hier mal ein erfahrungsbericht!
I originally bought the Galaxie because I wanted a guitar that just
looked rock n' roll. I settled for a Galaxie in pink sparkle with a
silver sparkle pickguard. Mr. DiPinto was kind enough to call me and
tell me that the original holographic pickguard material was not
holding up well. They had discontinued it. The Galaxie 2 (I believe
that's the model) has two humbucking pickups and boy, do they ever
cool! They sound warm and they have a beautiful tone that can become
dirty if that's your thing. One thing about the DiPinto that just
blew me away was the tone control. The damn thing works, and it works
very well. The pickups don't have adjustable pole pieces, but they
can be tweaked with a little work and height adjusting. I don't know
who makes them, but hats off to whoever it is. The layout is simple:
One volume control, one tone control, one three way switch. The
tuners work very well. The body is poplar. I was skeptical at first,
but I must admit that Mr. DiPinto knows his woods. The back of the
maple neck is painted white and the rosewood fretboard is very
comfortable.
I play original music. Not the oversaturated-mega-hyper-stuff, but
just cool three chord stuff with some nice dissonant overtones. I
purchased this guitar from Earthshakin Music in Atlanta. Great store
and a very professional staff who never call anybody dude. I'm giving
this guitar a nine. My only complaint (and a small one at that) is
the non-adjustable polepieces. The Galaxie's ARE Rock n' Roll! A good
analogy would be the kid down the street. No one's really sure what
he or she is about, but they've got the cocky swagger minus the
posing. At the end of the day, they deliver the goods. That's rock n'
roll, and that's the DiPinto Galaxie 2.
