John D'Angelico (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. John D'Angelico was a luthier from New York City, noted for his handmade archtop guitars and mandolins. In 1952, he hired Jimmy D'Aquisto as an apprentice, who would eventually buy the business from the D'Angelico family. D'Angelico and D'Aquisto are generally regarded as the two greatest archtop guitar makers of the 20th century. In 2011, works by D'Angelico and D'Aquisto were included in the 'Guitar Heroes' exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
