D'Angelico electric guitars
John D’Angelico was born in Manhattan 1905. He was only 9 years old when he became an apprentice to his grand uncle Signor Ciani, an expert violin and mandolin maker. This apprenticeship would become the basis for construction principles he later incorporated into his world-renowned archtop guitars. D'Angelico's first guitar store was located in New York City. This guitar shop was small, but perfect for a humble operation: D'Angelico instruments were hand-made, and in very limited quantities. During the late 1930s, when production was at its peak, D'Angelico made approximately 35 instruments a year with only two workers. Over more than 80 years, they moved from a tiny shop in Little Italy to a sprawling showroom in midtown Manhattan, but the promise remains the same: to produce exceptional guitars that uphold the legacy of John D’Angelico.
