I just bought a Dillion 7 string guitar

No idea what model, does anyone know about this brand?



RG style body, nice red flame top

24 frets

dot inlays

thin-ish bolt on maple neck

liscensed floyd

rosewood fretboard (kinda feels like maple)

no name pickups

made in Korea

bought for $250 USD

Plays better than any LTD, Schecter or Ibanez 7-strings I have encountered (middle quality stuff I guess, nothing too high end)

One out of twenty? What the fuck? Can this be true??

I saw a Dillion "shredder style" guitar at ebay once... it was a blue flamed maple top, RG style body, gold floyd rose hardware... looked nice and sold for around $200. Some obscure brands can kick a lot of ass.

Wow thats cheap.. I can't believe I got it for so little. Yeah man obscure brands, I have a Kramer Vanguard that I wouldn't trade for very many guitars... the Kramer ran me $300 USD.

I will post pics and a review for the Dillion... around the 25th, heh.

Word... Kramers are the shiznit. I remember that pic you posted. If I had more cash I'd buy myself one of the Strikers or get a Vanguard or a Hamer flying V. My next guitar probably won't be any well known brand, I'll probably save up for one of those. After I get myself a big-ass rack amp though.

Edit: You can sand the neck mindlessly as I did and get it significantly thinner, and also adjust the neck or something and you'll probably make it play like a very expensive axe.

Body -

Body closer -

Whole thing (looks weird because I had to lighten it) -
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y3...yer/Dillion.jpg


The action is a little under 1/8 with barely any buzzing on wound strings.
Liscensed floyd goes out of tune like thats it's job or something. Definately going to buy an original. Maple neck is really ass kicking, waay better than any Mahogany neck I have played (7 strings) Neck pickup is amazing, warmer and smoother than the 81 I have in my LTD. Bridge pickup, is standard. I think I am going to keep it.

Only flaw is a tiny chip on the very top of the guitar that you can juuust see in the "Body" picture (camera screwed up on that "Body closer" picture, the wing is fine)

The fretboard was fucking filthy when I got it and the frets a little corroded, the only real wear this guitar has is the frets, which only have a little wear, at that. Conclusion: I love this guitar.





since the camera is out...
