PRS SE DGT Exotic Laurel Burl - McCarty Tobacco Burst with Gig Bag

The PRS SE DGT Exotic Laurel Burl – Vintage-Inspired Tone with Showstopping Looks

David Grissom-inspired design with a boutique top

The PRS SE DGT Exotic Laurel Burl isn’t just a signature model—it’s the result of years of collaboration between Paul Reed Smith and Austin’s own David Grissom. Built around Grissom’s highly regarded DGT platform, this SE variant brings the same vintage-informed tone and exceptional feel into a more accessible price range, now dressed in an exotic veneer that takes the aesthetics to a whole new level. With only 1,000 pieces slated for 2025, this limited edition is as collectible as it is playable.

Premium tonewoods and PRS craftsmanship

This guitar balances sonic warmth and clarity with a resonant mahogany body, topped with maple and a stunning laurel burl veneer. The shallow violin carve enhances the top’s natural contour while elevating comfort and response. A 25” scale length and 22 frets offer a familiar feel to PRS players, and the set neck construction promotes rich sustain and smooth upper-register access. Every inch of this build reflects PRS’s deep commitment to tone, form, and function.

Versatile PRS DGT “S” pickups with unique controls

This guitar comes loaded with a set of custom-voiced PRS DGT “S” pickups. These humbuckers cover a broad tonal spectrum, from articulate cleans and warm low-gain crunch to harmonically rich lead tones. Each pickup has its own dedicated volume control, allowing for real-time blend adjustments, and the push/pull tone knob opens up coil-split functionality. Combined with the 3-way toggle switch, the layout offers the player plenty of options, all of which are easily adjustable on the fly.

PRS tremolo and tuning stability

The PRS-patented molded tremolo is a centerpiece of the SE DGT’s feel. It offers smooth pitch modulation while maintaining rock-solid tuning thanks to the paired PRS-designed tuners. Whether you’re digging into expressive bends or simply leaning into chord shimmer, the hardware delivers predictable response and professional-grade reliability.

Limited edition finish and exclusive features

Draped in McCarty Tobacco Burst, the laurel burl veneer on this model is nothing short of hypnotic. Smoke black hardware adds a sleek counterpoint, keeping the look cohesive and understated despite the flashy top. With the bird inlays on the rosewood fretboard and Signature “SE” headstock logo, every visual cue confirms this is no ordinary SE. It’s a player’s instrument, with the look of a boutique build and the legacy of a PRS classic.
