As many of you might remember, there was a time when the DGT was my only electric guitar...well I had three of them but that's another story. Now David has worked with PRS to put build an SE level DGT. I've had one for three days and I can't believe what they've created for this price point.
As Leo Fender and Paul Reed Smith know, working directly with players is the secret to creating exceptional instruments.
Follow me over on Instagram to post your questions for the livestream.
See you there.
Keith - Zábava
After owning the 594 SE for the last 6 months, I could not pass up owning the DGT SE and ordered one yesterday. These guitars are amazing!!!!
Keith, it's been just amazing to see your success with with Five Watt World. I can't think of anyone more deserving, and I'm thrilled to see where you take it - Matty K
Thanks Matty! But it s folks like you that have built this thing as well.
@@fivewattworld Beers on MattyK!
Outstanding ear for tone Mr. Grissom. I play my SE next to Core models all the time. Most of those players are stunned by the sound the SE puts out. A high quality guitar for under a grand! PRS is awesome. So is your playing Sir.
I have an OG SE Standard in vintage red with the Grover locking tuners. It’s the best 24 fret “SG” I’ve ever had. Can’t wait for my Gold Top to arrive.
One of the greatest regrets in my life was back in 2009. We were low on funds and I had to let a hunk of gear go to cover some bills and sadly my Core DGT was one that went. Gold top with moons, a true beauty, just like Dave's. Also sacrificed was a Faded Blue Jean Modern Eagle with a Brazilian rosewood neck and an '86 white Standard. I still get emotional any time I think about them. If anyone out there watching owns one of these they purchased from Wildwood Guitars in Colorado, I'm more than willing to make a generous offer to reacquire any of them. If not, I understand, but please take care of them for me.
And Keith, don't forget about our Iceman documentary we recently discussed. 😎🤘
An Iceman / Fireman episode would be great!
I wascwatching this video just now, I have been playing my PRS SE DGT exclusively, and playing live, sweating lots all.over the guitar for the past 11 months, no dramas yet
The love I’m seeing in the guitar community for these is absolutely amazing. I’m half waiting to see these become the new Les Paul.
The PRS three-part series for the DGT-SE launch really has been interest-piquing…and I think your contribution here with DG was really special…just right. Evident sincerity.
(I wasn’t in the market for a new guitar but now, of course, I want one).
Also, thank you for being so consistently thorough.
I’m not even remotely familiar with DG, but I’ve gotten super interested in the DGT. Great episode/ interview!
That's some serious flaming on that Wood Library model.
I'm not a PRS owner, but love the fact that a high-quality semi-affordable guitar is out there for new players. Wish a guitar was out there like this when I was in high school....
I have one of these 2023 SE DGT’s. It’s a great guitar. Now I want a Core.
This was awesome. What a great interview subject David is. Such a humble man, happy to share his knowledge and experience about guitars, recording and playing. Very enjoyable. I will look out for your next interview with him.
And my DGT SE is on the way. Expecting it by mid-week. I think PRS may have a special one on their hands with this model.
Thanks for this…heck, I’d love one of these DGT SEs! And David is such a distinctive player…good job, Keith.
Thank you Keith and David. The guitar sounds really wonderful ❤
Great interview as always Keith! And man your DGT is stunning. 🤤 PRS is pumping out the hotcakes with these SE’s. Can’t wait to try one. Thanks for sharing the great content!
Another great David Grissom interview. Thank you so much for sharing this
The one tuned down a whole step sounds incredible 🤘🤯
Yes, awesome!
Great sounds Video great audio view. Great interview. Great guitar 🎸
Happy New year 2024. 👍
I really dug this live chat. Thank you!!
This is a very interesting SE model - one of the best. Nice to hear David feature it himself!
Great video again Keith. I'm so glad your out there indeed
Guitars & Amps...
As I watch America change forever, then there's 5 watt world.
Thank you Brother
Randy. Great North Woods Michigan
Thanks David for all tone ideas!
I love David G. Such an artist, a tone fanatic, a personality.
Saturday mine arrives, so jazzed thanks David and PRS
Thanks Keith for this livestream and of course to David for his true honest evaluation of the SE versus core models. I’m only watching this now so I missed the true livestream. But I’ve been impressed by the reviews on these guitars. In any case I’ve decided to preorder one in the flame top here in Canada.
Great video! I bought one of the burst SE DGTs on Tuesday. The feel and sound a lot like the core model I used to have. Terrific value and a great guitar. BTW David’s pickiness over the details made me confident it would be a great guitar. I was not wrong
I love it when you and DG get together. I first saw him with Mellencamp about 30+ years ago!
Bummed I missed the live feed but thanks for posting it so quickly
Ordered … DG is such a great player and the DGT is amazing
I enjoyed this, good job. Very intrigued by the possibility of this guitar
Awesome interview!
Hi Keith and hi David Grissom to,this is another great presentation from 5 watt world on PRS, which is a guitar ive yet to try or play ▶ ive had m6 eyes on the silver sky though hmmm cash has been tight just now but watching David play these and the difference between them is amazing heavier guitar kinda equals heavier sounding guitar 🎸, thank you guys
loving DG's momotaro denim jacket. guy's got tone, ears AND style!
