Luthier Chris DiPinto handcrafts solid body electric guitars that recall the wackier side of the 1960s while still being solid, playable instruments (which sometimes can't be said for those 1960s inspirations!). From 1995-99, all guitars were built in the U.S. In 1999, DiPinto started manufacturing guitars in Korea. They are shipped to Philadelphia for final set-up and assembly.
DiPinto maintains a stock of colored sparkle and pearl materials for customized pickguards, as well as the more traditional tortoiseshell material. All models are available in a left-handed configuration at no additional charge. For more information, visit DiPinto's website or contact them directly.
Guitars currently produced in Korea. Distributed by DiPinto Guitars in Philadelphia, PA. Instruments previously produced in the U.S. between 1995 and 1999.
