For as long as we've been selling hand crafted acoustic guitars (which as you no doubt know is not very long at all) we've been asked to produce an acoustic with an electric pickup. We've also been asked for a cutaway body. Dionisio is the answer to both requests and has quickly become our most popular model.
Our cedar top cutaway acoustic guitar features Fishman Sonotone under-saddle pickup and pre-amp. Volume and tone controls are discreetly hidden inside the sound hole. Along with Tofino and Nanaimo, Dionisio is part of the MacKenzie & Marr "Summer Wages" Series.

Every thing as promised
Very well packed, promptly delivered, the sound quality is as promised, surprisingly nice case, and I like having the option to not have a pick guard. I couldn't be happier. Thanks gentlemen.
Excited
I just ordered mine.
I never thought I would buy a guitar off the Internet.
It is your money back guaranty that is making this less stressful.
I hope it is set up well from the factory because I am no luthier.
Dionisio
The Dionisio is an amazing sounding guitar, I could not be happier with the way it plays. My only complaint is the battery pack for the pickup was poorly glued and I have had to glue it back onto its spot myself. A small thing that in no way has taken away from how much I enjoy this guitar.
Dionisio set up
I received my Dionisio a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed with the factory set-up: high action and a clumsy feel on the neck.
After consulting John I embarked on a tweaking exercise that consisted of:
1. cranking the truss rod clockwise (oh oh, too much) and back again several times to find the best action..no buzzing on the frets, yet greater ease of playing at and around the 12th fret.
2. polishing the frets.
3. oil/buff the fretboard several times.
4. swapped-out a lighter gauge of strings.
After several days of trial-and-error, and several more days of playing the bejeezus out of it, I now have a guitar that is perfect for me. You may have to do some personal tweaking of your own to get it where you want it, but it's worth the effort.
I also have the Tofino model but it didn't require any tweaking at all. It's a great guitar with its own character and feel.
As to the Dionisio, it's a sturdy, rich sounding guitar I'll be playing for a long, long time.
Cheers,
Larry
Lower the action even more
Hi Larry,
I'm going to suggest another way to lower the action even more. Our tech guy has started shaving a millimeter or more off the underside of the saddle of each guitar he sets up. He puts a rough piece of sandpaper on a flat surface and rubs the saddle across it until he's taken it down to his liking. Initially we didn't adjust saddles for this order so your guitar may benefit from the above suggestion.

Looking forward to getting mine in April 2011
