One of the greatest guitar luthiers in history, James L. D'Aquisto, started his career in arch-top guitar building at the age of 17 at John D'Angelico's studio. He founded his own D'Aquisto brand after the passing of John D'Angelico and is known to have created some of the best-sounding, most sought after arch-top guitars available until his untimely death at the age of 59 in 1995.
The instruments he created in his later years are especially desired and are highly regarded as the “Holy Grail” of arch-top guitars. They are still the inspiration for many arch-top guitar builders.
I purchased this guitar from Ed Roman in Las Vegas - its serial number 003 and its NOT FOR SALE! Check out Ed Romans website - lots of guitars and I love his rants. Go to : http://www.edroman.com/index.htm
