D'Pergo guitars at Lauzon Music
What D'Pergo is known for
A D'Pergo looks like a vintage classic, and the differences are in the materials and the parts. The woods are recovered old-growth timber, dried and treated with D'Pergo's own methods. Nearly every component, from bridge assemblies and pickups to string trees and springs, is designed and made in house. Necks are hand-shaped in D'Pergo's vintage offset profiles and finished in nitrocellulose, and Signature Limited models are built with no truss rod at all.

Questions
D'Pergo questions, answered
Where is D'Pergo based?
D'Pergo Custom Guitars has its headquarters in Windham, New Hampshire, and an authorized showroom in Tokyo.
What is the D'Pergo Signature Collection?
D'Pergo's line built from its rarest recovered materials, with handmade D'Pergo parts throughout, softened edges and hand-shaped fretwork. It is made in very small numbers.
Why doesn't a D'Pergo Signature Limited have a truss rod?
D'Pergo builds Signature Limited necks without one and puts that down to the stability of its primary-growth maple and the way it treats it. Its other necks use an intentionally relaxed truss rod.
