PRS DGT SH Tiger Eye Moons

From the McCarty to the DGT: A Signature Designed with David Grissom

The result of over 20 years of collaboration between PRS Guitars and David Grissom, the DGT (David Grissom Trem) embodies the spirit of the top-tier PRS Core series with a decidedly "musician-focused" approach. This Semi-Hollow version retains the fundamentals of the DGT (ergonomics, electronics, vibrato, wood selection) while adding the dynamic response of a semi-hollow body. The idea: a more airy response, an instrument that "breathes," while maintaining the stability and reliability expected on stage. David Grissom summarizes the concept's appeal as "slightly warmer highs" and "more controlled feedback."

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The PRS Guitars DGT Semi-Hollow Tiger Eye "Moons" is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a high-end electric capable of performing in rehearsal, studio, and live settings. Its dual volume controls facilitate nuances, pickup blending, and gain control. It excels in blues, rock, country, roots, and americana, while also proving very convincing in pop and funk when using the push/pull split to gain clarity and attack.

Sound Characteristics

The DGT humbuckers offer a vintage-inspired tone with singing mids, silky highs, and firm lows, ideal for expressive overdrives as well as cleaner sounds. The push/pull tone wiring unlocks finer, snappier tones perfect for defined rhythms or arpeggios. The semi-hollow construction adds airiness to the attack, a more immediate response feel, and a dynamic sensitivity to right-hand playing. The mahogany provides warmth and sustain, while the carved flamed maple top enhances precision and projection. Finally, the 25" / 635 mm scale perfectly balances string tension, and the PRS Gen II vibrato contributes to stable, musical, and accurate note sustain.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup, use a set of 11-49 strings with a plain G string. A standard 2-point strap will fit the strap buttons, and a good-quality 6.35 mm jack cable (straight or angled) is recommended to preserve pickup definition. Hard case included.
