Help ID this guitar...Dillion guitars?
Hi folks, this is my friends guitar who bought it for me to take a look at. No clue what the brand is. Lemme know if you have ideas.
A few months ago, my friend showed me some shots from afar, and I was willing to bet it was a Taylor 414, especially with that distinct headstock and bridge shape, along with the spruce top and white binding. Now having it in person is an interesting mystery. So far, what I know is: -Atleast 6 years old (but hardly played, so in pristine condition) -Cost about $500CAD -Rosewood fretboard, bridge, and headstock overlay -1 11/16'' nut -15.75'' lower bout...so Im thinking a GA size -Scalloped Braces -Solid Sitka top -Seems to be solid mahogany or sapele back and sides and neck -Standard 25.4'' scale -All satin finish -No strap pin, but has a gold endpin. -tuners look very similar to those found on yamaha guitars, with amber-like buttons Here are a few pictures uploaded, and I suspect links 1, 3 and 4 will be most helpful: Being apparently an all solid guitar and not being taken care of in terms of humidity, there is no cracking or bulging of any sort. I just removed the same 6 year old strings that were still on it, but the guitar was pretty darn good sounding with them on too. One cooment: This acoustic has got to have one of the best playability near the nut. The nut slots were cut at the perfect height and I was shocked to see this. Action was very nice too. The guitar had no prior setup of any sort. Thanks!
