I for one thought the Dick Dale Strat you put together sounded great
the other night through the Showman. Something you forgot to mention
was the beautiful gold metal flake paint job you put on it.
As for the Dipinto Galaxie , I have one , the Daddy-o-grande
model.The one with the 4 red pick-up switches.First of all I would
not even compare it to a Jazzmaster or Jag. Its kind of off on its
own.The pick-ups sound good with 1 or 2 on but if you turn any more
than that on it king of gets muddy.Jazzmaster style trem is really
good.The guitar is always in tune.A couple of minor drawbacks:With 4
pickups sometimes I hit them with my pick and the bridge is a
Rickenbacker style.It has a cover over the strings that makes it hard
to mute.Other than that,the guitar is really quite beautiful and put
together really well for the money.I also Have a Dipinto Belvedere
with a bigsby.I like it better.Los Straitjackets played Belvederes in
Las Vegas at the Rockaround back in September.Mine is blue but they
had beautiful gold and black ones . I would recommend either one of
these guitars for surf music........................Maui
