Archtop Guitars: The Journey From Cremona To New York

Rudy Pensa releases a new book on John D'Angelico, Jimmy D'Aquisto and John Monteleone 16-Feb-11

This new book presents the three master guitar craftsmen, John D'Angelico, Jimmy D'Aquisto and John Monteleone, who each grew up in New York and were influenced by the master Cremona violin luthiers Antonio Stradivari, Giuseppe Guarneri and Andrea Amati. Author Rudy Pensa passionately traces these extraordinary handcrafted guitars from their lute predecessors to their current incarnations, which can fetch prices up to half a million dollars while commanding a 10-year waiting list. Archtop Guitars presents the stories behind these magnificent instruments against the stunning photography of the finished products taken by Vincent J. Ricardel.
Availability:
Books are available at both stores, Rudy's Music Times Square at 169 W. 48th St. and Rudy's Music Soho at 461 Broome St. Also available at the Metropolitan Museum Store.
