Default Dion Model No.04 Italian spruce/European maple

Hey folks,

I built this guitar for the 2020 show season which seems increasingly unlikely to happen. In fact it was supposed to be in Japan for the Osaka show next weekend.

So... I’ve decided to list it.

Italian Spruce soundboard
European maple back and sides
Honduran mahogany everything else

Message me for details.

Dion

Cool Dion. Is it pretty lively with that mahogany bridge? Looks beautiful.

Dion, this guitar is the absolute epitome of Elegance. Your design chops are peerless, and your craftsmanship is world class. Standing ovation for this one!

Best of good fortune to you during these trying times. Be well, and prosper! And keep doing what you do, so very, very well!

Hello and Thanks! Yeah it's lively, really quick to respond but still has great sustain due to the hollow core back. I was a little hesitant going that light weight with the bridge, know I feel like I'll lighten all my future bridges.

Those are some very kind words, thanks! As a builder you know how it is, you pour yourself into these things, never knowing for sure your vision will be realized. This guitar and it's nearly identical twin feel as close as I've come to bringing the design out of my head and into the world.

Best of luck to you as well, I hope our paths cross in the coming years!

I love the color scheme of this mahogany on spruce and maple. Perfectly integrated details. I've seen fancier but I don't think I've ever seen prettier.

Thanks for the kind words! And sorry for the delayed response, this one slipped past me.
