The Making of the PRS SE DGT | Part 3 | PRS Guitars
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 дек 2022
- Step behind the scenes at PRS to see the development of our brand new SE model, the PRS SE DGT. The original DGT (David Grissom Trem) has been a part of the Core lineup of PRS Maryland-made guitars for many years. In this three-part mini-series, we explore the process of bringing this model into the SE series - ahead of the guitar’s release in January 2023. Watch Part 3 as we explore the “why” behind this new model, our longtime relationship with PRS artist David Grissom, and a high-level overview of the work we have ahead.
Subscribe and stay tuned for the official artist demo, coming in January!
“I didn’t just rubber stamp this. This guitar is something I have been very involved in and am really proud of. The SE Series is lightyears ahead of anything I could get my hands on when I started playing - it’s amazing how far the quality has come - and I am proud to be able to offer this guitar to more people,” - David Grissom

PRS rules. Period.
I typed the first comment here just so you know
Why use two full stops?
Yes they do rule.
@@classicraceruk1337 it’s actually three full stops/periods.
@@waitin4winter Nope it’s actually incorrect use of British English. There should just be one full stop, nothing else. Americanisms should be banned.
Grissom is SO bad ass. The first chord he hit, and there is THAT sound.
What a masterclass in marketing a new guitar. I really enjoyed this series, and really wish we could have seen the same thing for John Mayer, Mark Holcomb, Joe Walsh, Mark Tremonti, and all the other PRS artists. Other guitar companies - take note!
I was thinking the same thing about this pr campaign. Cort has been making excellent import guitars since the late 70s/early 80s but nobody talks about them. I own a PRS se and its quality is pretty much the same as the rest of Cor-tek's instruments: great. Add an ad campaign and it's all of a sudden some exciting PRS product. I dont really believe Dave Grissom cant really tell the difference between the import and the USA product, mostly because the tops are very different. The SE doesn't have the cut outs for the pots and not much of a carved top. Marketing is an artform in itself.
I’ve enjoyed this three part series...thanks to David and the PRS crew. I can't help but smile when I see the excitement and commitment of the PRS staff and their artists. Paul, you have a great company !
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the guitar model I've been waiting for. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
yeah , that guitar sorta calls to ya
Me too… ordered mine yesterday!
I do not need another guitar. I do not need another guitar. I do not need another guitar.
I love that gold top and it sounds amazing. I’d like to have the core model, but this SE looks pretty great as well.
I've always wanted a DGT but it was never in my financial aim. Now it looks like I'll have my chance to get pretty close. Thanks PRS and Mr Grissom and all the good people that made the SE model a reality.
Me too, pretty excited about it.
I was lucky enough to essentially trade a 2015 Gibson Les Paul Std that I got for a good price for a mint 2018 DGT. Super happy with the change. PRS are so consistent and playable. That's my golden rule, if it's doesn't make you want to play it then it needs to go out the door. A LOT have gone out the door. My DGT and Tremonti are staying put.
You just don’t want it bad enough to get the core.. there’s always a way
@B Mark maybe not. I do have an S2 mccarty thinline and an SE Paul's so maybe had I not gotten those but at the time they were able to be bought. I just never had the 5k at hand for the core DGT. At least now in a little while I'll be able to afford the SE.
@@SPR-Pedals SAME. I have a DGT and tremonti both core models. They are perfect guitars in totally different ways. Can get any sound i need between the two of em. Everything else has come and gone.
I have so much enjoyed this video series. I am a PRS fanboy. I have 2 … I have always wanted to try a DGT. David’s tone is awesome. My wife is Indonesian, so this SE model makes me very proud. This may be the DGT I get, when Singapore finally gets some of these in stock. Great work PRS.
Oh man... I can't wait to try this one next year.
The detail these guys go into is unbelievable 😍 👏
Wow! Just wow
So glad David is getting an SE. The core model is so good! Really under rated and under represented
That gold with bird inlays would be perfect
Yupp! I'll start saving for mine now
8:52 i have said it before but ill say it again, PRS have created a monster with the SE line! Rhett was complaining that maybe PRS guitars were too consistent but for me thats one of the reasons why i love them!
Yeah man, What's not to like about consistency
He's a really good player and makes solid videos, but sometimes he says really dumb things. I don't believe i've ever heard someone call poor quality control, and greater tolerances/variability in a brand, "character" before.
@@tacdoc8736 agree 100%
He likes playing 10 Les Pauls to find one that's put together properly.
I think Paul tells the story that DG doesn't take his own guitar to store clinics, he picks a stock DGT off the wall and expects it to play like his own. There is no good/bad year cherry picking variability.
Different strokes for different folks. I know which one I'd have more confidence buying. But maybe PRS can send Rhett a few rejects if it makes him appreciate a QC Pass one a bit more 😜
@@tacdoc8736 he was being facetious.
