Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

I wasn’t aware that there was still a D’Angelico company. I thought the whole thing folded when D’Aquisto started building guitars under his own name. And I should have known, because apparently Bob Weir plays one.
One of my first teachers, named Dom Minasi, had a D’Angelico New Yorker that his father had custom made for him when he was about 14. It was stolen after a gig in the late sixties. Almost five years later, he found it again in a used shop on 47th street, and almost lost his life when he told the shop keeper it was his guitar. (The physically threw him out of the store and into the street where he was narrowly missed by a truck.) He called the police, who were kind enough to at least entertain the possibility that the guitar was in fact his, and after some lawyering, he got finally got it back. It was an amazing instrument.
One of my life’s dreams is to have either a D’Angelico, or D’Aquisto, or a Gibson L-5. So needless to say, I am a bit envious.

The Gibson L5 is very expensive. More something for the professionals. I am not a professional, I still have a lot to learn. But I think that the DÀngelico has a super Sound. And the price is much much lower.You can also be great play. As it was delivered I only had the location of the strings and the Intonation set; that was it then also already. I am impressed by your Knowledge.
Thank you for your Information!Wilfried

The D’Angelicos made by the founder are at least as pricey as the L-5. Your model is much more in line with what an ordinary human can consider. I would love to try one.

Interesting side note in this is that Aria is now manufacturing D’Aquisto

I’ve had 2 full hollow jazz boxes – Washburn J6 Montgomery & an Aria FA-71. Very nice guitars, well built but I just never could bond with that body style. I’ve resolved to the semi hollow guitars, so far, I have 4 of them and prefer them over most solid body guitars
