The DGT Semi-Hollow is based on one of David Grissom's own Private Stock guitars, and Grissom notes it joined the regular PRS lineup after a couple of limited runs. It keeps the DGT's woods, 22 frets on a 25" scale, DGT neck shape and jumbo frets, in a semi-hollow body with a single f-hole.
Grissom calls it a companion to his solidbody DGTs, a little warmer on top with a little less low end, and he gets more controllable feedback from it. PRS describes the semi-hollow build as adding resonance and an open, lively response. The electronics match the solidbody, with two DGT pickups, a volume for each and a push/pull tone on a 3-way toggle. The PRS Patented Tremolo, Gen II carries over too.
If the DGT neck and controls already suit you and you want a semi-hollow body under them, this is your guitar. The PRS DGT is the solidbody it grew from. Our pick is Tiger Eye with the Birds, the dressier take on a guitar built for playing.
Inlays are Moons as standard, or Birds. The Top choice is Standard figured maple or PRS's 10 Top, a higher grade of figure that comes only with Birds, and which PRS lists with hybrid hardware.
