The DGT (David Grissom Trem) is the result of more than 20 years of collaboration between Paul Smith and David Grissom. The DGT is based on the McCarty platform with a unique DGT neck shape, taller frets, special pickups, and a revised control layout. Grissom and Paul spent a year A/B-ing more than forty sets of pickups before nailing the vintage-voice of DGT humbuckers. When paired with individual volume controls for each pickup and a push/pull master tone control that operates the coil taps, DGT pickups provide versatility and articulation.
“The DGT is a product a lot of miles down the road: a lot of gigs, a lot of records. It’s like picking up a vintage guitar. It sounds like a vintage guitar, and out of the box it’s ready to go. There’s a whole lot of thought gone into this. The DGT is pretty perfect to me.” – David Grissom
Meticulous design delivering sonic fidelity, player ergonomics, and revolutionary tuning stability.
Modern locking technology with vintage elegance, these tuners promote tone transfer for a louder, more resonant instrument.
Beautiful rhythm and solo tone with a Texas voice.

“At first glance, the DGT is pretty much what we’ve come to expect from PRS — meaning it’s flawless and gorgeous...You need to play the DGT to really grasp the Grissomization, however.”
