  David Grisson is a giant of knowledge, talent, and a modest genius. What a treat to hear him talk about music and gear. You can feel the commitment and love he has for his art. Every example he played is dripping with feel and musicality. I'm a little late to the game, but I'm now a huge fan.

  DG is a very inspirational guy. I reckon 90% of that tone he gets comes from him too.

  You can't go wrong following ANY of David's tone tips, that's for sure.  I've got two really early DGT's that I love and for me just about all tone roads lead back to the DGT.  The personality of that guitar really comes through all my different amps.  Whether I'm playing my vintage Fender and Vox amps or newer Bad Cat amps, the DGT speaks well with each of them.  The guitar has a way of driving each amp, tube and speaker combination in a really musical way.  The guitar itself has a CRAZY amount of tonal options on tap.  Just rolling the volume knob up or down alone gives you a world of tonal possibilities.  If you have a nice, responsive tube amp and a quality overdrive pedal or two, add the DGT if you don't have one.  David is cool and does not push his sig model on you, but treat yourself and just play one.  It's just my opinion but I think the "feel" of the guitar has a massive influence on your overall tone.  If the guitar plays effortlessly, stays in tune like a champ and feels good in your hands you are naturally going to play better - which is going to make you SOUND better.  So, sell two or three guitars and make your wife happy.  After you buy a DGT, you'll be happy and you'll find that the DGT easily replaces the guitars you sold.  Sorry to write a book..........but.......I'm hoping that my experience might save you some $ in the long run.

  I have only recently discovered DG after purchasing his DGT model PRS. Now I’m a huge fan of his tone and guitar play.