Ordered a gold top last night. Love the attention to detail and tone on this guitar. Most people can't afford the real thing so to get such quality at a midpoint price level is really appreciated. Thank you to the whole PRS team around the world and David Grissom for his creative input.
David is such a legend!
Oh man can’t wait to play one!!!! LOVE PRS
Just ordered mine literally 15 mins ago from Sweetwater!!! Tobacco Sunburst. Waiting for locking tuners to be in stock!!! ANXIOUS!!! CAN'T WAIT
Looks and sounds awesome
The attention to detail is on another level. I love it.
Wonderful!
Wow! That is an absolute home run!
Great series!!
AWESOMENESS DEFINED !!!!!!!! 😊👍💚🎸💚👍😊
I’m so pumped! Gold top looks so sweet
Such a cool series. Love all the passion that went into this from all involved.
What a Great adventure! .... following the work involved and how much really goes into making a "Signature" SE that the Artist is Really proud of. Bravo! This is a guitar that will definitely be on my radar.
A sunburst DGT SE is my first-ever PRS guitar, and damn, it's one fine instrument. Thanks, guys!!!
Very excited to order mine!
BOOM !!💥 Video#3. Loving this model in both colors but that gold is awsome. Great to see this guitar in production. I’m in.
PRS is the BEST!! thanks for the 3 episodes!!
This series was awesome and I’ll definitely be adding this to my arsenal of PRS guitars
Yes. Ordering one for sure.
I think this is going to be one of PRS's best sellers ever!
PRS bringing awesome content as usual from behind the scenes. Love it! Can’t wait to try a DGT SE!
Bought the DGT SE goldtop last week. First PRS and I'm loving it. Stoked that I found my PRS.
So glad they are offering it with the goldtop!
Love this!
This has been an wonderful insight series of episodes! Thanks very much for sharing the process and knowledge to everyone involved.
Great launch. All 3 videos provide insight into the SE DGT. Looking forward to checking one out.
I love my DGT and David is a fantastic musician! I can’t wait to pick up these!
Can't Wait To Order One!!
PRS is killing it!
Ordered mine last night. Can’t wait!
Thank you PRS , THE bucket list guitar at a reachable price! I can’t wait !!
You‘ve done a great job here! I‘m not a goldtop guy, but this one.. yes!👍
Extremely cool to see continued interest in quality axes for those of us without deep pockets...Carry on!
Whoever produced these videos knocked it out of the park. I can't wait for this guitar.
I’ve loved this “Making of” series! I found the discussion of the Goldtop finish especially cool.
Very cool! Can’t wait to try these.
Same here :)
Pretty excited about this one....
The gold top will be my next guitar! Beautiful 👍
🥰 an SE with no birds, thanks😀
Absolutely brilliant. And 2 thou. WOW
SEs are incredible guitars and now we know how 🎸🤘🤘💯😎❤️
Thanks for this series of videos. Love that you gave us such an in depth insight into how you make your SE guitars, so many brands seem to ignore their lower priced tiers and I love that although core models are out of reach for many, the SE's are given just as much thought and attention. Looking forward to trying a DGT in 2023, I expect I will have to make room for one in the collection in the new year!
Just ordered my Sunburst PRS-DGT-SE and can't wait to get my hands on it. My first PRS I bought in 1987 so I feel a connection with PRS although I'm a Strat guy through and through!
Thank You
This SE DGT is truly an inspirational instrument.
I've had it just a couple of days and I'm already playing new things on it.
❤
Amazing series. I loved the videos and can't wait for this to be released. I love the look of the gold top. I love all my SE PRS guitars. Once I pick it up I can be lost for hours.
Thanks for the kind words, @Heavenreck.
This is very cool I have taken my SE custom 24 and did the DGT wiring on it and look forward to checking out the DGT SE possibly purchasing one for myself
Congratulations to David and PRS. My core DGT has been my number one for the last two years. I look forward to trying the SE model.
I’m enjoying that the SE models are sporting the PRS badge loud and proud!
Honestly, I’ve had a slew of PRS guitars over the decades from very early PRS models to an Artist Series to multiple SE models and I’ve literally watched this company and it’s guitars grow and only get better.
If there was a “bad” eta, I’m not aware of it. Not a fanboy but a big fan.
I just pulled the trigger on a dream Fender Custom Shop 1959 Esquire and I’ll be buying a DGT SE too and I’m just as excited to get my hands on one!
Well done guys 🤘🏻
Just such a beautiful story from the heritage, early years and David has been one of, if not the pioneer of the brand of a players, player! Honored to have owned a DGT, met David while I lived and played full time in Austin and to hear him at least 7 plus times live, just incredible memories. Love David with all my heart, he was part of my coming to adult hood as a teenager, pro and man
Very excited to try one of these out. Always wanted a DGT but as a non-pro couldn't justify the expense. If this gets me close I'll buy one. Goldtop, of course!
