SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION in 2007, the PRS DGT (for David Grissom Trem) has been one of the most successful, and most highly acclaimed, variations on the flagship PRS models and a firm favorite of numerous guitarists. Created in close collaboration with the Texas guitar slinger, the DGT is often held up as the PRS to convert players who didn’t think they liked PRS, and as one of the most versatile electric-guitar designs period from any major maker.
Given that history, the arrival of the more affordable PRS SE DGT is seen as a big deal in some circles — and should be a big deal for anyone seeking an extremely flexible, capable performer at adesign origination and QC oversight of the PRS USA headquarters in Stevensville, Maryland, has played a big part in that achievement. If anything, I’ve experienced the SE range improving steadily over the years, and my initial impression upon sliding the SE DGT out of its gig bag is that this isn’t likely to change soon.
