D'Aquisto New Yorker 2003 Antique Natural

Immaculate, 17" D'Aquisto New Yorker archtop guitar from 2003. Hand crafted in the Terada factory in Japan (maker of high-end archtops for Sadowsky, Ibanez, Gretsch and others).

This New Yorker is flawless, beautiful to look at, sounds absolutely gorgeous and is a delight to play. Although every archtop that comes out of the Terada factory is top flight, the D'Aquistos have an advantage, as all of Jimmy D'Aquisto's work materials were purchased by Aria from his estate, including plans; tools; and some finished guitars. With these materials at the Terada luthiers' disposal it's no wonder the resulting reissues are so exceptional.

Solid spruce top, highly-figured maple back and sides. Ebony fretboard and tailpiece. Macassar ebony fingerrest and back of headstock. Impeccably fitted mother of pearl inlays. Stunning looks and a gorgeous voice make this an exceptional instrument. Comes with immaculate D'Aquisto case (most elegant case I've ever seen). I'm the original owner and can assure you this is as mint a New Yorker as you'll ever find.
