D'AGOSTINO of NEW YORK, USA

D'AGOSTINO SIX STRING GUITAR.

and

D'AGOSTINO BASS STRING GUITAR.

Sold as a PAIR.

1981

EXTREMELY RARE.

BEAUTIFUL NECK THROUGH BODY ALL WOOD GUITARS.

Label reads “D’Agostino of New York”

Based on our research we believe these guitars were PROFESSIONALLY BUILT IN JAPAN BY MATSUMOKU.

Background information:

FOR THE PAT D'AGOSTINO CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY IN THE UNITED STATES.

Pat D'AGOSTINO formed his distribution company in the US in 1975.  Previously he was responsible for the GIBSON/Maestro effects pedals.  Initially he had EKO of Italy produce his "BENCHMARK" series of guitars.

Later he shifted the production of his guitars and basses to Japan (after a stint in Korea).  These MIJ guitars and basses are renowned for their high quality construction and attractiveness. 

Both of the guitars in this matched set share these features:

1.   Neck through body with maple used for the neck and the body wings. 

2.   Fretboard is Rosewood.

3.   Most hardware is solid brass. (Tuners on bass are chrome).

4.    These are solid and beautiful guitars that are reminiscent of high quality American built guitars such as Alembic, Veillette Citron etc. 

Both are in very good cosmetic condition.  The only slights to the finish are shown in the photos.  There is one scratch on the front of the six string guitar between the two pickups.  Also, on the six string guitar there are two sports on the lower bout downside below the input jack.  It appears that someone attempted to move the input jack but gave up.

Electronically both are in excellent condition.

Both come in gig bags.
