No stranger to vintage instruments, Grissom’s understanding of guitar making, design, and specifications is vast, and he put every bit of that knowledge to work to bring his signature model to the SE Series, making this model’s development the perfect subject of such videos.“When we first decided to bring the DGT to the SE Series, I knew it would be a complicated project involving a lot of people.
