Members veil Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Inquiring minds demand to know, specifically about their knock-offs. Are they like Epiphone or something, or actually comparable to the real thing? Owners, share your experiences and pictures maybe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members M900 Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have an acrylic tele and it's made well. It's heavy as {censored} but the guitar is made well. I've also exchanged emails with John Dillion and he seems to be a knowledgeable guy. It doesn't sound like a tele though, but that's because of the body material, not because of the brand. I've had it for several years and have had no issues. That's my only experience with Dillion, so I can't speak for the entire line or even the wood guitars, though I would expect them to be comparable to the Mexican or Korean-manufactured guitars from Fender and Gibson. You probably need to play one, or at least get it from someone who'd let you return it (just as you should if buying a Gibson/Epiphone or a Fender). c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members M900 Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too..I think even the +1K guitars are hit or miss. I usually buy only after playing the guitar, unless the price is good enough that I can afford to pay for a set up without feeling like I was robbed.I broke my "try first" rule for the Dillion though -- the GAS got the better of me.I'm not worthy...c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LionHeaRT07 Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've got a Dillion 1500QX, and it's a PRS copy, but it sounds great. the leads are a perfect mix of treble and mids and just enough low end with the stock pups, and the cleans are actually les paul like..

Members hbar Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've got a Dillion PRS copy that I really like...but I never play it anymore. I've moved on to strats and teles. I really need to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NoirAbattoir Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 Most of them are built in Korea. They are a step above most Chinese manufactured guitars. The pickups aren't anything special and you may need to replace the nut, but fundamentally they are solid guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members greatwhiteclark Posted February 2, 2007 Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 They can be pretty good. I've played a few. Like most cheap guitars they need some new hardware. New pups are a must. The rest (saddle, pots, etc.) just depend on how picky you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
