Notes on my Jazz Café. The special parts I ordered from the US arrived just before Christmas, so I plan to get back to this guitar early in the New Year.
D'Angelico NYSS-3b. The Natural and Vintage Natural NYSS-3b are now for sale. Just click on pics opposite.
I shall add more guitars to my Hofner sale during January including one I said I would never sell!

A personal collection of classic, rare & vintage jazz archtops.
As good as it gets!
#030. One of only 13 Guild Stuarts hand-made in 1989 at Rhode Island. This is one of the very best guitars I ever have owned with a tone that is pure Johnny Smith. It was made by some of Guilds finest master craftsmen.
Meanwhile, staying with Rhode Island,
#089. One of a handful of Campellone 16" Standards hand-made in 2006 at Rhode Island. Mark Campellone continues the luthier's tradition of making superb hand crafted archtops.
Whilst, across the other side of the globe,
#101 & #102 - part of a small batch of new D'Angelico NYSS-3b made in Tokyo in July 2011. These fabulous guitars are still made for Vestax at the Terada plant in Tokyo, hand-built by the same people, in the same factory and to the same high quality standards as all previous Vestax guitars.
The common theme - Perfection!!