I have a Santana se and I've been playing it for almost 20 years and it still holds perfect tuning. PRS for Life!
It is so awesome to see a great company, partner with a great artist, and create a fantastic product…especially at an affordable price point!!! Thanks PRS and David!
What is the price ?
I went out to buy a PRS SE. Didn't know which one, did no research on purpose, price was no issue (within SE range was all ok). Just sit and play. Out of the 40 SE guitars they had, two came out on top for me. The DGT goldtop and the Paul's guitar. The DGT came home with me, I didn't even know it was a signature guitar, it just played and looked so good. Amazing!
Damn, I thought I was done buying guitars for a while. Those pickups sound great!
That burst with birds will be my next guitar purchase. I have wanted an SE-model with trem, 22 frets and some other color than black. SE DGT will check all the right boxes for me.
Love it ❤
Great serie
It’s fun to see the Goldtop version of the SE. I have an ‘08 DGT Goldtop with moon inlays. It’s got weather checking, the back is worn and has worming, but it sings, and is my favorite guitar. The SE sounds right and if Grissom says it feels right then it’s going to be a great seller.
Awesome! I pre-ordered the day the first video came out :) Gold Top with Moons to go with my Tremonti and C24 Piezo... If I love it I'll order a Core. I'm loving that you guys are making these SE models that are so close it gives us a glimpse of the Core before we drop that kind of cash.
Idk if first and foremost it was for a glimpse of the core…I think they wanted to make an instrument for people that couldn’t drop multiple thousands of dollars on a guitar and still have a high quality product.
I will buy one of these the second they drop.
I love this story, I have a core McCarty and I hear the Sunburst DGT calling my name. PRS to me feels like a custom guitar. Amazing guitars!
I've been waiting for years to get a second guitar to go with my Strat. I think I've found it. That gold top sounds and looks awesome.
I think there are a lot of people anticipating this model. I have wanted a chance to have a DGT but my budget doesn’t allow me to swing the core model. This could be the best PRS SE model they make. We will see. Proof is in the playing. If David approves it that’s good enough for me. Love both finishes also. Can’t wait to play one in person!
I could not afford the core model for the moment. But i know that SE would not be a "second" choice. There is love in it.
Amazing marketing they are doing here for what is sure to be a very successful product. It’s especially fitting, because David is the PRS artist par excellence.
Got money ready! Dgt goldtop! Let's go!
The DgT is my main guitar. And i would love to get one of these to use live, if it sounds anywhere near, so I could keep my 2008 at home. I can't wait to try one.
I'm already talking to my local PRS dealer about these. I'm excited to try one once they get them.
I have a Core DGT, the SE should be fantastic. Now I'm looking forward to the video's for the Miles Kennedy T - Style guitar! Hopefully January?
Myles definitely deserves a signature model, and that T-style that's been coming up in recent photos is getting noticed a lot. I've never owned a T-style, but that would be one to peak my interest and plug that tonal gap.
Hope I can play one soon…if David approves I’m sure it will feel great
Looks great, also nice gr86!
I've had the birds tattooed on my left arm since 2006. I love my PRS', and it's always fun when people ask about the birds. Paul told me at a clinic in Mississauga Canada that I was the first to tattoo the birds, and I'm taking that to my grave!
I was going to get myself a new guitar for Christmas. But I'd happily postpone a month for this!
oh man i will be buying that gold top!
Oh I’ve been waiting for the third video! Something tells me PRS will upload anytime soon and here it is posted 50 mins ago!
Boy that thing sounds good.
Cant wait for it
For players like me, the SE line has been a way to get on the PRS train without selling multiple organs. The DGT looks like another home run addition to the line. Will go quite nicely with my SE Soapbar ll and SE Custom 22.
I’m waiting for mine! And it is possible that I might get it on my birthday. That would be cool 😎
A DGT SE is next on my list. Have a Tremonti SE that I love. PRS has done a fabulous job with the revamped SE line as many of simply cannot afford to drop thousands on a decent guitar. With the SE series, we don’t have to.
Great series of mini doccos. I've long admired David Grissom, and the DGT has all the features I want in a guitar. Sadly, the Core model is out of my reach, so I'm totally sold on the idea of the SE DGT! I've never owned a PRS, but I have a feeling that's about to change and it won't be long before I get this one...
love the moons .
I CANNOT wait to try on at my local PRS dealer next month!
Can’t wait!
I’m looking forward to this so much. As soon as they hit Andertons I’ll be there. Loved the core version so can’t wait to wrap my hands around the SE version and see how it stacks up.
Interesting carve, rounded around the horns with the lip towards the back. Kind of the blend of a modern Ce24 and SE.
