About David Grissom

Since then he has toured with, among others, the Allman Brothers and the Dixie Chicks. He has also released four studio albums to date: Loud Music, 10,000 Feet, Way Down Deep and How It Feels to Fly. David Grissom is an avowed Paul Reed Smith fan and plays several PRS models. However, his favorite is his signature, the PRS DGT (David Grissom Trem), which is available in a variety of styles and price ranges.

Co-developed by the artist

The PRS SE DGT brings David Grissom's signature model to the SE series for the first time. Based on the McCarty model, the DGT has been a perennial favorite since its introduction in 2007, thanks to Grissom's deep knowledge of Vintage guitars and his meticulous attention to detail. Every feature of the SE DGT has been carefully considered, from the neck shape to the choice of frets, from the colors to the pickups and the electronics layout. David Grissom controlled every step of development and put his own hands into it. The SE DGT features Vintage humbuckers with volume controls for each pickup and a push/pull master tone control that provides smooth single-coil sounds . Other features include a maple top, mahogany bottom, 22-fret mahogany neck with 25"scale length, rosewood fretboard and Birds or Moon inlays.

About PRS

PRS Guitars sets its own standards when it comes to electric guitars. At session you will find not only the high class PRS custom shop guitars but also models from the mid-price range and electric basses from PRS. At NAMM 2016, PRS is taking a look into the past and, with the CE 24 models, has been presenting guitars with screw-on neck and maple necks in their main range for many years, which offer an interesting alternative to traditional construction. Later, the collaboration with John Mayer resulted in an incredibly successful instrument, the Silver Sky series, which was initially supplemented by additional colors and later by a cheaper SE series .

Through his great passion for guitar building and meticulous research and optimization of his models, company founder Paul Reed Smith has been creating instruments that are rightly considered true works of art for over 40 years. Not only guitar legends like Carlos Santana play the high-quality PRS guitars from the standard series, the exclusive Private Stock or even the cheaper SE production.

Paul Reed Smith is making a name for himself

The American guitar maker PRS Guitars was officially founded in 1985, but the company's founder and namesake, Paul Reed Smith, has been making guitars since around 1975. By giving his guitars to stars like Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola and Peter Frampton and convincing them directly, his instruments became more and more famous. Series production of the Custom 24 finally began in 1985. With former Gibson President Ted McCarty, Paul Reed Smith was able to gain an experienced consultant and the course was set for success for the guitars with the typical bird inlays in the fretboard .

Every guitar is a custom shop model

PRS guitars tend to be in the higher price ranges because of the high-quality materials and careful workmanship. The SE line, which has been manufactured in Korea and is of a high quality despite cheaper materials, has existed since the 1990s. The S2 series forms a link because the instruments are made in the USA, but are still quite affordable.

PRS calls all instruments custom shop instruments due to the high quality and customization options, but with the private stock instruments the company goes one step further and sets real standards in terms of materials, quality, originality and individuality. All PRS guitars have one thing in common: they are real workhorses with a lot of flexibility and look outrageously good at the same time. This can also be seen in the countless endorsers who swear by their PRS , as well as the numerous signature models from artists such as John Mayer, Carlos Santana, Orianthi, Mark Tremonti and Chad Kroeger.
