I've owned 2 of them in the past and was very pleased with them. If you're considering a Dillion USA bass I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Continue to do your homework like you're doing by creating threads like this one before committing to one. To the OP, be careful if you're considering a Dillion from VSN. I can't comment on the quality of VSN instruments because I've never happened upon any in person. Many of the (clone) designs were ones that Dillion USA chose not to copy.ĭillion USA continues to manufacture their instruments in Korea while VSN Guitars now offers numerous brands at different price points that are made in various countries around the world. Also of importance was the fact that these were not being manufactured in the same factory as Dillion USA instruments. These instruments were branded "Dillion" even though they had nothing to do with the original Dillion USA products. Over a period of time the two companies drifted apart and Dillion Canada decided to stop importing Dillion USA products and have their own guitars made instead. When he decided to expand his distribution he negotiated an agreement with a chap in Toronto to be his dealer for Dillion guitars. John's instruments are made in Korea, with the VMB-500 Stingray 5-string described above being one of them. The original (US based) Dillion Guitars owned and run by John Dillion started producing guitars and basses about 20+ years ago. FYI guys, there are (or were) 2 different Dillion Guitars companies up until a few years ago, Dillion USA and what was Dillion Canada now known as VSN Guitars.
