The PRS DGT with Bird Inlays electric guitar is the result of over two decades of collaboration between guitar maker Paul Reed Smith and acclaimed guitarist David Grissom. Based on the iconic McCarty model, the DGT combines vintage-inspired tones with modern playability tailored for serious musicians. Its specialty pickups, contoured body and revised control layout unlock new realms of expressiveness on stage and in the studio.

Resonant Mahogany Body With Contoured Comfort

The DGT's contoured mahogany body provides the ideal foundation for its vintage-inspired voice. Mahogany's natural warmth and woody midrange character shine through each note, enhanced by the body's acoustic resonance and sustain. But the DGT's comfort goes beyond tone—its contoured profile fits snugly against your body, relieving fatigue during long gigs. The carved edges and elegant bevels make the DGT as comfortable to play as it is inspiring.

Effortless Playability With DGT Neck Profile

Designed to Grissom's specifications, the DGT's neck profile offers effortless playability. Its slim yet substantial carved profile sits perfectly in the hand, feeling neither too large nor too small. Jumbo frets provide a smooth, even surface for bending strings and articulating vibrato. And the DGT's mahogany neck imparts focused tone with enhanced sustain. Whether you're soloing, chord melting or rhythmically chugging, the DGT neck delivers the fast, fluid response your playing deserves.

Custom DGT Pickups Infuse Classic Flavor

At the heart of the DGT are its signature humbucking pickups, meticulously voiced by PRS and Grissom through extensive A/B testing of over 40 prototypes. The resulting DGT pickups recreate the warm, articulate character of vintage PAF humbuckers. You'll experience dynamic response, sparkling highs and rich midrange whether playing shimmering cleans or thick overdrive. Individual pickup volumes and a push/pull coil split on the master tone control provide immense tonal versatility.

Push-Pull for Authentic Single-Coil Tones

While the DGT humbuckers excel at rich, thick tones, the push-pull coil split unlocks a new palette of single-coil sounds. Engage it to split the humbuckers for crisp Strat-like spank and glassy chime. The coil split breathes new life into your clean tones, delivering enhanced articulation and bite. You can seamlessly blend between full humbucker warmth and searing single-coil attack as your performance demands.
