Paul Reed Smith DGT (David Grissom Trem) - Faded Blue Jean #414056

The Paul Reed Smith DGT in Faded Blue Jean is the embodiment of collaboration between artistry and precision, the seamless union of Paul Reed Smith’s relentless pursuit of excellence and David Grissom’s deep understanding of the guitar as both an instrument and a voice. Together, they shaped a design that is as expressive as it is refined, a guitar that is equally at home in the intimate glow of a small club as it is under the powerful lights of the stage. The DGT has become one of the most beloved artist models in the PRS lineage, and in this Faded Blue Jean finish, it reveals its character with striking elegance, draped in color that evokes worn denim, timeless and confident.

The body is a masterwork of balance, built with a solid mahogany foundation and crowned with a carved 10 Top maple that carries the graceful violin carve for which PRS is celebrated. This partnership of tonewoods produces a voice that is warm, articulate, and deeply resonant. The high-gloss nitro finish allows the guitar to shimmer under light while giving room for the wood to breathe and mature. At just over eight pounds, the instrument offers the solidity of a true workhorse while still inviting the player to move with ease.

The neck is a single piece of mahogany, sculpted into the DGT profile that reflects David Grissom’s personal preference for comfort and command. Its carefully considered depth, from 27/32 of an inch at the nut to 61/64 at the 12th fret, gives a substantial yet fluid feel, a carve that seems to guide the hand rather than resist it. The rosewood fretboard, set with the signature PRS bird inlays, radiates warmth and elegance, its ten-inch radius offering the perfect blend of vintage familiarity and modern playability. Every detail from the PRS double-acting truss rod to the Phase III locking tuners with their faux-bone buttons contributes to the sense that this guitar was made not only to perform, but to inspire.

Electronics have been shaped to meet Grissom’s exacting standards. The custom DGT pickups are voiced with clarity and dynamic sensitivity, capable of everything from crystalline cleans to roaring overdrive. Two independent volume controls, paired with a push/pull tone control and three-way toggle switch, give the player limitless command over textures and blends, allowing subtle adjustments that can completely reshape the voice of the guitar. This versatility ensures that the DGT is not merely a tool, but an extension of the player’s imagination.

The hardware, finished in hybrid, includes the PRS patented Gen II tremolo system, engineered for both stability and expression. It encourages players to bend notes with precision or shimmer chords with gentle motion, all while maintaining impeccable tuning thanks to the Phase III tuners and PRS nut. Strung with PRS Signature 11-49s and featuring a plain “G,” the guitar has been set up exactly to Grissom’s preference, ensuring that every nuance of touch translates into sound.

Paul Reed Smith’s guitars have long been the standard by which craftsmanship is measured, and the DGT is a shining testament to this tradition. It captures the vision of a master builder and the voice of a world-class musician in a single instrument. Housed in its hardshell case, the Paul Reed Smith DGT in Faded Blue Jean is not only a guitar of exceptional quality but also a piece of living artistry, ready to accompany its player through a lifetime of songs.
