For sale is a lovely 1984 Fender D'Aquisto Standard Archtop in matted black. In late 1983, in a co-operative effort with legendary luthier James D'Aquisto, Fender introduced the single-cutaway, fully hollow D'Aquisto Archtop as part of the Master Series. The Fender D'Aquisto models include the Elite (with one pickup and gold hardware) and the Standard (two pickups and chrome hardware).
The Fender D'Aquisto Standard archtop model was built only as a 1984 model, and features laminated maple construction with a bound rosewood 20-fret fingerboard, rosewood tailpiece, bound rosewood pickguard and rosewood control knobs. The scale is 24.75 inches. The Standard model has two humbucking pickups, and the control layout is usual for this configuration, pickup selector and individual volume and tone controls. Chrome plated, sealed Fender-branded tuners are used.
This example of the 1984 Fender D'Aquisto Standard Archtop, the only year this instrument was produced, is in great playing condition, and overall good condition, with just a couple of small, barely visible scratches on the back. It plays smoothly and sounds great! A dream guitar for the jazz player, or even for the blues and early rock styles thanks to the two Schaller humbucking PU. Weight ca. 3.2 kg. A beautiful blue leather hard-shell case is included. Comes with new Thomastik-Infeld Flat Wound Strings JS 110 (0.10-0.44). Shipping in CH is 32.50 (A-Post).

Thanks for watching!
