John D’Angelico history

The D’Angelico story goes back to 1932, when founder John D’Angelico opened up his instrument shop in Manhattan’s lower east side after serving years as an apprentice to his violin and mandolin-maker uncle Ciani. He focused on constructing guitars similar to Gibson’s L5. By the time of his death in 1964 at age 59, D’Angelico had produced just fewer than 1,200 guitars, some finding their way into the hands of jazz players like Johnny Smith, Joe Pass, Kenny Burrell and Barney Kessel, etc. More recent musicians who’ve used them are Eric Clapton, Chet Atkins and Pete Townshend. D’Angelico’s works were honored at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2011.

John D’Angelico built guitars by hand in his Manhattan shop from 1932 to 1964. John made his limited guitars became the legend guitars in years after he passed away, the guitars have its majestic tonal spectrum, one of a kind acoustic Jazz tones that most top players adore it.

The new era of D’Angelico guitars

The re-establishment of D'Angelico brand were initially reviewed by the "Guitarist" magazine & the "Vintage Guitar" gear-review edition March 2014 & goes bolder nowaday.

Mr. Steve Pisani and mr. Brenden Cohen are determined to continue the brand’s tradition, since last year they make an interesting duo. The two co-owners with their heavy-weight experiences, recreated the old guitar designs by allowing the originals to be subjected to X-rays and MRIs (metal parts removed, of course) so luthiers could better understand their construction. They set up the arch-top factory for standard models while establishing a small-run custom workshop in California for their top of the line models. The new era of D’Angelico is just starting in this modern time available at reasonable prices range.
