D'Angelico NYL-2 17" archtop guitar Hidesato Shiino Vestax era

The following description was sourced from other sites. I made some minor revisions to the content. Thank you for your understanding.

"A full-size 17” archtop, one of very few PRODUCED(NOT BUILT!!!) in Japan by Hidesato Shiino. Built in the spirit of the legendary archtops of John D’Angelico, the NYL-2 is built from premium select woods, and is masterfully appointed from head-to-toe. The ebony fingerboard is smooth and comfortable, and features a cascading split block inlay pattern, which balances beautifully against the natural grain of the rest of the instrument. The back & sides are composed of brilliant flame maple, while the top is hand-carved spruce, giving this piece a wonderfully resonant acoustic sound to match its stellar electric tone. To top it off, this piece is in immaculate condition-with virtually no wear to speak of."

• Body: Flame maple back & sides with carved solid German spruce top in natural finish. Dual bound f-holes. 7-ply binding. Bound tortoise pickguard with mounted volume & tone controls. Compensated ebony bridge with floating ebony base & dual pearl inlays. Gold stairstep D’Angelico tailpiece.
• Neck: C-shaped two piece maple neck with black side dots and cascading split block pearl inlays. Bound ebony fingerboard is in marvelous shape and frets show no wear. Bound headstock with black overlay, pearl D’Angelico logo and “New Yorker” skyline logo. Skyscraper truss rod cover. 1 11/16” nut width, 25 1/2" scale length. The back of the headstock sports a rosewood overlay with stinger, and a large diamond inlay. Gold Grover Imperial tuners work perfectly. Neck is straight and truss rod functions as it should.
• Electronics: Original Kent Armstrong mounted neck humbucker with pickguard mounted adjustable volume & tone.
• Case: Original hard shell case and truss rod Wrench included.

The guitar has been thoroughly inspected and perfectly set up by one of the top luthiers in Korea. It is currently strung with Elixir Nanoweb 012-052.

The guitar will be shipped from Seoul to the United States via a specialized private delivery service the first. Once it arrives in the U.S., it will be forwarded using either UPS or USPS. Therefore, the tracking number will be provided usually 3-4 days after shipment. Kindly take this into consideration. I choose this way because it ensures the fastest and safest delivery. It takes no more than one week for the item to arrive from Seoul to anywhere in the United States.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask at any time. I will respond as quickly as possible.
