiting for this guitar to come out. Controls are like an old Flying V. A lot of people have commented on the PRS coil taps sounding better than the usual fare, which is cool, about time. David really seems to love the whole guitar, pickups included. Possibly the best SE so far. Great job; and your playing just gets better.
Nice job John. Great tones and playing my friend. Amp sounded killer as well.
Whoah - to my ears your original core DGT sounds a couple of levels up! Aw3som3 playing, as always, sir!
Have to say that SE model is VERY impressive, kudos! However, having said that, my 2011 core model would have to be pried from my cold, dead hands. Really glad though that PRS has made the DGT available to a wider audience. It's one hell of an axe!
John is the man! Amazing playing Sir.
Nice demo, great playing. Love this goldtop .
Sounds great, looks great, great playing too!
Just bought mine in Bangkok music collection shop. I felt in love instantly After trying few others prs se
Wow, that's close!! Thanks for the honesty JB!! In my circle of fav players you are right in there with Buk, GT, Jedd and Vince!! Appreciate you Brother!! 8) --gary
Really love this guy SO heart felt about guitars and rigs and music
Sweet video ! I’ll definitely check these out !
Wicked playing ! You are fantastic player. Love your reviews. I am subscribed.
Came back just to hear you play again Great player.
Been waiting on this bad boy
Nice little cover of "Little Wing"!
He's such a lovely guy, loved his Robin Trower rig run down a couple of years ago 😀😀
PRS has been putting out amazing guitars for the money these January. The gas is strong!
I've got a C24 Piezo and a Tremonti... While the C24 was more expensive and can do pretty much everything I've had it for almost 5 years and just haven't bonded with it. Fell in love with the Tremonti day one though... on a livestream a few years ago I asked a question and Paul said "it sounds like you really need a DGT." The day the first video came out I called and pre-ordered this SE DGT, mine should be here in the next couple of weeks. Got the Goldtop with moons like what you are playing. Stoked that it's so close to the Core. Yea I know it's not going to be exactly the same but it seems pretty close, those pickups are very impressive! Fantastic review, phenomenal playing as well!
Wow! I've watched many of this guys PG interviews, but never realized he was a great player as well.
THXS for lovely characteristic video, versatile guitar.
I'm just a guitar loving hobbyist but played off and on for almost 50 years. Always had Gibsons and Fenders and their associated foreign lessers. I bought my first PRS (Zach Myers SE) about 2 months ago and everything else will be up for sale soon. Love the reviews and thanks (as always) for the quickie "what can I strum at Guitar Center" lessons!!!
Amazing playing!
Mine will be here tomorrow - I can't wait!
What stands out to me, is that this is the first video where it appears you may actually have the window open and sun coming in. Great playing as usual.
Im a DGT Core owner. I absolutely love the guitar. PRS should sell the DGT pickups. They are super sweet. The SE better have good pickups or it wont do. Copying a body is the easy part.
Beautiful.
Thank you PRS and Dave! SE DGT for the blue collar player. Also to Cort in Indonesia for building amazing guitars, truly today’s version of Japan quality
Thanks for this video, i bought one, and for the Money, this guitar is Awesome, Cousin Figel
Killer playing
I'd love it if they made some classic PRS models with single coils. They've made a few but not enough. I love the PRS form factor but I want single coils.
Sweet playing John.....seems like an awesome guitar.
I'm glad the PRS SE DGT is great, but I knew it would be, and John is the best guitar journalist and youtuber there is, nobody has more passion and personality.
Great playing as always. I just sold my DGT that I owned since 2011 and that SE sounds decent but nothing like a core model to my ears. YMMV
I've always wanted an SE. I think this is the one.
Really intrigued by the new Sonzero, looking forward to the vid on that
Nice one John 👌🏼
great job john!I sold my 2008 dgt goldtop 3 years ago and regret it - especially seing the price inflation. I'm gonna get me one of these after seeing your review.
I reckon PRS need to make a McCarty SE.
Also that intro was so sweet I got a sugar rush.
@Mac MFer ha ha ha I just woke up to this news lol lol. Bizzarre !!!!
Wow John, you play great!
THERE GONNA SELL A TON OF THESE!
PRS is making life this year difficult. I was interested in this and planning to buy a Standard or Custom 24 SE but they also came out with a McCarty 594 SE with LT 58/15 S pickups in both Custom and Single cut. Three guitars I’ve wanted out in SE line now. My wallet crying. 😢
The DGT is the only PRS model ive been interested in. I already have a few top shelf/custom shop instruments and being only curious the core model just seems like too steep of dive but the SE, definitely getting one when theyre out
Loved the video, I'll check this out.
Nice little wing, John!!
The DG tone I would be chasing is the one he got on John Mellencamp's "Whenever We Wanted" album, especially songs like "Melting Pot" and
"They're So Tough"
I was always impressed by the quality of those SE's.. No doubt the American made are a cut above. However, at this level of quality, the player, more than the guitar, along with a good amp, will make all the difference..
