I like the pickups and the weight of this guitar. I've always liked the P90 sound. I have several Les Paul Jr's, but wanted more like my Les Paul with the P90's

Okay, now for the bad part. It wouldn't stay in tune, and the action was way high. The neck was straight as an arrow and the strings were buzzing, so I adjusted the truss rod to put a little relief in the neck.The string height at the nut was too high so I loosened up the strings and the nut fell out. As long as it was out I sanded down the nut, cleaned up the pocket and reglued it. When it dried, I took my nut files and reset the string height. I lowered the bridge and set the intonation. Now this baby is dialed in!!! Its SWEET!!

Been playing over 20 years. I like this guitar. I like the weight, the neck, the balance, the sound. All guitars need tweaking out of the box, this one required more than most. But I'm still glad I bought it.

This instrument was made in Korea by Dillion. I received it with an excellent setup and no flaws. Workmanship is shockingly good, surpassing similar equipment 4-5 times as expensive. Tuners are top quality as is the abalone body inlay and total body cream binding. The headstock looks like it belongs on a $10,000 guitar. The P90s are vigorous without the usual single coil hum. The neck is rather thinline which is to my liking. It is arrow straight. The frets are beautiful. The nut needed a bit of filing of some sharp edges, easily done with a nailfile. I am thrilled with both this and another Dillion (a Mosrite copy which is better than the original) which I recently purchased. Dillion is the best kept secret on the guitar market.
