Hagstrom Jimmy D'Aquisto Archtop Cherry Burst - Pre-loved

A rare and highly sought-after model, the Hagstrom Jimmy D’Aquisto archtop is seldom seen  up for sale. It's estimated less than 500 were made during its initial production run, and this guitar holds a special place in the lineage of archtop design. Built in collaboration with legendary jazz guitarist and luthier Jimmy D’Aquisto—apprentice to the great John D’Angelico—this was D’Aquisto’s first foray into his own signature archtop design.

This model is celebrated for its thoughtful construction, playability, and tonal character. It features a 16" body that's slightly thinner than a traditional jazz box, offering exceptional comfort without sacrificing resonance. The carved spruce top is paired with birch back, sides, and neck, and it sports a 25" scale length. The guitar is notably resonant unplugged and delivers a warm, articulate tone when amplified.
