About us

circa 1968

John Vinci aka John Dillion born 1945 in Brooklyn NY
My mother said I was singing before I can talk. I guess I always loved music. When I was a young teenager I sang with numerous doowop groups and in my late teens and early 20's I had
some success with a group called "Illusion". We had 3 albums on Paramount records and
played with some great bands like Hendrix, The Who, The vanilla Fudge, The Allman bros. just to name a few. In my early 30's I was in a group called "Network" on Epic records. Headed up by
the infamous Tommy Matola and did a world tour with Hall and Oates. You can check out
some more information on the Illusions official web site. http://distortedrock.tripod.com/
I started selling musical equipment in the early 80's and worked for such guitar companies
as Dean, B.C Rich, Guild and more.
Dillion guitars was founded in 1996. Dealers and consumers instantly started calling me
John Dillion because I answered the phone and emails John "Dillion" Guitars.
and the name stuck. I thought of having it legally changed but I never pursued it.
I have always tried to make the best guitar I can in the mid price range. I learned a long time ago
you can't please everyone so you have to please yourself.Hopefully you own one of my
instruments and you are pleased with it.
