Dion No. 4 model here with European Birdseye Maple and Italian Spruce. The Honduran Mahogany neck is dyed black and polished to a feather-smooth satin finish that’s remarkable to the touch.
This No. 4 has a crisp attack that’s followed by a flush of warm overtones to sweeten up the voice, and there’s just enough bark in the bass to reward your thumb or flatpick when you dig in.
High gloss U.V.-cured Polyester elsewhere for style points, and Dion’s crisp fit-n-finish and contrasting light and dark aesthetic come together in a striking visual presentation that manages to feel familiar and new at the same time.
A small sound port in the upper bout gives the player a bit extra in their ear, three-on-a-plate Waverly tuners set off the dyed headstock, and the snug fit of the Visesnut flight case (including case cover) puts one at ease: this Dion is in safe hands. We loved the lively and energetic response.
