D'Aquisto (1982) Special Electric (Cherry Sunburst)
Jimmy D’Aquisto (1935-1995) was an American guitar maker best known as the premier maker of custom guitars. He served as an apprentice to John D’Angelico in the early 1950s and was considered his successor after the latter’s death in 1964. From his shop in Farmingdale, New York and later during his “golden period” in Greenport Long Island, New York, D’Aquisto became the top guitar maker from the late 1960s until his death in 1995.
