Announcing the DGT Standard
On February 17th, PRS Guitars introduced a new take on the popular DGT (David Grissom Trem) model – the DGT Standard. This all-mahogany version of Grissom’s signature model maintains many of the features unique to the DGT, including Grissom’s signature neck shape, slightly larger frets and heavier strings, tremolo capability, and specially designed DGT pickups with individual volume controls. Grissom’s original PRS signature model has been one of PRS Guitars’ most popular artist models since its introduction in 2007, so this special edition should come as no surprise for fans of the Maryland-based company.
