Known for decades of expertise in producing high-quality guitars and bodies, Dillon USA's craftsmanship shines through in this double-bound, white-finished beauty. The body is crafted from top-quality American Alder, ensuring durability and a rich resonance that enhances the guitar's tonal qualities.  Condition-wise, this body has been assembled to a complete guitar for a customer-spec'd build that ultimately abandoned the project.  The only damages are pictured, and include 2 small paint chips at the string ferrules (backside) and clear coat chips around the neck pocket.  Otherwise, this body is completely mint and unplayed.  Included with the body are the inserted, high quality Stainless Steel string ferrules and inner-mounted input jack with vintage cloth wiring ready for action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElegant and Durable Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar body is finished in a snow white high gloss polyurethane, providing a sleek and modern look. This is complemented by cream binding on both sides, adding a touch of elegance and visual appeal. Unlike the more common gloss nitro finishes that are prone to chipping and often require aging to conceal imperfections, Dillon USA takes a different approach. This body boasts an impressive 20 coats of gloss nitro, applied inside and out, then meticulously hand-rubbed to achieve a sharp and durable finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pocket Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 3\/16 inches, designed to accommodate modern Fender bridges, not vintage styles.
