I bought this guitar about 8 months ago online & think it was probably made around the same time period. Guitar is made in Korea. Has that classic Les Paul body style with string-through-neck technology. Neck is Rosewood with amazing pearl isis inlays.
Beautifull cherry-burst sold chestnut guitar. 4 control knob & 1 3-way shwitch. Aamzing sounding zebra pick-ups. Grover stle tuners that a great.

Sound : 10
This is one of the best sounding guitars I have heard at any price. The pickups are really much better than my 1970 Les Paul with Classic Pickups(which I spent more on than this guitar). I have nothing to gain by telling you the facts. This guitar WILL put a smile on the face of anyone who plays it! The sound is SOOOOOOOOOOO bright & warm. Yet when I need to get dirty, it does so flawlessly. I am not saying it sounds "better" than my 1970, but it is a professional-grade instrument in every way. In my opinion it sounds better than all my stock guitars! How do you think I feel saying that!!!

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
The setup from the factory was decent. Guitar was buzzing so I set it up my self.(I would have done it anyway)Guitar's quality was at or above the standards I have seen. Finish was great but not perfect. When it is a "real" Les Paul I seem to tolerate more imperfections since I keep telling my self it is practically hand-made. I have found more problems with real Les Paul's(real problems)then I have found in this guitar. Only flaw there is visibly at any distance is the "roughed" edge of the neck facing the neck pick-up. It should be sanded finer & smoother before placed on guitar.

Reliability/Durability : 10
This is a solid guitar capable of whatever you do to it. I love this fine musical instrument that I know you will too. This is a guitar that seems more reliable than most of my high-priced axes. Use your head if you want a great instrument. Buy this guitar first instead of regretting past purchases.

Too friendly to mention. I wish every company was this air-tight!

I have been playing for 17 years and play at a professional level. Though I do not do this for a living. I collect guitars. My list is too numerous to list since I have 50+ guitars! Every Les Paul you can imagine(not the CRAZY expensive one's). I have PRS guitars Fender's, Peavey's, Washburn's, just too many man. That is why my opion is important.

Absolutely gorgeous guitar. Hand polished frets, zebra style humbuckers, 2 tone 3 volume. Modern look LP style. STRING THROGH BODY !!! Beautiful inlay work on fretboard and Headstock. John Dillion signature inlaid. Stunning

Sound : 9
I have been playing this through a digitech and a Kustom amp with Celestions. From shimmering clean to Growling distortion with delay, this thing is incredible!! Set up right from the box. Low action , no buzz.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
Again, set up great from the factory, Intonation is a little tough on this one, but any good tech won't have a problem with it. The hand polished frets are like butter.

Reliability/Durability : 10
Every Dillion I have had has been reliable, do not expect this one to be any different. Finish work is great on this one.

i have been playing for a long time and have collected bought, and traded a ton of guitars. These guitars may be the best kept secret on the market. I had brought this guitar and a Dillion PRS copy to a friend of mine who is a proffessional musician { he has an expensive PRS} He about cried when I told him what I had paid for the Dillion. I hang with Pro musicians and every one of them have been floored by these guitars. If it was stolen I would buy another one, as a matter of fact I plan to start collecting them with a goal of having one of every model. As their ad goes, playing is believing, and that's my testimony. Great guitars.