Thanks for this video here, David is the the Most Underrated Guitar player He Needs More Due, I Bought one of the DGT Guitars and i must say that it has more Tone than any other Guitar Out there, Thank You David & PRS, My Best to you, Cousin Figel
awesome tones
What a fantastic video stream I actually enjoyed it in my opinion
So great to get so much background information on my New Guitar ...
And from the horse's mouth too 👍
Awesome video, I've been anticipating the SE model since you mentioned the possibility last year and asked my sales engineer at Sweetwater to reserve me a gold top as soon as he heard any news about it. So, I'm hoping to have one soon!!
The Gold Top SEs pretty close but not as throaty as Dave’s main Axe! The second SE is killer!
DGT shallow carve looks fantastic. Those are the nicest PRS guitars. I like that body.
Prs. Makes great guitar s. And for a beginner. What a great choice. Bro get. A solid. Guitar that plays rite. Every single fret intonation. No fret out. Go pick up any prs any store. All play rite no issues. Now pick up. Any fender Gibson 3,000. Dollars ones. From a store 100 percent. You’ll get. Fret out. Intonation issues. Now a Grissom. Model. That’s solid lower cost. Young people have it easy to have a solid guitar.
Two crazy things just happen to me a day before I watched this ….. I got a PRS McCarty 597 SE that has this same sort of sounds he is displaying but more importantly, I just bought the most game changing guitar pedal thanks to Tom Buckovac… an XTS modded Boss GE-7 that moves just the most important mids around. OMG…. This pedal makes all guitar sit so well in the mix but in the amp….. I think this pedal makes the speaker more tunable and allows a better signal path to hear what a basic speaker hides in most amps. It clears up those in between mids that guitars can miss due to pickup or wood or strings…. It draws out the very best like a soundboard preamp fine tuning….. Dave could dial this XTS in and make every guitar sound exactly like what he hears in his head…. Crazy feeling being able to dial a PRS SE by using this pedal and hear better mids to sound like a 2-3k guitar…
I have the gold top on order. Can't wait 😊
Just ordered a Gold SE DGT….stoked!
That was great Keith, awesome job! David is a joy to listen to. Down to earth, one of the guys, I just love that. I prefer 'knurled aluminum knobs, Leo's 1952 specials'. LOL 8) --gary
If the PRS DGT SE is as good is my PRS Bernie Marsden SE, it will be a killer guitar.
I like the solid body gold top (#1) straight through the amp. It has great tone! Of course the guitar alone may not sound the same when playing with other instruments.
Class act!
I love ish guitars
DG's tone! Man!
Been waiting for this guitar to come out. I'm so impressed with G&L's Indonesian guitars I kind of forgot about the "I" and "R" serial numbered Epiphones. I'll be really glad to get one of these. The only thing is, I wish they'd bring back Trampas Green and stop blacking out the backs of the guitars.
I totally agree - love the Trampas Green finish (although I know a lot of people who call it “baby puke green” lol) and the natural backs look great with the exposed maple caps on PRS guitars
The semi hollow is the one I would buy. It sounds distictive.
Jack Higginbotham has a real passion to make high quality affordable guitars for us normies. Thanks Keith, great interview and I've learn many things from the answers, cheers! I have real gas for the gold top and the se594.....
Just got a brand new SE DGT Goldtop in the other room, getting ready to open the box. And I'm coming into this backwards, not knowing about DG himself, and watching all these videos and getting interested in his music and the story behind this guitar.
The Core model just sounds a bit more full, and a little bit more well-rounded through my earbuds.
For my budget, the SE would be an excellent guitar that would absolutely fit everything that I play.
Damn I missed you live bro..caught up on crappy roads.. catching up 🤘😁
This show should be on 24/7😂
Just ordered one.
Cool video. I'm excited to try one in 2024 when they're actually in stock... haha
Great new PRS. I am glad Phil McKnight measured the neck thicknesses! that should be done more often.
I might get one just because it has your fatter medium neck? I have 3 core models though, and a fine SE acoustic.
Herbie Mann I got that album Push Push ! I saw him at The Jazz Lighthouse in the early 70's. Herbie Mann was a regular.
I didn't know Duane was on the record. Ill have to get it out and listen to the best RIP Sky Dog
Great reviews everywhere but availability sucked here in Canada! I really want to try one!
Yes I’m watching this episode yet again!
Nice Clapton tone
Really keen for the first time to own a PRS.
Wow. He is right. My lighter. Guitar s I put light strings on. Never really thought about it.
If I didn't just get a Reverend Eastsider S, I would probably be getting DGT. It's just that the Eastsider fits better with my band, and is the one guitar that can replace both my Teles and Strats, for live use.
Great interview! Recently was lucky enough to get David to sign the electronics cover plate on my core DGT. What a great guitar! Looking forward to trying an SE someday. Keith, have you ever tried to emulate David's tone on the HX Stomp (please don't judge me folks, lol)? Love the five watt world!
