DGN Custom Guitars Paragon ’59 Les Paul Burst Inspired Guitar with Brazilian Rosewood Board!
Yes, its truly as cool as it looks.
Dan Neafsey is hand building some of the coolest guitars you will ever get your hands on and has been for years. He doesn’t do many of the Paragon ’59 model anymore and when he does, you can no longer get it with Brazilian Rosewood fretboard.
Guitar is in superb condition with a nice ‘VOS’ type aging on the pickups and hardware. Pickups are Dan’s Tru-PAF’s and they are exceptional.
Comes as pictured with original case.
You can order one direct for $6k but it won’t have the Brazilian board. Grab this one before I decide to keep it.
From DGN:
Paragon ’59
The Paragon ’59 is my tribute to those iconic guitars built in 1959. Being a “Burst” inspired guitar, the Paragon ’59 has all of the features and details that make those guitars great. Only the highest quality hand selected Honduran Mahogany is used for the Body and Neck. The wood must meet certain weight and visual criteria for it to be selected for a Paragon ’59. The Necks are all one piece and Quarter sawn. The top wood is Maple from Eastern Pennsylvania, is intensly Figured, and will meet or excede the grading of the tops seen on this page. The Paragon ’59 oozes vintage vibe. From the slighly aged/distressed hardware, to the heavily rolled binding edge of the fingerboard, this guitar will feel like an old friend right from the start. Don’t forget the nibs! If you have always dreamed of a “Burst” inspired guitar of exceptional quality and the original vintage instruments are simply out of reach, then the Paragon ’59 is where its at.
