David Grissom’s Signature Private Stock Semi-Hollow!

PRS’s elite luthiers applied their world-class guitar-crafting expertise to the Private Stock #8631 DGT Semi-Hollow, and it shows in every inch of its masterful construction. It all starts with the tonewoods. For over a decade, Paul Reed Smith has hoarded the very best woods for his Private Stock instruments, stashing them away in The Vault, PRS’s repository of premium tonewoods. Open the case and you’re treated to a mouth-watering symphony of superb tonewoods. Designed to the specifications of ace guitarist David Grissom, this beautiful guitar features a carved East Indian rosewood top on a figured mahogany with a feedback-busting, sustain-enhancing center block. To top it all off, this beautiful Private Stock instrument comes adorned with our Owls in Flight inlays — a treatment you can only get at Sweetwater!

Built to perform

With the instrument’s 25" scale length, you’ll find navigating the East Indian rosewood DGT-profile neck extremely comfortable and fast, as your fingers dance on a smooth-as-glass East Indian rosewood fingerboard adorned with elegant Sweetwater-signature Owls in Flight inlays. To nail the perfect tone for any live gig or studio session, this impeccable guitar is equipped with a duo of amazing Grissom’-spec humbucking pickups, wiring, and control layout: two volumes plus a master tone pot with a push-pull coil split. And for the ultimate in pitch expression, the Private Stock #8631 DGT Semi-Hollow features PRS’s excellent Gen III Tremolo vibrato bridge/tailpiece.

The finest tonewoods on the planet

The PRS Private Stock Vault contains some of the finest tonewoods on the planet. Gorgeous wood sets for tops and backs. Toneful neck blanks. Exotic fingerboards. When you craft a guitar with materials of this caliber, you get an extraordinary instrument. When Sweetwater’s guitar experts visit The Vault, they can smell the wood, feel it, wet it to reveal the grain, and knock on it to hear its distinctive tone. This gives them a keen sense of the unique instruments we will finally present to you. This Private Stock DGT Semi-Hollow is a breathtaking guitar with jaw-dropping visuals, off-the-charts playability, and eat-it-with-a-spoon tone.

Unique DGT features for outstanding playability

This Private Stock DGT is not your typical PRS guitar; it contains many signature features included specifically at David Grissom’s request. The gorgeously figured top will have you staring at the guitar for hours, like fine art in a gallery. You’ll love the feel of the DGT profile neck carve — a slightly smaller version of the PRS wide-fat profile — and custom DGT frets. The PRS DGT is a ready and willing workhorse, no matter what style of music you’re playing. You don’t need to worry about staying in tune, as the Phase II locking tuners (embellished with curly maple buttons) will ensure tuning stability all night long.

DGT electronics deliver a colossal tone arsenal

The PRS #8631 DGT Semi-Hollow features the exclusive David Grissom DGT humbucking pickups, which are modeled after vintage PAF humbuckers. Dial in a veritable cornucopia of premium electric guitar tone thanks to Grissom’s preferred wiring and control scheme: two volume controls and a push/pull coil split on the tone pot. From massive crunch and searing high-gain to spanky single-coil cleans, this setup provides you with an enormous tone arsenal to nail any sound you’re after.

Nitro finish, for the look and feel of a classic

This Private Stock instrument is protected by a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the day — are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar’s tonewoods to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look incredible; they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities. This guitar has the look and feel of a lovingly cared-for classic — one that will only improve with age.
