For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this excellent, all-original 2008 PRS DGT—a first-year example of one of Paul Reed Smith’s most celebrated artist signature models.

Introduced in 2008 after years of close collaboration between PRS and guitarist David Grissom, the DGT was conceived as a refined, performance-driven evolution of the McCarty platform. Every detail—from the proprietary pickups and wiring scheme to the fretwire and neck carve—was developed to meet Grissom’s exacting standards, resulting in an instrument that balances vintage-inspired tone with modern precision and reliability.

This particular example is a first-year DGT and remains in excellent cosmetic condition, exhibiting well below average play-wear. The finish is clean and vibrant, with only light, honest signs of careful use. The guitar is original throughout, with no cracks, breaks, or repair history, and presents as a well-cared-for instrument that has clearly seen responsible ownership.

The neck is a standout feature, offering the DGT’s signature profile—substantial yet exceptionally comfortable, with a feel that encourages both expressive bending and articulate chord work. Original frets remain in excellent condition, and the guitar plays effortlessly with low action and consistent response across the fingerboard. Acoustically, it is lively and resonant; plugged in, the DGT humbuckers deliver a versatile tonal palette, blending warmth and clarity with dynamic sensitivity. The unique volume-per-pickup and shared tone control layout allows for nuanced control and seamless transitions between sounds.

The guitar includes its original PRS tremolo arm along with original PRS literature, including the model card and warranty materials—details that underscore both its originality and long-term collectability.

Altogether, this is a highly desirable first-year PRS DGT that offers exceptional playability, tonal depth, and historical significance within the PRS lineup. Whether you’re a devoted PRS player, a David Grissom fan, or a collector seeking an early, unmodified example of a modern classic, this DGT represents a compelling and increasingly sought-after instrument.
