DGN Custom Guitars / Paragon / 2010's / Guitar
The Paragon Standard
The Paragon Standard is the flagship model for DGN Custom Guitars. I had a vision of a light weight guitar that had the woody tone of a solid body but in a package that won't break your back, literally. The semi hollow Paragon weighs in at approximately 6.6lbs, is perfectly balanced and a dream to play. With my proprietary interior carve I am able to remove material but not remove sustain and tone.
The Paragon Standard is available in Solid, and Fully Hollow versions as well as the original Semi Hollow version.
The Solid version gives you those classic sustaining woody single cutaway rock tones ideal for everything from Hardrock to Blues.
The Semi Hollow body is very resonant while retaining a strong solid body tone and is ideal for jazz and blues.
The Fully Hollow guitar is slightly thicker at almost 2.25" and is a super resonanat small bodied jazz monster.
The Paragon is available in a variety of bursts, transparent, and solid colors.

DGN Custom Guitars, USA
DGN Custom Guitars started with a passion to build something different, something better. I build high quality custom guitars for both professional musicians and guitar enthusiasts.
Each guitar is made by hand one at a time in my Southern CT shop. I use many old school methods combined with new ideas in guitar construction resulting in an incredibly lively and comfortable instrument to play on. It’s like having the best of both worlds wrapped up into one guitar. Amazing playability and versatility with tons of vintage vibe. I think of my guitars as, "The Modern Vintage".
If you are looking for something different, something you can't buy off the shelf, call or click to discuss the custom handmade instrument you have always dreamed of. If you are within driving distance, feel free to call or email and schedule an appointment to stop by and play test my guitars.
In addition to building custom handcrafted guitars, I am also a full service repair shop for any and all of your stringed instrument repair needs.
