The DGT is one of PRS’s best player’s guitars in my opinion, because it sits in that sweet spot between vintage feel and modern refinement. The 25" scale, jumbo frets and DGT neck carve give it a really distinctive feel under the hand, and the control layout is a big part of why so many players get on with them so well. Having separate volume controls and a master tone with coil tap makes it much more versatile than a lot of dual-humbucker guitars, but without becoming fiddly. The Faded Whale Blue Smokeburst finish always works brilliantly on a DGT too, and a nice quilt top just makes that colour look even richer. It is the sort of finish that can really elevate the guitar from already attractive to properly standout. The DGT platform is officially described by PRS as using its own neck shape, jumbo frets, DGT pickups, and revised control layout, which is exactly why these have such a strong reputation as real-world player’s guitars.
Condition Report
Excellent condition. Presents very cleanly overall with only light signs of use. Nice quilt top on this example.
