D'Angelicos are revered
the world over. The Vestax version comes
close to the original. |

The guitar is perfectly
balanced as a result of John D'Angelico's clever design! |

The NYS-2 is the
small body model at 15.5" wide, 2.75"deep and with
a short scale 24.75".
John D'Angelico had
made a small-bodied archtop similar to this in 1951 for Don Arnone,
a top
studio guitarist. Today, more and
more jazz guitarists are turning to small body archtops
- just another reminder of how innovative John
D'Angelico was in his day. Similarly,
this NYS-2 was ahead of its time when it was announced in
1997.
This is a superb example
of a Vestax New Yorker with a superb jazzy tone as befits an archtop of
such quality.
After 15 years its timbre has mellowed nicely - it really is
sweet.
All the Vestax D'Angelicos
feel the same in your hands. The neck is
superb and this one is a joy to play. This
smaller body version is so beautifully balanced -
it is very comfortable and just right for those of us who
suffer with shoulder problems. Although
its acoustic voice is a little less powerful than the NYL-2,
when amplified it has just as big a sound as the full sized
model with all the tonal characteristics of the larger
bodied versions.
It is all
original, and in outstanding condition, complete with its original
case, case key and truss-rod key.
