Epoch

The Epoch is my modern take on a classic design. With its closed body semi-hollow construction, it's able to easily blur the lines between rock, blues, jam and country tones.
About the Epoch
Epoch (ee-pok) - A particular period of history, especially one considered remarkable or noteworthy.
The Epoch, designed with Nashville-based guitarist Daniel Donato, may look traditional on the outside but inside it's distinctively DGN. Featuring Semi-Hollow Construction, this guitar was created to bridge the gap between Country and Jam music, aka Cosmic Country. The body is constructed with the tried-and-true DGN recipe of a Spanish Cedar back and a Maple top. The neck is one-piece highly flamed maple with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard.
Rounding out the Epoch is a lineup of custom hardware built right here at DGN Guitars. The Bridge, Control Plate, Knobs, Switch Tip and Neck Plate are all machined in house out of high-quality 6061 Aluminum.
From Daniel: “It’s an Epochal guitar. I rarely switch them and they define a period in my life. And hopefully the same goes for the players that own one.”
