D'Light Custom Guitars "Dorothy" Alder Hardtail S-Style 2023 in Candy Apple Red

Meet "Dorothy"

Another wonderful D'Light Custom creation, this lady has a wonderful "Ruby Red" finish that is unlike anything that we currently have in the shop! While this is a "new guitar" it gives us a vibe like we are playing a classic strat from the 60's! Artfully relic'd by guitarmaker Dion Light, the tastefully aged nickel hardware and finish in addition to the Signature K-Line pickups, work in harmony for a guitar that looks as good as it sounds!

Perhaps the heart & soul of Dorothy is the genuine Bill Nash V "boat" maple neck paired with a rosewood fretboard ......somehow Dion found this neck in circulation and once he felt the contour it really inspired his vision for this particular instrument. With that being said, after playing a half a dozen or so D'Light creations, we've noticed that he has a true vision for how he pairs the components of his guitars. Over the years we've sold dozens of "partscasters" (some of which were great) and sometimes those guitars feel like they are random components that don't have a "matching" vibe......With Dion's creations, it's truly apparent when we play them that he has that knack of matching and fitting parts to a level where it really feels like the guitar might have been a factory guitar. Some call it "Mojo", we call it Craftsmanship!!!
