Jim, I came across your ezine article about handmade guitars. The article,though quite well written, isn't nearly as convincing as actually playing one of your guitars. I,ve personally had the pleasure of both hearing and playing a "Sullivan" guitar and I can honestly say that it was the best finger style instrument I have ever come across! So much for your article. - Tom Edwards, Nashville,Tn

Phil Wayne Guitar Artist

Phil Wayne Art guitars are primarily custom made to order.  Other than those, only about 8 to 10 custom instruments are produced each year and each instrument has been handcrafted here in the USA, personally named and unique to itself.  So when you own a Custom Phil Wayne guitar art, you own a unique masterpiece.  No one else has one like yours and no one ever will. - www.strikingguitars.com " Bravo!!! Just an unbelievable guitar!  You're pictures didn't do it proper justice.  In person this thing looks absolutely incredible.  I've never seen nothing like it and it plays and sounds as good as it looks.  Besides the guys in the band, last friday nite at the gig there were no less than 10 people that came over to admire it and check it out.  BRAVO again and again.  You'll be hearing again from me soon.  Thanx." - Bobby Hands

USAMusician.net remembers The Late - James D'Aquisto

I had meet James D'Aquisto at his shop in 1978 on Long Island he had made me a new bridge for an old
1936 Epiphone Zephyr that I owned at the time. While he was working on it he said to me "hey kid pick up that box and tell what you think." The Guitar was his New Yorker Model that he had just finished working on. I will never forget the feel and sound of that guitar.

Not to long ago I got a call from someone that told me he was in his shop and James showed him some wood and said "God made the wood but I made the sound."

In the world of custom-made guitars, few instruments are as highly regarded, or fetch as high a price, as those made by the late James L. D'Aquisto. A guitar maker who had studied with the renowned John D'Angelico, D'Aquisto created archtop acoustics that were favored by jazz guitarists and collectors.

Following his untimely death at age 59 in 1995, the market for D'Aquisto guitars exploded, the more so because he only less then 400 guitars. Collectors, were soon paying as much as six figures for one.

What made his archtop guitars so sought after were their dynamic range and a broad tonal qualities. At a time when acoustic guitars were losing out to electric and mass-produced ones, D'Aquisto tried to reinvent the guitar so it could compete as a completely modern one. Nevertheless, he kept away from the fancy inlays, believing that such ornamentation detracted from the sound, and instead concentrated on such innovations as step-pattern metal tailpieces, small pickguards and redesigned f-holes. One of his most significant ideas was the adjustable ebony tailpiece, which adjusts up and down in order to vary string tension on the bridge.

Jimmy is at the very core of my guitarmaking. Many People make different types of guitars, but the way he understood wood, sound and tone so well with the work of his hands he was truly a master of his craft.

D Aquisto, who lived on Long Island, N.Y., began making guitars when he was 17. In addition to his handmade guitars, he was a designer for two leading guitar makers, Fender and Hagstrom.
