I have two DGTs, and they both get that early humbucker growl and sustain. They are definitely much more comfortable than any of the Les Pauls I had over the years. And they have a decent sound when the pickups are split, not really a Strat, but still usable.

@@harrysachs2274 I have a '78 LP Custom and nothing sounds like those guitars. That Norlin era gets a lot of hate, but the Customs I've played from that era seem to have a bit more top end sizzle through a moderate gain amp than any other Custom from any era I've played or been in the same room with. That said, I like PRS. Their attention to detail, even on their mid priced instruments, is far and above anything any other large guitar manufacturer (save maybe Martin) have in any price range.

The floating trems on PRS guitars are incredible, I don't know what he does but they're so musical and practical

Being a big fan of Joe Ely I was able to witness many a great show with David Grissom knocking it out of the park. I met David coming out of a Mexican restaurant in Cotati, Ca. Where they were playing a gig that night and asked him the make of the guitar he was playing, having not seen a PRS before. He told me it was a Paul Reed Smith and that the manufacturer had given it to him for free. He was amazed at that act of generosity and obviously loved the instrument. I have since purchased a DGT myself and can testify to it's inherent goodness.

That’s strange, PRS is not known for giving people guitars. If it was the green guitar that he was using when he was playing with Joe’s band, he most certainly bought that guitar. He ordered it and it was shipped to him and he tells the story on KZread.

Still to this day the DGT is hands down the sweetest sounding guitar I've ever owned. Mick is spot on with his comment about the split coil tone. They do sound great split and I've heard a million split humbuckers. This guitar is just great in every aspect. Love your guys show! Please keep them coming!!!!!!

@adamrowan-lovell6051

Always found the DGT coil splits amazing and Grissom said that normal splits are 50/50 but he wanted his at around 75% so it's more meaty and doesn't lose the volume as much. Love the thought of that and it totally makes sense!

Once I went PRS, I never went back...well, I did, because I just love guitars. But my eyes were certainly opened and what not... Even without a lot of gain, notes just sustain foreveerrrr. You can feel it through the guitar, it's like nothing else I've ever played honestly

just bought my DGT - have always liked David Grisson and watching this video definitely helped me pulling the trigger.

Love it when Mick says "I don't do that, I cannot do that" such humble attitude and proves shredding at warp speeds does not a great guitarist make.

I saw DG at the Saxon Pub and it was awesome. I just happened to be visiting the guitar shop next door and he was playing later that night. I started looking at the PRS DGT afterwards and found your video. I purchased a 2009 DGT 10 top and it’s awesome. Looks similar to the one u r playing. Your video helped me make the decision to purchase. The one I bought used was also signed by DG but is wearing off. Love it more so than any other guitar I’ve had. Enjoyed your video.

Love this guitar! The only thing I changed was making the split coil a push not a pull. For the life of me when my hands sweat during shows I absolutely could not pull the tone pot for splitting

Definitely a desert island guitar! The newer ones have a resistor in the coil tap to leave a bit of the dead coil in so instead of having a 3.75-4.25k single coil you get more like a 5.5-6k which is more in the vintage strat realm. It also does a little hum canceling so move over Suhr, or SRV's tech who wire dummy coils in the circuit to do the same thing

*Perhaps an info on the DGT's pickups:* If anyone is interested in the frequency curve charts of the two DGT pickups: You can find the diagrams of the measured frequency curves of each pickup, when you go to the PRS website, search for the "DGT" under "Electrics"/"Core"/"Signatures"/"DGT" , run down the feature list and click on each of the pickups. Then the curve diagrams are shown.....- Perhaps this is interesting for everybody who likes to get theoretical info or likes to compare the frequency charts with some of other PAF type humbuckers ... Greetings, Andy

I have two '08 DGT, and they are both wonderful guitars. They have a growl all their own, yet can get the vintage Les Paul sounds. The coil split results in a reasonable Strat sound useful for rhythm sounds, though it's definitely not the sound of a Strat. The DGT play wonderfully. Listen to what David Grissom does with them to really hear the guitar talk.

I have three which are main go tos....a Launch ed SSky, a 2013 10 Top Cu 24(my Strad) and a beautiful 2000 McCarty......

I own one and love it. There's two things I would change...1 instead of push pull I would want individual mini toggle switches...2 would disconnect tobe control from neck pickup, it's not necessary. That's the only two things I would change.

