The PRS SE DGT is big news for the brand in 2023: the highly-rated US David Grissom signature guitar delivered in a more affordable Indonesian-made form. And Richard Barrett is a superb candidate to get to grips with it here for Guitarist magazine.
Here he has the slightly pricier flamed maple Tobacco Sunburst £1049 model rather than the £979 Gold Top, but elsewhere the specs are identical. And the combination might just has set the standard for the best electric guitar under £1,000 this year.
Hear for yourself below – this is a lot of guitar and Richard's pro player approach to demoing the sounds is a great showcase of the tapers and tones you get here, and in comparison to the far. more expensive US-made Core version.
