D’Angelico guitars
Original D’Angelico guitars are collector’s items and have been used by musicians including Pete Townshend, Chuck Wayne and Eric Clapton. John D'Angelico founded D’Angelico Guitars and opened his first shop on Kenmare Street in Manhattan’s Little Italy. Following his death in 1964, D’Angelico’s former apprentice, James D’Aquisto, became his successor. After several years, D’Aquisto left to begin producing guitars under his own name.

The brand’s instruments are manufactured in South Korea, California and Michigan. Before beginning manufacturing, original guitar models were put through an MRI machine and an x-ray to replicate the instruments accurately. It takes approximately 18 months to two years to create one of their master-builder guitars from raw wood. D'Angelico Guitars’ luthiers produce four to five master-builder guitars a month
