D' Aquisto Jazz Line Acoustic Guitar

D' Aquisto Jazz Line Acoustic Guitar Description:

One of the greatest guitar luthiers in history, James L. D'Aquist o , started his career in arch-top guitar building at the age of 17 at John D'Angelico's studio.

He founded his own D'Aquist o brand after the passing of John D'Angelico and is known to have created some of the best-sounding, most sought after arch-top guitars available until his untimely death at the age of 59 in 1995.

The instruments he created in his late r years are especially desired and are highly regarded as the "Holy Grail" of arch-top guitars. They are still the inspiration for many arch-top guitar builders.

His creativity in arch-top guitar building is apparent in his design of the "Accutone" ebony bridge and his ebony tailpiece. Those innovative D'Aquisto arch-tops of the past are now revived to become part of the new history of arch-top guitars, incorporating Old World craftsmanship with 21st century technology.

JAZZ LINE was designed as an electric model from the beginning of its development.

To create a very warm sound D'Aquisto decided that it would better to use laminated rather than solid timbers.

He chose maple for the top, back and sides and, reflecting the guitar's purely electric design, a humbucker is mounted directly on to the body .

Legendary Jazz guitarist Jim hall loved to use this model and the DQ-JZ features the same finish as Jim's original guitar.
