Due to a shoulder injury I can no longer play big guitars. My D’A is on consignment here:

Maybe this thread should be moved to the For Sale section?
Regardless, it's a real thing of beauty. 1 and 9/16 sounds like a skinny neck, if you're use to 1.75 or 1 11/16. Is this typical for D'Angelico?

I want it but I just cannot deal with the thinner neck. If I could only play the puppy.

I've had the opportunity to play this guitar and it's pretty damned swell.

I know a bit about the history of this guitar, as it used to belong to my brother. It was originally built for Joe Patire, who was a barber in NYC (when the guitar was in my family, it had ”Joe” written on a piece of material attached the the case). The Aquired if the Angels book talks about John D’Angelico using Joe Patire’s barber shop for events to show his guitars. I guess Joe was also a bit of a guitar player. It’s a nice solid guitar with a unique headstock (pointed on the corners, like an excel, but without a finial). The narrow nut is not a big deal IMO. The neck is very comfortable. I attached a picture of Joe Patire, the original owner.

yeah, I noticed the pointed headstock too back when it was for sale at the shop, pretty unusual.
the Deacon has one of the coolest NYer headstock inlays I've seen, might have seen it only one or two other times.
Maybe he can be persuaded to post a pic, ultra deco!

Now it all makes sense.
