Re: [SurfGuitar101] Dipinto Galaxie and Jazzmaster owners

brine_iac_x - 14 Jan 2004 19:39:07

Bill,
Here's my 2 DiPinto cents. I have a DiPinto Galaxie and I like the sound. I
don't have a Jazzmaster to compare sound. The DiPinto fell out of favor (long
technical story). So missing the DiPinto "bite" I would call it, I swapped the
bridge DiPinto pick-up into a Strat. bridge. They are Strat shaped pick-ups
with squared covers. The Strat doesn't sound exactly like the DiPinto, but its
close. Must be that J style tremelo. The Strat is now guitar #1 for surf. That
middle pick-up on the Strat. keeps getting in the way for tremelo picking on
songs like Miserlu, though.
