1978 D'Aquisto Flattop #107
D’Aquisto Flattop #107 in excellent condition. This rare D’Aquisto flattop is all original with no history of repairs. This guitar was constructed with a European spruce top, European maple back and sides, a European maple neck with an ebony fingerboard, and an ebony bridge. The neck has a width of 1 ¾’” at the nut, a depth of 0.81” at the first fret, and a depth of 0.90” at the tenth fret. The guitar has a 25.25” scale and weighs 5.47” lbs. The lower bout measures 16” wide, the upper bout measures 12” wide, and the body has a depth of 5” at the lower bout, and a depth of 4.5” at the upper bout. This is an extremely rare, exquisitely crafted guitar with a fine sound that is also a work of art, as evidenced by a comparable D’Aquisto flattop being included in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It features an oval bound soundhole, an ornate headstock with a hand inscribed pearl scroll inlay, a sculptural ebony trussrod cover, and a striking asymmetrical ebony bridge. The guitar is numbered, dated, and hand signed by James D'Aquisto inside. Comes with the original hardshell case.
