I.
Asymmetric 22° Set-Neck Joint
Original engineering in the spirit of tradition: an asymmetric glued-in joint with precisely oriented 22° lateral surfaces.
II.
Inset Carved Maple Top
The natural beauty of wood, uninterrupted. Figured maple set flush into the body, framed by a border of natural wood instead of plastic binding.
III.
Sculpted Headstock
The crown of the instrument. A rounded silhouette with two ornamental openings and the maker's signature.

The maker
A painter's eye, a luthier's hands
Trained as a fine artist in Europe and at New York's National Academy of Fine Arts, Dimo found his calling in guitar making in the 1990s.
For three decades he has refined his craft in his New York workshop, designing his own jigs and templates, and building every instrument himself, by hand.
He winds his own Dimo pickups in-house, voiced to bring out the tone and range of each instrument.
