Fender D'aquisto

[Barbdaman]

Hey everyone, just shopping my new toy around that I ran across. I know there are so many varieties of these but it comes with the original case and strap. She's real clean, love the sound but I just know somebody go do it more justice than myself. Open to offers. Ask any questions! The body is in great condition although the previous owner had a made a couple chips in the paint at the top of the arch.

Asking 2000.00 or OBO because I have to put a price!

Shipping from the Oklahoma area!

? Any questions?

Just a note, you have to post a price if you're selling gear on the forum

Oh I'm sorry! Will do! I'm really taking the best offer ?

I really have no idea what they really go for.

[wintermoon]

You can take the best offer but you have to post an asking price.
Check ebay and reverb sold listing to get an idea of value.

Adding your location would also help you out here if you are planning on shipping the guitar

Out of kindness to a newb I will step in for Barb here.

Barb's picture shows a Fender D'Aquisto Standard -- Gen 1, circa 1984.
Here's an Archtop.com writeup FWIW.

Nice guitars and they haven't been made for a long time!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much. I was having a hard time really pulling all the info together!

That and the holiday and this football got me distracted

I always thought they were awesome looking guitars. Beautiful finishes, nice headstock shape and inlay, lovely f-holes, cool pickguard and the brown wood appointments. Kind of unique at that time.

I have the later version of the Elite model with an aftermarket pickup. These are nice guitars that punch way above their price range IMO.

Do you have the pickgaurd?

[aquin43]

Ask any questions!

Does it have a front to back block under the bridge like the D'Aquisto designed Hagstrom "Jimmy"?

[Barbdaman]

Priced to sell!

I can send more photos if needed!

No, it’s a true hollowbody guitar, no top-to-back struts, trestles or blocks in there .

The MIJ Standard models sometimes did not come with PGs. All spruce top. Here is the article from Strat talk on D'Aquisto. Fender the D'Aquisto Story | Fender Stratocaster Guitar Forum (strat-talk.com)

This one apparently did come with a pickguard. It has the mounting block still screwed into the neck.

Good eye. Not a problem, as one could be made if the price is right.

[sgosnell]

For me, it's totally irrelevant. I can't speak for others, though.
