    “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).

    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.

    • @8sigreg
      @8sigreg Před rokem +2

      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.

  • @devinsinderwitcz9134
    @devinsinderwitcz9134 Před rokem +7

    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.

Possibly the best SE so far. Great job; and your playing just gets better.

    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!

    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..

    • @Spidouz
      @Spidouz Před rokem +2

      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.