Absolutely. This is what I like with PRS, they really let the musician to express him/herself. I have SE, Core, and I played Private Stock and they’re all worth their price tag (even the Private Stock, as crazy as it could be). But it’s the law of diminish return, the higher you get in range (SE, S2, Core, Private Stock), the less major difference you will get because the lower model is already so great. I wanted to purchase a Singlecut guitar, I tried $3,000 Gibson Les Paul in stores, none of them were any good. I’m sure you could find great ones, but you have to try many to THE good one. So I tried a SE 245 and the first one I tried was perfect. I thought I was just lucky, so I tried couple of others (friends of mine also bought SEs) and theirs were good too. That’s the major thing with PRS, it’s Quality and Consistency. You could even order a guitar blindly online without ever try it and you won’t be disappointed. And if you don’t like the guitar, you will surely not like any other of the same model. It’s not a hit or miss situation like it could be so much with other brands. That’s why now, I’m pretty invested in buying PRS only guitars… I never had to resell any of those guitars.
@@Spidouz 100% what you said. I've replaced my entire guitar collection with PRS core models for all of the reasons you stated. They're incomparable.
@@Spidouz Good to know thanks! I am also a Godin guitar enthusiast when it comes to price/quality ratio:)
I orded my SE Mira with out playing any PRS before. Great feel, great build quality, great components, Great sound. They used brass saddles on my tailpiece, for way under 1000. Just high quality instruments
John gettin at it!
Beautifully done demo!
When comparing your 2008 model to this SE, I think I remember in the JG interview, that he said he had PRS pattern the SE after his favorite 2010 model. So that neck and the pick ups were likely different than the 2008 anyway. (They had been tweaking guitars for 20 years!)
Looking forward to giving it a “shot” through my sound system.. in all honesty, the sound I was hearing was not what I’m after.. I still want to give the instrument a GO.. Mr Gris is one of my favorites..
It's probably because of that amp, TBH.
it looks good, and sounds good
Man John is a ridiculous player… can’t wait to try the new Se
Just got one and I can't believe how good it is. It's everything I wish my Les Paul could be. Very versatile. No, it can't get true strat tones. But that's not what this guitar is for. Love the feel of the neck. And the sustain blows everything I own out the water. Best PRS I've played. Best guitar under $1k without question.
Your playing is fantastic and the guitar sounds great. I like it better than other PRS guitars. I really like the shallow carve top. 🎼🎶👍
Love this stuff because instead of gregarious, sometimes goofy John from rig rundowns, we get monster player John.
"John. John, JOHN wake up. QUICK. You have to record a PRS demo. NOW. Do you want some product for your hair? No? Nothing? No pomade? Maybe a matte clay, or styling paste? Are you sure? OK. well, you're on in 5, 4, 3, 2..." I kid! Johnny, we love ya, great demo!
Oh WOW! It's a PRS!
Looks like it's the ultimate "cover band do it all bring one guitar to the gig" guitar?
Very nice sounds great ( of course they all sound great with you playing them John)
I was hoping they would come out with an SE version of this maybe now I will pick one up myself.
Nice!! PRS is killing my wallet. Just got a Core 10-Top McCarty 594. Picking up one of these too. Sold 5 closet dwellers for the Core, and have a couple more that just became Reverb candidates.
John I walked right past you on Broadway last Sept. I wanted to yell “Rig Rundown!!!” but then I realized my wife would think I’m crazy. Anyway I was a little starstruck.
Sounds Rich ... Rockin the computer speakers man !
Nice!
Want!
Dope corduroy couch.
I've a 19 Goldtop that I love. Use the splits all the time but I can't believe how little u leave on the table by going with the SE. It sounds really good and the pups articulate incredibly. Why not try one of these before going full core monty? Right? Doubt you'd sell it....
John could make a string on a 2x4 sound good. Great demo!!!
Great tone out of the SE. David Grissom has been a favorite since he played with Joe Ely. John you sound great and where did you get that guitar strap? Keep up the great work.
Great Guitar 🎸 I have 2 silver sky & 1 DGT they are mind blowing 🎉!!
John, come on, you’re nifty enough to break out that thumb technique and drone the low E string on “Little Wing!” Come on, man! 😂🤪😂. Great video - thanks
Earlier today I was wondering when you would be able to get your hands on. I wonder if he has the volume knobs set for volume swells on that back pickup
I watched the Fireside Chat last week and they said the release date was “TODAY” Jan 10, how did John happen to get this guitar to release a video ON JAN 10, 2023 Today. I’m just curious !!!!!
I think the only reason the 15 year old dgt sounded a little better is John isn't afraid to beat it up
John, As always another fabulous presentation, and I believe Santa is going to bring me one of these for Christmas. Btw, Where did you get that guitar strap who made it?
I want to get one of those also.
Yessss
Look at that dark rosewood fretboard! This is an import model but fender and gibson can’t even pull that off on some of their usa made stuff…
I’m not a PRS guy. I do dig this tone.
I love watching you kill it on stage on Instagram%!