It'd be really cool if you guys could do a Pedal Show episode on Octave pedals, and the difference between the pitch shifted ones and the polyphonic ones.

@ThatPedalShow

2 жыл бұрын

Hello Rob, Mick here. There’s no such thing as ‘best’ so a better question might be, Why is it so different from a CU22 or 24? Fret number aside, it has a thicker body than the Customs and more traditional pickups. Slightly fatter neck carve I believe, different wiring. So in that sense it’s a way more traditional sounding guitar - dare I say a step or two closer to a Burst era LP than what you could expect from a PRS Custom. That manifests to me personally as a more ‘open’ tone, less focussed in the kind of strong vocal mids that I always associate with PRS guitars. It has a lot of air and depth to the tone, whereas some of the rockier PRSes are all about those cutting strident mids. Mine is also a nitro finish - the earlier ones were, again just that bit more ‘old guitar’. All of which is to say, I think you’ll find that the people who say it’s the ‘best’ PRS are those people who don’t love the more ‘modern’ tones. As for the 24-08 and 594, I kinda became confused when all that started happening. Paul got really interested in guitars that sound and feel more old school and by all accounts they are wonderful things. So I wouldn’t say better, but I would say a step or two away from those more ‘modern’ strident tones that lovers of old guitars have a hard time with. To me anyway, more balance, more poise, more air and more dynamics in the older guitars. Modern guitars are always too much pickup for me, and not enough guitar. Cheers!

great sounding guitar!!

Picked up a 2015 DGT a month ago. Still feeling it out. It is a different beast. Much more resonant than my other PRS guitars. You guys complain about the price of instruments. Do you smoke. Do you drink alcohol. Do you use drugs? All of that stuff cost a lot when use regularly. Not preaching just telling the truth. I drank liquor and did drugs. A LOT. When I stopped getting high I was able to afford decent equipment. Maybe you don't get high . Maybe you give all your money to your lady. My point is that if you want something bad enough, you make a way to get it. Kinda got off the subject, my apologies.

KcKennedy55 I like the way you think. I get my gear on finance mostly. sometimes 0 percent over 3 years, sometimes a littl interest ... ok sometimes too much. But i figured I will only live once and this is what I love. for a small fee a month, if that is the only way I can afford it? i will go for it. Just pray to god I can keep working and all will be fine.

Thanx for that great video!! - Your sound is *K-I-L-L-E-R!!* I am a big fan of David Grissom, saved every penny for at least three years - and bought me that great DGT last month....man, what a guitar!! It wasn' t easy for me (had many troubles with my wife...), but it's worth every penny and every stress!😉 My equipment: I play my guitars into an old british Vox AC-30 from the sixties with new celestion creambacks, using only a ts-808, mxr dyna-comp and an a t-rex stompbox delay to give my tone a bit more space sometimes. In my opinion, in humbucker mode the DGT reminds me of old gibson les pauls or ES-335 with them great original PAFs, in split-coil mode it has much of that classical old telecasters, but (as i said), it sounds that like to me....and you're right: all in all the lady has her own sound 🙂 I' m very, very impressed about your tone!! - *I would really like to learn more about your equipment and how you adjusted your sound at your amp (brunetti, i think, I' ve seen...?), Would you please give some info on this?* - That would really be great!! And: Don' t worry, that tapping style is not your thing! You' ve got so much great feeling in your style, you don' t need any tapping, man!! Thanx for everything, Keep rockin' and stay healthy!🎸🤘 All the best!! Andy from germany

Thank you Andreas and congrats on the DGT! Wonderful thing. Sorry about the missus, but hey, tomorrow is another day. Forwards! Erm, amps. We just dial them so they’re balanced and at the point of most reaction to the playing. It’s different with every amp, but usually is somewhere in the middle for all the controls. Balanced, responsive and loud. Loud is really important, but we understand not everyone can do this. In any case, a slightly cranked Marshall, Klon style OD and a little delay. Hello Grissom tone! Cheers man, thanks for watching and commenting!

Seriously Mick, I know your other guitars are pretty nice too, but owning this one I have no idea how you manage to spend time with any of the others... It is an incredible sounding guitar and that comes from a guy who does not particularly likes PRS guitar and is a traditional Les Paul guy. I am certainly a David Grissom fan, though! Totally envious.

