John D'Angelico

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John D'Angelico (1905-1964) was a luthier from New York City, noted for his handmade archtop guitars and mandolins.

In 1952, he hired Jimmy D'Aquisto as an apprentice, who would eventually buy the business from the D'Angelico family. D'Angelico and D'Aquisto are generally regarded as the two greatest archtop guitar makers of the 20th century.^[1]
