D'Aquisto SERIES

One of the greatest guitar luthiers in history, James L. D'Aquisto, started his career in archtop guitar building at the age of 17 at John D'Angelico's studio. He founded his own D'Aquisto brand after the passing of John D'Angelico and is known to have created some of the best sounding, most sought after archtop guitars available until his untimely death at the age of 59 in 1995. The instruments he created in his later years are especially  desired and are highly regarded as the “Holy Grail” of archtop guitars. They are still the inspiration for many archtop guitar builders. His creativity in archtop guitar building is apparent in his design of the “Accutone” ebony bridge and his ebony tailpiece. Those innovative D'Aquisto archtops of the past are now revived to become part of the  new history of archtop guitars, incorporating Old World craftsmanship with 21st century technology.
