To the people making negative remarks about them saying the guitar is affordable, for a well made American guitar built to a certain standard with certain components by a smaller company, that's affordable. To those that disagree, I sincerely look forward to you starting your own business and showing everyone how it's done as I'd love to pay less.
FISHTOWN PHILADELPHIA TO BE EXACT, THESE GUITARS PLAY AMAZING, I HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE MADE IN KOREA CAUSE WHEN YOU PICK ONE UP IT SURE AS HELL DOES NOT FEEL LIKE IT, THEY FEEL LIKE A HIGH QUALITY AMERICAN MADE GUITAR AND IF THEY FELT THAT GOOD I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW GOOD THE AMERICAN MADE ONES WILL BE, MAYBE I NEED TO WALK OVER TO THE STORE AND ASK FOR A JOB SINCE THEY ARE ONLY ABOUT 7 BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE
I think I'm gonna have to get my hands on one of these. I like both the look and the sound(s). If you factor inflation the price sounds about right for a guitar with these features and attention to detail...
I think I know a good amount about string action and fret buzz, but what he said about the brige compared to others made no sense to me..... could someone explain?
GSUS HC 1 If the strings are too flat on the bridge, they will move arround and buzz. A stronger angle is created by tilting the neck backwards and raising the bridge. I've played jazzmasters with the traditional bridge where stings would just fall out of there saddles if played aggressively. This looks like a cross between Gibson and Fender specs wise.
Does Di Pinto produces their own guitars from zero or they take second hand guitars and from that they star building the instruments? Can we say they are a guitar brand or the right it would be just a Custom Shop?tks
Been there. There's very few guitar stores in center city Philly. DiPintos is s bit outside in fishtown. We need boutique stores. Philly is becoming BORING. nothing left here. Could be a great city too.
I don't agree -- I think you generally want the headstock to be as small as possible -- you want the weight to be on the other end, usually at the bridge itself, or in the case of a floyd or similar tremolo, the block. Having a headstock or even just the neck in general be too heavy will lead to a problem called "neck dive" where you kind of have to fight to hold the guitar up while playing it. Kiesel's newer headless guitars have amazing sustain, and Strandberg's also have some great tones to them as well...So I really don't think it has to do with sustain or sound or anything like that. Just my two cents though, I could be totally wrong.
That's what I thought. You want the headstock to be as small as possible, or even non-existent if you're doing a headless. That's why headless guitars designed properly (like Strandberg or Kiesel's new ones) actually sound better.
I used to hate my Fender American strat because of the big 70's headstock but I came to love it and I like having some weight at the top, as long as you're happy playing music, be it guitar, drums, keys, or using drum machines or pads, as long as it sounds good to you and you're happy, everything is great :)
