Fender D’Aquisto Standard Archtop – 1985 – Natural – MIJ – Dual Humbuckers – Very Good Condition – Binding Restored – w/ Gator Hardcase – FlatwoundsSuper Duper Gear – Curating High-End, Vintage & Collectible Instruments Houston, TX | Worldwide Shipping | Se habla EspañolThe Fender D’Aquisto Standard Archtop represents one of Fender’s most ambitious collaborations with legendary luthier Jimmy D’Aquisto, a direct successor to the New York archtop tradition of D’Angelico. During the early-to-mid 1980s, Fender Japan produced these instruments with exceptional attention to detail, aiming to bring true jazz-box character into a more accessible and reliable platform.This 1985 Made in Japan example captures that vision perfectly. Unlike the more common single-pickup versions, this guitar features the dual humbucker configuration, offering a wider tonal palette — from warm, rounded neck pickup jazz tones to more articulate and defined bridge sounds, ideal for comping, soloing, or even crossover styles.Finished in Natural, the instrument showcases a classic archtop aesthetic with a focused, woody response. It has been set up with flatwound strings and very low action, delivering that smooth, effortless jazz feel that serious players look for.Specs & Features Model: Fender D’Aquisto Standard Archtop Year: 1985 Finish: Natural Origin: Made in Japan Body: Archtop Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Ebony Frets: 20 Scale Length: 25.5” Pickups: Dual Humbuckers Controls: Volume / Tone / Volume / Tone / Selector Bridge: Adjustable Floating Bridge Tailpiece: Trapeze Tailpiece Tuners: Vintage-Style Strings: Flatwound Set Installed Case: Gator Hardcase IncludedCondition Very Good condition overall Binding has been professionally restored Light cosmetic wear consistent with age No structural damage Neck is straight and plays extremely well Super low action setup Electronics fully functional Frets in great working conditionWhy Choose This D’Aquisto Standard?
