PRS DGT Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar, McCarty Sunburst

Colorful, customized, and bursting with personality, the PRS DGT Semi-Hollow is a loving tribute to guitarist David Grissom and a striking testament to the power of creative collaboration. David Grissom, touring and recording artist with elbows bumped with the various Allman Brothers, Dixie Chicks, Chris Isaaks, and Bob Dylans of his time, knows his way around a PRS guitar. This customized, signature, semi-hollow model shines bright with a classically-inspired burst finish and one-of-a-kind PRS-designed specs for a glorious, glorious signature.

David Grissom and Paul Reed Smith's creative relationship goes back decades. As a touring artist, Smith would frequently tap Grissom for his opinions on how his guitars performed on stages all around the world, night after night. In turn, Grissom's unique insights on the trials of touring would inform PRS models moving forward. The PRS DGT Semi-Hollow is a unique vision of Grissom's outlook on electric guitars.

This signature semi-hollow begins with a classic double-cutaway PRS body. Iconic in so many ways, this body comes together with a mahogany back and a PRS Artist Grade figured maple top. Decked in a sleek high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish and fitted with a single F-Hole and a PRS violin carve, this body is designed for maximized mobility and comfort while delivering rich, resonant semi-hollow tonality.

For performance night after night, this PRS brings on a one-piece mahogany set neck in a custom PRS DGT profile. The custom profile carries a slightly thicker shape moving from the first to twelfth fret, from about .84" thick at the first to .95" near the twelfth. Made for smooth travels with a bit of that vintage fullness, this neck plays like a dream. A rosewood fingerboard joins in at this juncture with twenty-two frets laid out across a classic PRS ten-inch radius. This board, its frets, and its flatter, more modern radius feel, is primed for performance. What's more, custom PRS Moons inlays feature a unique crescent design for that added visual flourish.

What would a PRS be without some humbucking heat, am I right? Luckily, the PRS DGT Semi-Hollow's got plenty. For its voice, this PRS loads in two custom-designed PRS DGT humbucking pickups. These humbuckers balance classic warmth with great clarity for checking all the tonal boxes on your setlist. Two independent volume controls for each pickup introduces interesting blends when balancing their different voicings in a mix alongside a push/pull coil tap control that alter the pickups' output for even deeper sonic sculpting.

Wrapping everything together, we've got a few closer considerations for playability and intonation. For one, the DGT Semi-Hollow features a Gen II PRS Patented Tremolo bridge with PRS Phase III Locking tuning machines for steady intonation and a responsive play feel even with deep vibrato bends. The guitar's nickel hardware lands alongside a PRS-designed nut and the iconic PRS asymmetric headstock. This PRS DGT Semi-Hollow travels with an included PRS hardshell case.

The might of two musical minds in motion, there's no more else to say, it's the PRS DGT Semi-Hollow.
