This is a 2006, Double cutaway, F-holes acoustic/electric.It features a natural quilted finished top(made of spruce i believe) w/mahogany sides and back, four band active EQ, 21 fret Rosewood fingerboard w/4-2 headstock and chrome diecast tuning gears, the pick up is a ceramic model and mounted in the body.
Sound

The sound of this guitar is SWEET unpluged, I had reservations about a F-hole body, but the sound is full and rich.When you plug it in it is a added bonus the 4 band EQ lets you dial in to your own taste, I run it through a marshall and my style is classic to hard rock, this guitar performs nicely to both styles.I have not found anything i dislike about this guitar but have only owned it for about 1 month.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

The guitar was set up nicely straight from the factory and was playable right out of the box. the action was lower than most acoustic's i have played with no buzzing of the frets,in my opinion the action could be a little lower but i am used to a Jackson electric.The fit and finish is really nice no excess glue,all joints match up nicely and the natural finish is of show quality.
Reliability/Durability

I no longer play live shows but if I still did I do believe this guitar would have no problem holding up,the quality is far better than i expected for the cost,solid strap buttons,super nice finish,looks to be built to last. If I still played live I would use this on a gig with no back up if i had to(for gigs you should always have a back up)It seems dependable but keep in mind I have only owned it for a month.

I have not had to deal with them yet(guitar is still new) as for the warranty I believe it is 2yrs if purchased in the U.S.
Overall Rating
:
10
I have been playing for about 20yrs or so,and have owned many guitars(30+) and if this one was stolen I would be disappointed and most certainly purchase another one. For the money I have yet to find a better guitar,list is $424.99 but I found it new on e-bay for far less($127.00 +$25.00 shipping w/ insurance). I currently own a Sunburst Jackson Dinky Pro.w/reverse headstock,2 active duncans w/preamp,and floyd rose trem. I am running that through a Marshall MG15CDR and a Digitech GNX-3 Processer. This Dillion has been a nice addition to my arsenal and i have yet to find a major flaw or dislike. The body looks like a Gibson SG W/F-Holes and the headstock has a distinct look with its 4/2 tuner set up(very cool). I did some research on it before my purchase and for the price I paid, hands down its a winner.
