- Neck Construction
-
We take neck construction very seriously due to our extensive experience in guitar repairs coupled with our geographic location and corresponding extreme climate. In my years in the guitar repair business I constantly had to deal with humidity related problems made worse by the huge temperature and humidity swings of our local climate. Many of these problems could have been minimized through simple design changes and materials choices.
Touring musicians are constantly amazed at how stable Dingwall instruments are. Many state that their Dingwall necks are as stable as their graphite necked instruments.
We’ve experimented with many different laminations and have found a 5-piece maple construction to be among the best. Years of experience have proven this design to be extremely stable and reliable.

Our ready-to-play models provide the ultimate combination of performance and value due to our hybrid manufacturing approach. We start with high-quality North American sourced hardwoods, then combine the efficiencies of Dingwall’s Far Eastern manufacturing with final production, quality control, and setup done in Canada by our skilled team of artisans.
