Paul Reed Smith DGT (David Grissom Trem) - Faded Blue Jean #416891

The Paul Reed Smith DGT in Faded Blue Jean stands as a masterpiece born from the long collaboration between Paul Reed Smith and the great David Grissom, a player whose tone and touch have inspired countless musicians. With its radiant high-gloss nitro finish, this instrument glows like a piece of fine art, revealing a mesmerizing 10 Top maple cap that ripples with depth and movement against the rich mahogany body beneath. The elegant violin carve enhances its sculpted presence, offering both visual grace and resonant authority. From the first glance to the first note, it is a guitar that speaks with the voice of experience and intention.

The 25-inch scale length feels like a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, giving each note an effortless blend of warmth and snap. Its one-piece mahogany neck, shaped to the DGT profile, feels alive in the hand—slim enough for agility, yet substantial enough for soulful bends and expressive phrasing. The neck’s depths are carved with precision, measuring just shy of 7/8 at the first fret and opening slightly as it approaches the twelfth, ensuring comfort throughout the range. The rosewood fingerboard, adorned with PRS’s iconic bird inlays, glides beneath the fingers with a natural, polished ease, its 10-inch radius accommodating both chords and soaring leads with equal grace.

Every element of the DGT’s design is built around feel and sound. The PRS patented Gen II tremolo and Phase III locking tuners offer smooth pitch control and impeccable tuning stability, while the hybrid hardware adds a subtle touch of refinement to its already distinguished aesthetic. At its core, the twin DGT humbuckers are tuned to perfection, offering a wide sonic palette that moves effortlessly from crystalline cleans to full-throated, singing sustain. The unique control layout—two volumes and a push/pull tone control tied to a three-way toggle—gives players infinite control over blend and texture, inviting exploration in every register.

Each DGT is not just a guitar but a partnership between artist and craftsman. The Faded Blue Jean finish, shimmering like light across water, is both timeless and bold, a perfect reflection of Grissom’s blend of rootsy authenticity and modern sophistication. At a comfortable 7 pounds 13 ounces, it feels perfectly balanced against the body, resonant and alive even before it meets an amplifier. Nestled safely within its hardshell case, this instrument is a living embodiment of the PRS philosophy—where beauty, tone, and playability converge in harmony. The DGT is not merely a tool for expression; it is an invitation to discover new music every time you pick it up.
