basses, Bass Player Magazine concluded that the Afterburner was "an exceptional bass. The extra scale length clearly improves low-note focus and pitch definition, and Dingwall's uncompromising workmanship is world class". Another review for Vintage Guitar Magazine also complimented Dingwall's tone and craftsmanship in a review of the Super J bass: "Every component, from the pickups and electronics to the selection of tone woods, and the hardware, are all well-conceived and executed, and the craftsmanship is superb." Other reviews have noted, though, that the fanned-fret design can make Dingwall basses more challenging to play. In an early review, Bass Player Magazine concluded that the fanned-fret design "isn't as difficult to play as you might think...but you will have to spend some time adapting your technique to get the most out of this innovative design". The review also noted the need for special strings to optimize the tone achieved from the basses, as the strings are longer than standard guitar strings. Guitars In 2010, Dingwall reintroduced electric guitars to the instrument lineup. While only a few have been produced so far, early models have been well received. The music community Harmony Central reviewed a Dingwall Custom I, stating "the look of the Dingwall Custom I is pure Rock’n Roll...the bridge pickup nails the crunchy yet warm classic rock tone with a distinct almost cello-like character. Models Basses Prima Artist: The Prima Artist is Dingwall's most premium model. The body is built out of walnut on the bass side and soft figured maple on the treble side, and features a neck laminated from 5 to 7 pieces of exotic wood and dual carbon-fiber truss rods. The custom pickups have matching wood covers and a Glockenklang pre-amp. Z: The Z model has the same body and headstock shape to the Prima Artist's, but it's made of high density swamp ash on both bass and treble side of the body and features a 5-piece laminated maple neck. It has 2 or 3 Super-Fatty Dingwall pickups, and an optional Darkglass Tone Capsule pre-amp. Lee Sklar II Signature: The prominent American bassist Leland Sklar has been a Dingwall endorsing artist for over 10 years and they are his main touring basses and one of his most used recording basses. This bass model's body is built out of Northern ash on the bass side and alder on the treble side, and features a 5-piece laminated maple neck. The
