1936 D’Angelico A-1, sunburst, is a very fine sounding D’Angelico non cut A-1 model. Big sounding voice that fills up the room. This beautiful archtop is all original including the finish but there are repairs, with a few marks on the sides and back. Original 30’s’s D’Angelico trapeze tailpiece.A full bodied archtop measuring 17 1/4′ wide with a full bodied tone. The back center seam has a cleat on the neck block side and the tailpiece side to keep it closed forever. There is also some very light over spray on the original finish which is excellent with very uniform fine line lacquer checking. This guitar also had a very professional neck repair that we had to photograph under additional light to show how well it was repaired. The woods were fitted together and glued with an additional layer of maple about 1/16″ in depth laminated to the back of the repaired headstock. This work was done by a real pro. The neck is as straight as an arrow with the exact tiny amount of relief to set up this guitar as low as you wish. The original bridge has not been shaved or changed and the neck angle is perfect, and the tuners are original.
