FAQs

Can I order a DiPinto direct from DiPinto Guitars?
Yes, we sell DiPinto Guitars directly to the public for 10% off of list price (plus shipping). We suggest that you try and buy one from a dealer, as you may be able to get a better price. But if you can't find what you're looking for give us a call at 215-427-7805.

How do I go about getting a custom made guitar?

Yes. Here are some common customization charges:

I am a professional musician, can I get a DiPinto sponsorship?

How does the five position switch on the Galaxie 4 work?
Here are the pickup selections for the different positions:

Position 1 = Bridge pickup only
Position 2 = Bridge and middle two
Position 3 = Middle two
Position 4 = ALL FOUR!!
Position 5 = Neck pickup only.

Every other pickup is reverse wound, so some of these positions are therefore hum canceling.

Can I convert my five position switch to four rocker switches?
Custom pickguards with four rocker switches (for the Galaxie 4) are available for $125. Some routing may be required. Or, you can send your Galaxie back to us and we will convert it for $175 (+ shipping).
