Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

DiPinto's Mach XII is fairly good guitar. Not a brilliant one, but Mach XII will serve you until you decide it's time to go for a bit more expensive guitar. You will not go wrong if you go ahead with Mach XII.

DiPinto could throw in a bit more features into Mach XII but this guitar is definitely a usable musical instrument. Whether it's the price cut, or DiPinto felt that simplicity is a good way to go, Mach XII is built with a limited set of features, so one needs see if it fits the need. Not the best equipped instrument, but Mach XII will do well for some musicians.

Mach XII guitar is an instrument that will sound great plugged in any amplifier, and has gained respect from many guitar players, mostly because of its tone. With DiPinto's Mach XII you can play various music styles easily and yet you can build your own recognizable tone without breaking a sweat.

Though it could be better, action of DiPinto's Mach XII is not that bad at all. It may go out of tune when mistreated, but it's easily tuned back in no time. You won't be let down while playing Mach XII's neck. Guitar does feel a bit cheaper, but it will last you a long time, if you handle it with care that each instrument should be getting anyhow.

Some might say that DiPinto didn't go all the way in providing a reliable and durable instrument, but Mach XII isn't that bad. It will serve you well most of times, though you should be wary and have backups in situations where you feel Mach XII might let you down, such as gigs and studio sessions.

One single coil neck pickup, one humbucker bridge pickup with push pull coil tap switch. Single volume and tone controls. The coil tap really makes it ring.

Out of the box I was very impressed with the finishes and the workmanship. The red is microflake sparkle, the white perloid headstock, pickguard, star shaped fret inlays, and tuning pegs are beautiful, the frets are absolutely uniform, level, and flush on the edges of the neck. The action and intonation out of the box was perfect. And then white racing strips? Oh yeah baby. This is a very blingy guitar. You will be noticed. Are you worthy?

So why not 10? I'm not certain I love the pickups. I like them, but I end up doing the coil tap and cranking the tone knob to 10 to get the chime I like. The humbucker with both coils sounds a little more midrangey and that's not what you buy a 12 string for. This is a minor nit though.

This is my first DiPinto guitar - I had never heard of them before. I don't think it will be my last. Everything about this guitar impresses me. For a sub $1000 12 string electric you can't really go wrong. I would gig with this guitar for sure. It feels solid. It holds its tuning very well - which is a huge deal for a 12 string. I would also replace it in a heartbeat if it were stolen.

I'm very confused by the other review. "Not that bad"? This is my ninth guitar and already one of my favorites. It is a bit of a specialty instrument, true. However I could totally play an entire regular gig with just this guitar. It even solos well which says a lot for playability in a 12 string.
