Dion No. 4, Fiddleback Mahogany & Italian Spruce
Details
Building on his own from his workshop in Edmonton, Canada, luthier Dion James crafts elegant guitars, thoroughly modern in both tone and appearance. This beautiful No. 4 model will appeal to fans of OM and Concert size guitars, with its 14-fret neck join, mid-sized dimensions, and balanced, versatile sound. A gorgeous set of fiddleback mahogany forms the back and sides, while Italian spruce forms the soundboard. It is lightweight and quick to respond, with all the best elements of mahogany's warm, fundamental voice, rendered more nuanced and modern by Dion's craftsmanship. There's a surprising amount of sustain and ring. Additional features to note on this guitar include the side soundport, a matte finished neck, ironwood fingerboard, and EVO gold fret wire.
