Deluxe USA Gloss Nitro bodies
Other colors available.
Please read !
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.
