The Legacy lives on		Click on the images below
	Notes: To those of you with a passion for fine musical instruments, few names rouse as much reverence as that of John D’Angelico. His creations possessed aesthetic and tonal qualities that were so sought after, they would leave a profound imprint on the history of stringed instruments. D’Angelico’s work still represents a high mark that contemporary luthiers seek to achieve and being entrusted to oversee production for the current stewards of the D’Angelico name is not something I accepted lightly. Part of the endeavor involved reworking and redefining the existing product line. It also required updating methods of production. Additionally, we are perpetuating the D’Angelico spirit of innovation by developing new models. Are we proceeding in a way that would have pleased the old master? I hope so. I know I’m privileged having worked for a company who is intent on honoring the legacy and committed to giving one hundred and ten percent towards attaining the highest levels of quality. ------------------------------ Bill Comins, Luthier ----------------------------- Materials: Flamed Maple top, back and sides, 14,75“ wide at lower bout, 11" wide at upper bout, 1.75" deep measured at rims, two-piece Maple with center stripe neck, straight-end Ebony fretboard with 12" radius and split block inlays, nut width 1 11/16“, scale lenghth 25.0", 22 frets, pure mother-of-pearl inlays, 6-ply ivoroid body binding on top and back, single bound f-holes, multiple bound headstock and fingerboard, polished bone nut, wooden volume & tone control knobs deco style.
