Description Brand: D'Angelico Soundboard Style: Archtop Body Type: Semi-Hollow Body Material: Solid Wood Right-/ Left-Handed: Right-Handed String Configuration: 6 String
Beautiful hand assembled Vestax D'Angelico. Stamped 2003 in amazing condition. The most beautiful neck. You just can’t put this guitar down - it’s a players instrument through and through. The tone of this guitar is unbelievable. With the bridge pickup on, it gives you that typical Carlton-Schofield 335 sound, but with the added richness of spruce. In the neck position, it sounds just like a big fat D'Angelico archtop - the solid spruce top gives it a remarkable acoustic jazz sound. It is the guitar of choice of renowned guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and this is what Kurt says about this guitar: "I’ve always kept an arsenal of guitars, and have always looked for very specific things from each - the response and character of each note, the clarity of each note within a chord, sustain, frequency range, playability. I’ve often found myself compromising, sacrificing one quality for another. Now that I have the NYSS-3B, I feel that I’ve found the single guitar I’ve been seeking for more than 15 years. It produces a warm, fat tone, with a lot of front end—the kind of tone I need to carry a band and push the music in different directions without the sound getting in the way. With every note I can feel the whole instrument resonate under my fingers. When I’m absorbed in playing, I don’t want to be distracted by the guitar, and with the D’Angelico, I can trust the workmanship, I can trust it to always stay in tune and always give me the sound I need."
