Cool New Guitar Alert – DiPinto Belvedere Jr.

November 11, 2009 | Posted by Billy Penn

Here is a cool new guitar made by DiPinto Electric Guitars & Basses. It is called the Belvedere Jr. This is a stripped down, gas-n-go guitar and just screams “Mississippi Queen”. The slab type body and neck are both made of mahogany. Staying true to form the 24-3/4″ scale neck sports white binding and has 22 jumbo frets for easy bending. The rosewood fretboard has understated white dot position markers and is capped off with a nicely shaped headstock with Grover tuners. Some welcome updates include a tune-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece and a noiseless stacked dog-eared P-90 pickup. This guitar has all the makings of a great rock & roll machine and would probably be great for slide playing. Being priced at $496.00 direct makes it very tempting to whip out the credit card and order one up. I can feel my own GAS starting to flare up!
