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.
