Carparelli Guitars is a Canadian boutique guitar maker founded in 2005 by Mike Carparelli and based in Ontario. The shop hand-assembles electric guitars and also sells guitar kits, bodies, necks, wiring harnesses, and boutique hardware aimed at both finished-instrument buyers and DIY builders. Carparelli previously operated under the Dot-On-Shaft name before consolidating the catalog under the Carparelli brand.
The lineup blends classic single-cut and double-cut shapes with original designs. Earlier production runs introduced models such as the Classico S and Classico SH single-cuts, the Pacifico SV, the Arco S and Arco SH "modern retro" series, and the Infiniti S and Rocco S double-cuts, several of which were offered with an on-board ZOOM preamp. The current catalog covers Strat-, Tele-, LP-, and SG-style builds along with custom one-offs.
The brand is also known for the Brio Dial-In System, a Telecaster control plate with a stacked concentric blend knob designed for finer pickup blending and tone shaping. Carparelli sells direct through its own storefront and through Reverb and other marketplaces.
