Description

This D’Pergo 2013 Signature Limited is a perfect example of why Michal D’Pergo’s instruments are held in such high regard. Built with an obsessive attention to detail and vintage-correct materials, this guitar blends old-world craftsmanship with modern precision in a way very few builders can achieve.


Finished in Ducco Black using authentic 1950s-style automotive nitrocellulose lacquer, the body is crafted from lightweight, lake-recovered alder, giving the guitar an immediate, resonant response with exceptional balance. The neck is made from signature water-recovered, primary growth quarter-sawn maple, offering incredible stability and a smooth, broken-in feel. The profile is D’Pergo’s .970 Vintage Offset with a subtle V-to-C taper, a shape that feels substantial yet effortless in the hand.


Electronics are equally refined, featuring D’Pergo custom hand-wound Limited Edition single coils with Alnico III magnets and a heavy Formvar wind. These pickups deliver remarkable clarity, depth, and dynamic sensitivity, staying articulate whether played softly or pushed hard. The vintage RF tremolo, milled vintage steel tone block, and brushed nickel hardware all contribute to the guitar’s lively acoustic character and precise feel.


Every detail, from the hand-shaped pickguard to the custom fretwire and satin nitro neck finish, reflects the level of care and intention that defines a true D’Pergo instrument. This guitar is not only a world-class player, but a serious piece of modern luthiery.


Includes the original D’Pergo custom vintage hardshell case made by G&G, along with the original Certificate of Authenticity.
