John first began copying Gibson but customising them to players neeeds. Likewise Jimmy D'Aquisto followed on until he ventured into his own designs and broke new grounds in Archtops.There are many fine Archtop makers around in Europe and the U.S. but the one that gets my undivided attention with the contempory approach at the moment is Christian Mirrabella. Not as popular as many of the others around at the moment but Just Like Jimmy D'Aquisto who was not that popular when he took over D'Angelicos shop in 1965, however, Christian might just blossom into one of the finest Archtop builders we have known. richard@archtopguitarsandbooks.com This a very nice brief history of the Archtop guitar and I am delighted to see that you unlike many others did not leave Johnny D’Angelico out of the final picture in this brief history.
