Revved up retro.

Designed to be flashy and versatile, the Mach IV-T electric guitar offers more than just eye appeal; it doles out a good variety of tones and boasts good workmanship. A flipped over body, sweet finish, pearloid and chrome components, and groovy racing stripes (except on the all-white model) make it look like a cross between a '50s dining set and a classic sports car. The star-shaped inlays match the pearloid overlays nicely. The bridge is adjustable for intonation, and the tremolo tailpiece is great for surfin' solos.

The construction is good, with a tight four-bolt neck joint and lustrous finish. The electronics assembly and components are solid, especially for an instrument in this price range. The tone controls and output jack are grounded via a metal-foil plate attached to the pickguard's underside, and the Mach IV-T guitar is quiet.

Basic in its tone-shaping components - a tone knobs, a volume knob, and pickup selector - the Mach IV is surprisingly versatile. The neck-pickup is placed at an angle only about 3/8" away from the end of the slanted fingerboard, yielding a good variety of sounds. The Mach IV guitar sounds slightly boxy with a prominent midrange and grinding top end. Blending pickups results in a full-bodied tone that works well in many styles.

The Mach IV-T by DiPinto Guitars is the perfect 'attitude guitar' for surf, punk, or just about anything that requires being noticed. Flashy? You bet. Good-sounding? That too. Make sure your chops and wardrobe are up to it, you're going to be in the spotlight.