What delay are you using in this vid? It sounds great, very warm. Killer guitar as well ;)

Dave Grissom! I had to have a gold top DGT because when I first saw/heard him play with Joe Ely back in the early 90s he was using a gold top PRS. Indeed my obsession for gold tops (see my profile pic) can be blamed on Dave Grissom! :)

That Pedal Show Lol! I'll say this, I'm getting a bit long in the tooth to have guitar heroes these days but Grissom is about as close as anyone could get for me!

I´ve got a DGT too . What pedal do you use for the demo? Or do you get the distortion from an amp? If it's from amp, what pedal would you use to get that sound? I usually use ODS and I want something more cañero. JHS AT You think it's a good option?

I have a Carr Sportsman , Menatone red snapper , Vemuram Jan Ray Tomo Fujita & Oddfellow Caveman v2 , I need a pedal to solos , more gain , a distorsion. Wich one do you recommend. I use the PRS DGT , a Fender Strat & a LsL Bad Bone I . Thanks !

Sounds great Mick. Generally, I am not a fan of the PRS sound-- But, that one really hits home!

+northof50now Yep. I was somewhat that way until I heard Grissom.

When I watched this video, it had 594 views, which reminded of the McCarty 594, probably the coolest PRS I've seen or heard in a demo, but yours is also. I thought the 513 (or the similar Brent Mason) would be the most versatile PRS, which would be handy for doing cover band gigs.

+Lawrence Gillespie Excellent! I haven't played a 594 yet. They look lovely. When I say 'versatile' I guess I mean versatile within the context of what it is. I'd never not take the Strat or 290 as well. That whole Super Guitar versatile thing.... not for me. It has to be it's own thing. Plus, why take one guitar when you can take three?

That Pedal Show It's definitely nice to have the luxury of two or three guitars on stage and switch to suit each song. It gives your audience something different look at and listen to. That said, I watched an Eric Johnson concert where he played the same Strat for the whole show, and he got all sorts of sounds out of it, but then, he's not quite human, is he :-)

My own take is that a versatile guitar, done well, is its own thing-just many different things of its own. Mind you, this is coming from someone who recently finished the wiring diagram for his 24″ scale length, double humbucker partsocaster project: 104 tonal options, with a two-band EQ (a tweaked version of Leo Fender's PTB [Passive Treble and Bass] tone circuit, from his G&L Guitars era).

Due to peripheral neuropathy I cannot play 11's. Wonder how it plays with 9-42's or 9-46's?

Hey fellas! I've always been a tweed Fender and plexi Marshall guy - I recently scored a nice little 65ri Princeton - can y'all do a vid that could help me out with some OD options on the blackface sound?

Mick, I absolutely loved your tone in this segment. I have become a big Grissom fan of late, and I expect a DGT will be a future purchase. On your tone here...were you running both amps simultaneously?

@ThatPedalShow

+guitargeezer Thank you! Yeah, both amps on - we tend to use two together - in this case the AC30 and the Super, and two Kingsley Page for the most driven bits. It's a lovely noise! :0)

that tone at 2:20 though :D

Dam it !! I want one now !! Ha Ha

Hey Mick! I have a dgt from that same year. By far my favorite guitar. I was wondering, what's the height of your pickups?

Love the DGT. My 2009 DGT is the best guitar I've ever played and its definitely a "keeper". Probably the perfect neck profile for me and the pickups are amazing. I was a bit worried about going up to 11's but the DGT changed my mind on that and I now put 11's on most things. Interesting that you mentioned the coil tap giving a useable single coil tone. I love the tapped sound from the DGT but i do sometimes feel that the volume drop is just a tad to extreme relative to the full bucker. Have you tried the post 2012 wiring that doesn't fully tap the first coil? I've been thinking about doing that to mine for a while but haven't had the guts to tinker with something so perfect.

+Glasgow Guitarist Haven't tried it, sounds cool though. I have such extremes of volume available from the board that I probably wouldn't look to the guitar for level changes. I'm also always on the volume pots so there's always a sound in there somewhere. I probably wouldn't use it for specific sounds as such, more in the case where the whole mix is maybe a bit muddy, or the other guitar player has a big fat sound and I'm struggling to hear myself sing. Then I'd thin it out maybe, just to sit in the mix better. Maybe....

Great videos guys! I look forward to each weeks offering. One question on the PRS - is the neck heavier than the body on this guitar? Such was the case on an old PRS hollow body - it turned out to be a deal breaker for me.
