Jazz Special
There is a 1989 DʼAquisto Jazz Special that I have been maintaining for several years, and in the spring of 2015, I set out to replicate that instrument. I was looking for the lush, beautiful tone that that instrument provided, in the same small package. I set out to make my own laminated plates, and the guitars came together beautifully. I am even offering an “acoustic” version of this small laminated guitar. A floating pickup can be added, or it can be played free of electronic amplification, as the tone is balanced, warm, punchy - really quite remarkable.
