FYI ( Don't buy fake nitro bodies)
There is a big difference in cost and quality in making a gloss nitro body like this.

First-  With other companies the nitro is very thin and soft and easily to damage.
That is why they are normally always
aged bodies. The Dillion bodies are made with quality American Alder
and have 20 coats of gloss nitro ( in and out ). Hand rubbed with sharp binding and double bound.
So you can imagine how complicated and expensive the process is.

Also, I have to say bluntly, the other satin nitro bodies you see are sometimes called "fake nitro" because there just a superficial nitro. They normally only have one nitro coat on the top of other cheaper lacquer .
I hope this helps you understand what a great product you are buying 


Call for availability and pricing.

Thanks for all the years of support. I hope if you ever bought or played one of my instruments, it brought you some happiness. Never loose the feeling you had as a kid
when you first picked up your guitar. Now it's time for YOU to build your dream guitar. 
It's fun and easy.
There is no better feeling then playing a guitar that you made with your own hands.
