Those guys also came out with Roxbury guitars. With that said, whatever lil money they did have, they merged with another company/group to come out with tokai canada. The america distributor changed his name to 'john dillion' and through blood-guitar, he took over the entire company and even sued the canadian owner of the company and got him very close to bankruptcy. It was originally a canadian company with a distributor in america and in canada. However, even before tokai, dillion used to exist as a harmonized company found in the US and Canada. It was this guy: tokai-canada ran into some legal issues, and then they changed the name, and came out with dillion canada. It was the tokai NLP-40 that looked like a PRS. But it was under the name of tokai at the time.ĭillion USA is an independently owned company selling Korean made recreations and variations of the worlds most famous vintage electric guitars, basses and acoustic. The quality of this guitar is why I've kept it as long as I have.I had a canadian dillion.

Lastly, Im telling you, that if you are looking for a Les Paul and cant afford the Gibson price tag, This LP will foot the bill for a lot less money without sacrificing quality. I obviously understand that $600 is a crazy price for an LP Copy so im pricing this to Sell!!! But an offer like that from a guy who exclusively uses Gibsons shows the quality of this guitar. A Few years ago, I was offered $600 from a Gibson guy, because of the way it played and looked, I declined his offer, probably shouldnt have, but sadly we all have those stories when it comes to guitars we used to have and gotten rid of. lol Look at the pics to see how nice of a condition this 18 to 20 yr.old LP is. The only reason im selling it is because I never play it, Im a Strat guy and my 50's Strat will stay with me until im no longer breathing and the wife sells it. It could use new strings, I couldnt even guess the last time I replaced them, its been years I'm sure.

It sounds Great and has the Classic Les Paul look and feel. The new Dillions are nice but are made cheaper and built in China. Many, if not all, reviews for Dillion Guitars are Great. This is a Quality Made Guitar, Far better than any Epiphone ive owned or played and I would say its on par with an actual Gibson and Ive owned many Gibsons in my day. After the threat of a lawsuit from Gibson, they had to change the body shape and headstock. Dillion made very few of these before receiving a Cease and Desist from Gibson. Its one of the very first LP Customs that Dillion Guitars made, Pre Serial Number. There are No Scratches, Dents, Dings, Scuffs, Chips, Smears, Nothing. (see pics), it is in Like New condition and played very little since I bought it new. old guitar and other than the gold finish on the hardware wearing a bit, which might I add, gives an aged look to it. This guitar was made in the Mid to Late 90's, Its an 18 to 20 yr.
