Wood Library DGT Faded Whale Blue #172468
PRS DGT Wood Library in Faded Whale Blue with a stunning Quilt Maple Top, the blue really highlights the quilted figure in the Maple.. From a Special Order run built in 2011. Lovely dark Rosewood fingerboard with Abalone bird inlays. These are a great sounding model with the DGT Pickups giving a nice fat tone with coil splits adding versatility. Dave Grissom neck profile feels great too. In good condition, light signs of use and a small lacquer chip by the top strap button (see photo in gallery) but nothing serious. DGT's don't seem to come in very often these days and this is a stunning example with a quilt top like this! With Tags and Original case.

The DGT (David Grissom Trem) is the result of more than 20 years of collaboration between Paul Smith and David Grissom. The DGT is based on the McCarty with a unique DGT neck shape, taller frets, special pickups, and a revised control layout. Grissom and Paul spent a year A/B-ing more than forty sets of pickups before nailing the vintage-voice of DGT humbuckers. When paired with individual volume controls for each pickup and a push/pull master tone control that operates the coil taps, DGT pickups provide versatility and articulation.
“The DGT is a product a lot of miles down the road: a lot of gigs, a lot of records. It’s like picking up a vintage guitar. It sounds like a vintage guitar, and out of the box it’s ready to go. There’s a whole lot of thought gone into this. The DGT is pretty perfect to me.” – David Grissom
