The brand is best known for its Safari line of instruments, which includes the Galaxie, Mach IV, and Belvedere models. Designs draw visual and tonal cues from 1960s European and Italian guitars — quirky body shapes, multi-pickup configurations, and vibrant finishes — while incorporating modern playability. Alongside new DiPinto builds, the Philadelphia shop stocks vintage and used oddball guitars, reflecting the founder's interest in obscure mid-century instruments.

DiPinto guitars have been played by a range of artists including Los Straitjackets (whose Galaxie 4 model was designed with Eddie Angel and Danny Amis in mind), Dick Dale, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, and Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3.

DiPinto has 19 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars, Electric Basses, and Strings. Their gear is featured by 15 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Pop. Notable users include Kurt Vile, Jack White, and Michael Hampton.
