PRSSE DGT Moons Electric Guitar - Gold Top

The PRS SE DGT Moons electric guitar is the result of David Grissom’s detailed input, combining classic PRS design with thoughtful upgrades for hands-on players. Based on the McCarty platform, this solidbody model features a carved maple top with flame veneer and mahogany back, providing a balanced, resonant tone. The 22-fret mahogany neck uses the DGT profile, set for comfort and quick transitions up and down the rosewood fretboard. Moon inlays mark the board, adding visual distinction. For those who spend hours playing, the guitar’s layout and feel support both studio work and live performance, letting players dial in tones and maintain control throughout demanding sessions. Vintage-Voiced DGT "S" Humbuckers Shape Expressive Sound This model uses DGT "S" pickups designed for vintage tone, with each humbucker voiced for warmth and detail. Players can tap either pickup through the push/pull master tone knob, switching to single-coil sounds that brighten leads or rhythm parts. Individual volume controls for each pickup help shape output, letting you balance treble and bass for specific riffs or solos. The 3-way toggle makes switching between pickups immediate, which is useful for players who move between rhythm and lead onstage. PRS Patented Tremolo Delivers Stable Pitch and Flexible Vibrato The patented PRS tremolo bridge gives players control over subtle bends and pitch effects, without sacrificing tuning stability. Nickel hardware, combined with PRS-designed tuners, keeps the strings locked in place through heavy tremolo use. The bridge system maintains consistent action for expressive vibrato or dramatic pitch shifts, supporting more creative playing. This setup helps players keep their instrument in tune during long sets or intense studio takes. Thoughtful Electronics Layout Simplifies Tone Shaping Controls on this guitar offer streamlined access to key tone-shaping functions. Separate volume knobs for each pickup provide direct control, so players can blend output or mute as needed. The push/pull tone knob taps humbuckers for single-coil sound, reducing the need to switch guitars mid-song. The 3-way toggle sits within easy reach, making pickup changes quick when moving between phrases. This setup allows users to adjust sound without distraction, which is useful in fast-paced environments. Solidbody Construction With Maple Top Enhances Durability The guitar uses a solid mahogany body with a shallow violin carved maple top, which resists wear and maintains resonance over time. Multi-ply mahogany neck construction adds strength and stability, keeping the instrument playable after years of use. PRS nuts and nickel hardware withstand heavy use, while the rosewood fretboard remains smooth for frequent playing. The included gig bag protects the instrument during travel and storage, helping maintain the guitar’s condition through regular gigs or studio work.
