Style with a purpose! You could be forgiven
for thinking this to be ornate BUT the guitar is perfectly
balanced as a result of John D'Angelico's clever design.! |

The NYL-5FH is one of the
best archtops in the
D'Angelico Vestax range. It is
the thinline 17" archtop but with a fixed Kent Armstrong humbucker.
The nearest thing to a Byrdland with an L5 scale.
It beats the L5 any day!
Some guitars just feel
right the minute you hold them ... and when you play,
they almost play themselves. This is one
of those guitars, comfortable, effortless and
with superb tone ... and so easy to play.
It has all the hallmarks of the classic Vestax guitars and
is signed-off by the legendary master luthier
Hidesato Shiino.
This 2001 instrument shows hardly any signs of use but
clearly has been played-in nicely and its tone has mellowed and
softened. Very nice.
