Stunning Private Stock Owls in Flight DGT Semi-Hollow

Inspired by the majestic owls near Sweetwater's campus in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the PRS Private Stock #9494 Owls in Flight DGT Semi-Hollow looks as incredible as it sounds. This Sweetwater-exclusive electric guitar boasts an enviable camphor top, which sits upon a Guanacaste body. Its jaw-dropping figured maple neck plays as great it looks, thanks to its comfortable shape and easy-playing camphor/maple fingerboard. The #9494 comes loaded with DGT pickups ready to serve up an ear-tickling array of massive-sounding tones. Additionally, the Private Stock #9494 Owls in Flight DGT Semi-Hollow includes a stunning Sweetwater signature Owls in Flight fingerboard inlay, a unique perched-owl headstock inlay, and a light-diffusing natural satin finish.

A symphony of Private Stock tonewoods

Paul Reed Smith's Private Stock Vault contains some of the finest tonewoods on the planet. 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 finally present to you. The #9494 Owls in Flight DGT Semi-Hollow features a resonant Guanacaste body with an attention-grabbing camphor top. Besides its exotic, head-turning looks, this tonewood combination delivers a warm, sustaining sound with an ear-tickling reflective sheen. This semi-hollowbody electric guitar also includes a comfortable — and attractive — figured maple neck and an easy-playing camphor/figured maple fingerboard. What's more, the #9494's Owls in Flight fingerboard inlay creates a head-turning 2-tone color scheme that’s impossible to take your eyes off. A perched-owl veneer with a large gibbous moon inlay adorns the Private Stock #9494 Owls in Flight's headstock. Camphor tuner buttons, Guanacaste backplates, and a natural satin finish complete this guitar’s exclusive look.

DGT pickups and electronics unlock a universe of tone

The PRS #9494 Owls in Flight DGT Semi-Hollow features exclusive David Grissom pickups, which are modeled after vintage PAF humbuckers. Dial in a plethora of sounds thanks to Grissom's preferred wiring and control scheme: two volume controls and a push-pull coil split on the tone pot. The setup on the PRS DGT gives you massive tonal versatility.

Unique DGT features deliver outstanding playability

The DGT is not your typical PRS guitar. Many changes were made specifically at David Grissom's request. This guitar's camphor top will have you staring at it for hours, like it's a fine piece of artwork hanging in a museum. You'll love the slightly smaller version of the PRS wide-fat neck, jumbo frets, and heavy strings for fat tone. The #9494 Owls in Flight DGT Semi-Hollow is a ready-and-willing workhorse, no matter what style you're playing. You don't need to worry about staying in tune either, as its Phase III locking tuners will ensure rock-solid tuning stability all night long.

But it goes way deeper than the surface. Every time Paul visits Sweetwater, we get a deeper look at his amazing instruments. We've even hosted several PRS Custom Shop events, complete with Paul's personal Wood Library! Whether they're his most affordable SE electric guitars, top-quality acoustics, or amps, it's always amazing to see what PRS comes up with. What's more, we keep a ton of PRS guitars in our amazing Guitar Showroom, so the staff at Sweetwater can get hands on with all of their latest models. We'd love to tell you all about them.
