jaywolfe Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I've just acquired a New Yorker for my Heritage collection. Heritage made a small number for Archtop Enterprises in the early 90's. They are among the finer USA crafted D'A replicas- dubbed "D'Angelico II". Mine is a sunburst NY no.1027, tap tuned by Aaron Cowles & the label is signed by the Heritage owners. I'm really pleased to finally own this beauty, which I've lusted after for many years. Some of these just didn't look quite enough like D'A's to tempt me, but this one is the best of the one's I've examined & played. I'll see if I can post a photo soon. Anyone else have one of these D'Angelico's from kal? Guess you can tell- I'm quite pleased. Jay Wolfe
golferwave Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Congratulations Jay! I've heard tell of those but never have seen one in person. Enjoy!

cod65 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 its good to see a dealer with as much GAS as an HOC addict. Somehow reassuring.
Dick Seacup Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Damn, that'd be a cool guitar to have, Jay. +1 on the pic request.
yoslate Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Congrats on the New Yorker, Jay! And yes, pics are requisite! Didn't we see necks with D'Angelico looking headstocks in the "morgue" at PSPI? Seem to recall....
jaywolfe Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 "PS, still want your Howard Roberts!" Still have it. Still too dumb to post a pic...............sigh.... JW

yoslate Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Datsa vey, vey, vey nitesah!!! Thanks, Jay (well, Kenny..apparently...)! Why do I hear "Autmn Leaves" when I look at that box...?
Gitfiddler Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Somehow just knowing that GAS hits someone like Jay who literally owns a HUGE shop full of great gitfiddles is way too cool! Congratulations. I hear Grant Green jamming on that gorgeous D'Angel. Incredible burst on that one! By the way, is that a short scale?
Scooter Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 That's a beautiful guitar, Jay. Hmmm. It would be cool if you played it on Wolfe's youtube samples you put out every Wednesday. Hint, hint. And what do you know...it's Wednesday!
Bluzman54 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Jay, Beautiful guitar. Hopefully it will be at the shop when I come by next week. Jim Cruz
bukmdano Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Great looking guitar Mr. Wolfe. But Hey!!! I'd like it better if it was PINK!!! Only joking. chortle.....chortle.
fxdx99 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks for the pic - another interesting fork in the Heritage tale. Seems I'd read something about Heritage being involved in that project (and recall 'slate's comment on the proto-room example), but have not seen one prior to your pic. I'm w/Scooter - a youtube of it would be waaay cool.
High Flying Bird Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Didn't we see necks with D'Angelico looking headstocks in the "morgue" at PSPI? Seem to recall.... Yes we did.
