Paul Reed Smith DGT Moons - McCarty Sunburst with Hard Shell Case

The Paul Reed Smith DGT Moons – Vintage Tone with Modern Versatility

A Collaboration Years in the Making

The PRS DGT (David Grissom Trem) is the result of over 20 years of refinement between Paul Reed Smith and legendary guitarist David Grissom. Built on the foundation of the McCarty model, the DGT offers a unique neck shape, taller frets, and custom-wound pickups that capture the essence of vintage tone with modern playability. From countless gigs to studio sessions, this guitar has been carefully crafted to deliver an inspiring playing experience straight out of the case.

Exceptional Tonewoods and Premium Construction

The DGT features a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, combining warmth, sustain, and clarity in perfect balance. Finished in a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the McCarty Sunburst finish enhances the depth and character of the maple top. The set-neck construction ensures exceptional resonance and sustain, making this guitar as reliable as it is sonically rich.

Signature DGT Neck Profile and Comfortable Playability

Designed with Grissom’s input, the DGT neck shape offers a comfortable grip that enhances both chordal playing and lead work. The rosewood fingerboard features a 10” radius and 22 jumbo frets, allowing for smooth bending and expressive phrasing. With a 25” scale length and a PRS double-acting truss rod, this guitar provides a sturdy and balanced feel, perfect for long hours of playing on stage or in the studio.

Custom-Wound Pickups for Versatile Tones

The DGT humbuckers were meticulously developed through rigorous A/B testing of over forty pickup sets to achieve a true vintage voice. With independent volume controls for each pickup and a push/pull master tone knob for coil-splitting, the DGT delivers everything from thick, creamy leads to crisp single-coil chime. The 3-way toggle switch allows seamless tonal transitions, making it an excellent choice for players who demand flexibility without compromise.

High-Performance Hardware for Precision and Stability

Equipped with a PRS Patented Tremolo Gen III bridge and Phase III tuners with faux-bone buttons, the DGT ensures stable tuning and precise intonation. The nickel hardware complements the classic aesthetic, while the PRS nut and set-neck construction contribute to the guitar’s remarkable sustain and resonance. Designed for professional reliability, this instrument is ready to handle any musical setting with confidence.
