D'Aquisto's Last Guitar - Luis Salcedo
**Luis Salcedo performs "Some Other Spring"**
Luis Salcedo is a New York City based jazz guitarist.
**1994 D'Aquisto "Centura"**
James "Jimmy" D'Aquisto apprenticed under master luthier John D'Angelico in New York City starting in 1952, and eventually came to be considered one of the greatest archtop builders of our time. His guitars have been owned by Jim Hall, Grant Green, Joe Pass, and George Benson, among many others.
This guitar, one of his “Centura” models, was the last guitar that D’Aquisto ever built, finished in 1994.
- The instrument is now under the care of The Blue Guitars/Archtop Foundation, an organization that maintains a very special collection of archtop guitars.
