Has anyone here tried Dillion Guitars? They seem to be another brand that makes close to exact replicas of famous guitars like Gibson Goldtops, PRS's, Rickenbackers....
I have heard good things, but thats about it. Anyone actually try one, seen one, heard one?
Thanks!

They're made in Korea, and meant to be a notch above the Chinese stuff that's most places these days. I think I read they're made in the Tokai factory there, though Tokai have now shifted production to China.

okay i played a dillion guitar for around 5 years.. mainly because i couldn't afford anything else at that point.. great little guitar for what it was.. until of course the neck fell off for no reason (seriously) I guess it lasted 5 years so that's ok for 500$
I fixed it and use it as a back up although when I compare it to my telecaster it sounds like a piece of steaming garbage juice.

I tried a few, probably 4 years ago. I recall that the Rick knockoff felt kinda cheap to me, the LP knock offs were alright. I'd like to try one of the SG knockoffs. I think there's exclusive to Canada.

<br />Look out for El Degas rickenbacker copies. Made in the 70s in Japan. The Bass player in my band uses an El Degas 4001 copy through a 1969 Traynor YBA-1 + matching 410. Sounds excellent but he has decided to replace the bridge pick-up with the seymour duncan rickenbacker bridge pick-up.

The brown guitar in my signature is an El Degas. They're pretty cool players.
