Any of you, who has taken his time to surf through the pages of this website, or has known us for a while, should be quite aware of the dedication and passion that we put into all our things guitar.  So far, it was while refretting old Fenders, working on great acoustics and more generally tinkering gear, that we developed a specific taste for tone, an understanding of what is good tone, what works and what doesn't and an appreciation for the equipment that can make good tone happen.

Following the path leading to glorious guitar sounds, we developed some innovative ideas for a cabinet design that is musical and inspiring, we devised some clever circuits for effect pedals that sound natural and transparent, we settled on simple tone recipes for building guitars that are genuine musical instruments, able to produce 'real' tones that lay their foundation on the sound of wood.

Dino's Guitars has been breathing tone and music, wood dust and solder, since 1995, through the lungs of its founding members Alessio and Andrea.

In 2006 enter Coedis, a local social co-op founded in 1997, whose scope is to provide employment opportunities for those, whose lives are seeing or have gone through trouble.  Those who need to be offered a chance, being that second or first.  Coedis promotes and undertakes projects aimed at creating job opportunities for disabled, ex addicts, convicts on probation. People who value their jobs as a means to solidarity.

Dino's Guitars needed a springboard, could offer expertise, know-how, top-notch products and loved the project and scope of Coedis.  Coedis was looking for ways to develop business opportunities. Why not join forces?

As a result, Dino's Guitars is now part of Coedis. All our products are still 100% Dino's: fine workmanship, top quality, and targeting tonal excellence.  Still,  being Coedis a non lucrative social coop, all profit coming from Dino's Guitars sales is reinvested in the creation of new job opportunities.   It's definitely a win-win situation.

We strongly  believe in our project and we are convinced that the result here is far greater than the sum of its parts.  We hope you will want to share our vision and support us in our quest for a better world through better tone.
