AQUIRED OF THE ANGELS
Unlike Leo Fender,Orville Gibson or C.F.Martin not much is generally known about these D'Angelico or D'Aquisto even though they are regarded as the greatest archtop builders in history. This book individually traces the lives and guitars of each man and features many rare and beautiful photographs.I found this book to be a fascinating insight into lives and work of two men who could only be described as the true masters of their craft.
Probably the only published resource available on John D'Angelico
Very good resource about 2 very gifted archtop luthiers from the last century.
An excellent read for those wanting to know more about these very private guys.

An extraordinary book
John D'Angelico and John D'Aquisto have been two of the finest luthiers that have existed. Its guitars archtops are icons s.XX. This book reveals the human and professional face of these two great geniuses. With superb photos in color and b/w. One of the best books I have read on guitar. Fantastic.
