I've played two of them, the Mosrite copy (owned this one) and a Dan Electro copy (That was actually a one off prototype and never went into production, my friend owns this one). My experience with Dillion has been the exact opposite. If it weren't for the wood filler issue and all the delay back and forth it would be ok. I know of all the hoo-ha about the USA vs Canadian Dillions, this guitar seems typical of foreign made guitars but does have Wilkinson hardware and pickups, it sounds pretty good. I'm supposed to ship the guitar back to him, not the dealer.Īll of this doesn't instill me with inspiration to buy another Dillion, too bad because I was wanting one of their Brian May copies. I have been copying Dillion on all the emails but haven't heard a peep out of him. It took several more days to get the guitar, and then ship it to me. Something similar happened when he received payment: First he said he had the guitar, then when I asked if he received payment, he said yes but he didn't actually have the guitar, he had 'Sent it back to Dillion for a string change and setup', which was hogwash because when I received the guitar it obviously had not be touched since it left the factory in Korea. I don't think he is a crook but I do think he is being a little cagey. So I made contact with him last night and he said the guitars were in New York and it would be 10 days before they arrived and could be shipped to me. I contacted the dealer and he said to send it back for another one, more were on order and would be in on 3/5. The volute was obviously built up with it, the grain disappeared about 4 inches below the volute and reappeared about 2 inches above the nut. I got the guitar and at first it seemed ok but when I took it to my guitar guy for a setup he pointed out a portion of the neck had a large amount of wood filler. He is an Ebay dealer but we didn't do the deal on Ebay. I saw they had a Moderne copy and pinged Dillion about it, and he connected me with a dealer in NC. I searched and there are some old threads, but nothing recent. Wondering if anyone has experience with Dillion guitars USA.
