To our American friends and customers,
We’re heartbroken to say we’re temporarily pausing shipments to the United States. A new 200% import tariff on our products would triple your costs overnight, and we won’t ask you to pay that.
This pause is temporary. We’re watching the situation closely and will restore U.S. shipping the moment it becomes fair and sustainable. In the meantime, our inbox is open—if you have any questions, need support for a past order, or want to chat options, please reach us at info@carparelliguitars.com.
Thank you for your patience, kindness, and continued support of a small, independent builder.
With respect,Mike & the Carparelli Guitars Team

Overview
Classic Tele vibe with dial-in string positioning. This genuine Wilkinson M Series “ashtray” bridge features threaded 3-saddle design so each string can sit in its own groove—great for lining strings over pickup poles while keeping that bright, percussive Tele attack. The dual-load design supports both top-load and string-through-body setups.

Testimonial from Ice – Shop Supervisor & Tone Inspector
“Hi, I’m Ice. I may not have opposable thumbs, but I do have an ear for tone and a nose for quality wood.
Every day I patrol the shop, sniffing out bad solder joints and ensuring every guitar smells like success (and maybe a little beef jerky).
Mike built me a custom dog-sized Telecaster once. I couldn’t play it... but I licked it. It passed inspection.
So if you're wondering whether to buy from Carparelli Guitars, here's my advice: Sit. Stay. Buy it. 5 paws out of 5.
Now please excuse me while I nap in a pile of tonewood.”
