PRS SE DGT Standard Moons VC

PRS SE DGT Standard Moons VC review

The PRS SE DGT Standard Moons VC is a David Grissom signature-style electric guitar built around a mahogany body, a set mahogany neck, and two DGT "S" humbuckers. Its listed price is 869. The model is specified as available since November 2025, and its item number is 627463. These details place the guitar firmly in the DGT family, while the Vintage Cherry finish and DGT Moons fingerboard inlays give the model its own identifying trim.

This review is based only on the supplied specifications. No customer reviews are available, so there is no basis for claims about how it feels, sounds, or performs in practice. The controls, materials, dimensions, and included accessories can be assessed on paper, but the real-world character of the instrument needs hands-on testing.

Body, neck, and dimensions

The body and set neck are both mahogany, with a rosewood fingerboard and no separate top listed. The 635 mm scale length is also specified as 25 inches. That measurement is a useful point of comparison when considering string tension and playing feel, although the specification alone cannot establish how the guitar will respond with a particular string gauge or setup.

The DGT neck profile is named in the specifications, but no measurements are provided for its depth or width. Players should therefore avoid assuming it matches another neck based on the profile name alone. The fingerboard radius is 254 mm, or 10 inches, and the board has 22 frets. DGT Moons inlays mark the fingerboard. The available details do not state fret size, nut width, or the type of nut material.

Pickups and controls

PRS equips the guitar with two DGT "S" humbuckers, described in the broader pickup-system specification as an HH configuration. This identifies the pickup layout, but not the pickups' output, magnet type, coil options, or frequency response. There is no reliable basis here for predicting a specific clean tone, overdrive response, or noise level.

The control layout consists of two volume controls, one tone control with a push-pull function, and a three-way toggle switch. The push-pull feature adds a switching function, but the supplied information does not say what it changes. Buyers should confirm its exact operation with the retailer or product documentation rather than assume it splits the coils or performs another particular task.

Tremolo and hardware

The bridge is listed as a PRS-patented tremolo, with nickel hardware and PRS SE machine heads. The specifications do not provide details on the tremolo's adjustment range, setup, or locking behavior. They also do not identify the tuning-machine ratio or the specific hardware finish beyond nickel. Those omissions matter to players comparing hardware in detail, but they do not change what the listed configuration confirms.

The tremolo gives the model a vibrato system rather than a fixed bridge. How stable the tuning remains during use depends on setup and playing conditions, neither of which can be established from a parts list. The product information does not include factory string gauge, action, or setup measurements.

What is included

A gig bag is included. A hard case is not. The sales unit is one guitar, and no additional accessories are listed. The Vintage Cherry finish is the specified color. There is no separate top, binding, or finish material identified in the provided data.

• Body and neck: Mahogany body and set mahogany neck
• Fingerboard: Rosewood, 10-inch radius, DGT Moons inlays
• Scale and frets: 25-inch scale and 22 frets
• Electronics: Two DGT "S" humbuckers, two volume controls, push-pull tone control, and three-way toggle switch
• Bridge and hardware: PRS-patented tremolo, PRS SE machine heads, and nickel hardware
• Included accessory: Gig bag, with no hard case

Technical assessment

On paper, the PRS SE DGT Standard Moons VC offers a clearly defined DGT layout with dual humbuckers, individual volume controls, a push-pull tone control, and a three-way selector. Its mahogany construction, rosewood fingerboard, 25-inch scale, and tremolo system provide the main points for comparison with other electric guitars. The product listing does not establish its weight, pickup voicing, neck dimensions, or actual setup quality, so those are important items to inspect in person.

At a listed price of 869, the specifications make this a focused option for players seeking the DGT configuration and its associated control arrangement. The case choice is straightforward: a gig bag is supplied, but a hard case is not. With no customer feedback available, this assessment remains a factual reading of the published features rather than a report of playing impressions.