I have multiple DG inspired tones in my Stomp preset pack. All my heroes are in there.
VEry cool. David is awesome, and I'm seriously considering getting one of these SE's. I think I'd be more into an S2 version, but that's just my nerdbrain talking probably! Haha!
Good name for a guitar song, "Goin' Back to the SE"!!! Instrumental switching back and forth from the SE to the core, only David has to write it and play it because I can't aford a Core at the moment!!!
I have an SE 24 Zebra Wood (2018?), I love it.
I heard you playing Duane licks. Nice. I've always been chasing his tone.
Can’t help but notice the Calton Cases in the case rack!
The goldtop treble pickup single note playing on the SE sounds a bit muffled to me compared to the Core. Am I imagining that?
At the 18:00 minute mark when David compares the two guitars the USA version sounds louder and beefier. The SE sounds thinner and more transparent. I listened to it several times and that's what I'm hearing. The USA version has more of a thick, beefy squawk.
the semi-hollow reminds me of Cream. Could be just the way he's playing it.
Could the Differenz be that the SE has a cast Metall bridge whereas the core has the brass saddles and perhaps also brass Block?
I'm late to the party, but a great show.
I like the 2 point tremolo on my SE Silver Sky better than a 6 screw tremolo. I wish the SE DGT had the 2 point tremolo. Seems to stay in tune better.
Very interesting guitar! Thanks for the great video.
But Ill stick to my Viking 😊
Ugh you're selling me on the core model. Sounds better even over youtube.
I have 8 SE’s, all sound amazing. Some stock, some fancy pickups. All play amazing. Them on a few is great. I will probably never get anything fancier. Why bother
I would buy one , but as usual for PRS , NO Lefties !! ( Hi Matty K ! )
I hear you Matty
no several thousand dollar difference to my ears ..Ive always said the best guitar for a player is THE ONE THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO PLAY MORE..connect with... ..a good guitar is a good guitar Se s are GREAT guitars for the $
Tejas!
trying to buy a gold top dgt at the moment in Oz and they're out of stock literally everywhere, so I assume they're selling super well
edit: i forgot to mention...both you guys look like you just came off the set of the Jailhouse Rock clip in those denim shirts 😂
The lack of Dark Cherryburst option is a deal breaker for me.
What a shame. Seems to be 90% of the US model at 25% the price.
How heavy was the 2010 Goldtop? 8lbs how many ounces??
how do I get a core DGT in TV Yellow with black pickup rings ?
Custom orders like that are at the Private Stock level. Talk to a dealer.
Roy Buchanan was something else! He eventually switch to Bill Lawrence pickups. Great pickups, not the Bill Lawrence USA ones though. If you want real ones you gotta get WIlde USA ones, they are still made by Bill's Wife and Daughter.
WHICH GUITAR IS THE WEAPON OF CHOICE
I always put speed knobs on my Gibsons. Just easier to use.
The DGT SE is hard to pass for the price range. You get a lot of guitar for the money.
I hope this doesn't have a wide neck. I just tried an old gold PRS Custom 24 SE and the neck was so wide and the radius was too flat.
The neck is ever so slightly thinner than the current “pattern” necks.
@@fivewattworld Good to know. Thanks, Kieth!
Man I was just looking at that guitar from Ish! Any chance you’re looking to sell? 😂
Not soon
As a non-professional musician, what I can tell PRS or any other guitar manufacturer who's making instruments in the price range is, if someone can't use these in a live gig situation, then they should stop building them. Professional musicians who don't have to purchase their new instruments obviously want the highest price instruments. In this case, the SE could be used at any gig anywhere in the world. It seems like the individuals who are most surprised by the quality are those who don't have to pay for them.
i think slap a set of PRS 58/15 LT pickups in it now that ya can get them and ya have it
Silly question...
What's the big difference between the DGT and a normal PRS Custom 24? I assume just 22 v 24 frets, but this seems like a bit of a redundant model in the PRS lineup. Same body shape, HH pickups, Tremolo, etc.
Slightly different body thickness, different pickups, different neck carve, different fret wire, controls are neck volume-bridge volume-master tone.
@Denis M Thanks! I guess my reason for asking is it seems there was a tremendous amount of build up and hype for this guitar when it wasn't immediately evident what made it different
DGT spawns from the McCarty with a Trem
I have both CU22 and core DGT. Night and day comparison. Acoustically the DGT is loud. With his neck profile the vibrations through the hand (and guitar body) is sensational. Then crank up the pickups = bliss.
2-22-23 and Sweetwater still does not have a SE DGT and I knew exactly why the volume knob was where it is 😐
I think they sold out of their first batch quickly and are now waiting to restock.
@@fivewattworld they are offering Pre-Order
They have 4 right now!!!! Sunburst
@@lennydupont9005 i finally found one but I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would 😐 I picked up the PRS SE Tremonti insisted
24:17
What’s the intro song?
Sorry I don’t remember
18:24 19:11
I like it. Looks like a Klon.
And imagine how many you could buy for the price of one Klon.
