It is definitely an honor and a pleasure to be representing your company.

About John Dillion

Circa 1968

1971 CASH BOX  cover

John Vinci aka ,John Dillion born ,1945 in Brooklyn NY
My mother said I sang before I could talk. 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 
 success with a group called "Illusion". We recorded 3 albums on Paramount records and 
played with some of the great bands like Hendrix, The Who, The Vanilla Fudge, The Allman bros etc. just to name a few.

 In my early 30's I was in a group called "Network" on Epic records. We were managed by the famous Tommy Matola and did a world tour with Hall and Oates. You can check out some additional 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 others. 

  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 have always tried to make the best guitar I could 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 and that's all I can hope for.

What People are saying about us

Dear Tony                                                                                                     Jan 2010

My friend, your guitar kicks my Gibson Les Paul Gold Top to the curb, spits on it, and shoves it
down the street. What an awesome axe your guys produce. You can quote me. With 35 years as a professional guitarist and lead singer, back-up for KC & The Sunshine Band in 1976, and lots of other credits to my name 
(can you say Neil?),
      Your craftsmen in Korea have it licked, stamped, and delivered  it for $2K less. What a piece of work. My new favorite guitar after only one session. I am ordering another DL 6500 F as soon as I get back in the country .

Richard Virginia of the Mighty Delta-Tones blues band

" I can well afford any Gibson LP but why would I buy one ? This Dillion 
delivers everything I need and more at a fraction of the cost!
This guitar is a keeper, just try to pry it away from me.

                        Hear Fred play his Extreme

 
                     Fred Russ     

"The Dillion DL Extreme is a superb piece of work. The playability of the neck and overall craftsmanship is at the level of custom shop. The mahogany body is long known to be a rich tone wood and the flamed maple top and gold hardware complete the package. Sustain and tone for days - I love this guitar!"

"Plays like butter, quite frankly it's the best guitar I've ever played"

Jim Tatum, entertainment columnist/musician, on the DL750

"I have had over 100 Les Pauls and this little 56 gold top copy is unreal!  I bought in Rome, GA while on tour.  This guitar just plain sounds great.  I've spent thousands on Les Pauls of this nature and I'm sorry to report that the Gibson version just cant compete with this copy."

Tracii Guns of LA Guns on the DL600GT

 

"These guitars blew me away the first time I put it in my hand"
