NYS-1

The NYL-1's little brother. All of the same extraordinary features as the NYL-1 but in a 14.75" body width and 24.75" scale length. This too is a completely hand-carved, marriage of elegant styling and solid functionality. It has an incredible acoustic sound and the highest level of craftsmanship offered on the planet. Some prefer this smaller sized guitar to the conventional 17" and larger 18" body widths, saying "it's more comfortable". It's a matter of personal taste of course and that's exactly why we offer the finest small body archtop in the world.

NYL-2

This full size New Yorker style, single cutaway archtop sets the standard in the classic archtop realm. With it's standard 17" body width and 3" body depth, exquisite woods, extraordinary workmanship, and superior tone it's the choice guitar of legends and contemporaries like Jerry Hahn, Phil Upchurch, Duke Robillard and Russell Malone. This is more guitar for the money than you will find anywhere on the planet. If you are looking for a full size archtop this is the guitar for you. Nothing else can compare!

NYL-2 Custom

A carved top classic with custom appointments, it combines features of the NYL-2 and the NYL-1, sitting smack dab in the middle, both aesthetically and monetarily. This beauty is gaining popularity by the minute as it is practical enough to take to the gig yet beautiful enough to be a collectors piece, just ask Russell Malone who appears on the front cover of his latest release "Heart Strings" with his gorgeous NYL-2 Custom. Like the other D'Angelico archtops, this single-cutaway guitar combines elegant styling with total playability. It has a very warm acoustic sound, with it's carved German spruce top that projects well both acoustically and when amplified. It borrows the hand-carved ebony pickguard from the NYL-1 and the Classic brass New Yorker style stairstep tailpiece from the NYL-2. For those who can't decide between the NYL-1 or the NYL-2 this is the perfect guitar combining all the best features of both.

Teardrop

A faithful rendering of a one-of-a-kind 1957 masterpiece from America's premier luthier. Brace yourself if you're lucky enough to see or play this guitar, it's breath taking. Your jaw will drop in amazement of this unbelievable work of art. It is a collector's piece no doubt, as we can't imagine anyone would want to drag this out to the gig. It does however have an extraordinary acoustic sound (does not come with electronics) and a great feel with excellent playability. These are made in extremely limited quantities (only four to date) so if you are a serious guitar collector get in line and place your order today.

A smaller version of the standard NYL-2 archtop, with a body width of 14.75", depth of 2.75", and a 24.75" scale length. Simply, this is a smaller archtop, which is more comfortable for some. It's made of the same exquisite wood, with the extraordinary workmanship and beautiful tone as its larger counterpart, the NYL-2. It is in a class all its own, as no other company makes a small-size archtop of this quality and beauty.

NYSS-3

This is the most versatile guitar in the D'Angelico line. With mounted double humbucking pickups and semi-hollow construction, it lends itself equally to fat Jazz, screaming' Blues, raunchy Rock, aggressive Fusion and/or sweet R&B. It has a fat tone, sustain for days and is a comfortable, balanced, unparalleled, versatile beauty, with a 14.75" body width, 1.75" body depth and 24.75" scale length. This top of the line semi-hollow body is second to none. This model is available with the classic "New Yorker" Stairstep, Bigsby or Stop tailpiece. You have to experience this guitar to know how a real semi-hollow body should look, sound and feel. Nothing in guitar land equals this stunning hybrid.

NYL-5

Exactly the same guitar as the NYL-2 with it's incredible tone, feel and workmanship but with a thinner body depth of 2.25". This makes it a bit more comfortable for some and possibly more versatile, lending itself to Blues, Jazz, and R&B, with a little higher threshold before feedback and the same fat tone.

NYL-7

7-string version of the full-sized New Yorker body style with German spruce top.

NYS-D9

This is the Rolls Royce of solid bodies. You wont find a solid-body guitar anywhere that is more practical or more incredibly beautiful than this gem. The mahogany body and neck give it a big fat tone, a gorgeous flame maple top adds snap, and the lightning fast ebony fretboard is decorated with split block mother of pearl inlays. It has the same meticulous multi-ply binding, gold plated Grover tuning machines and ultra-detailed abalone inlays, on both the front and back of the headstock as do the top-of-the-line archtops. Like the NYSS-3, it has dual gold plated humbuckers and gold plated tone and volume controls. This puppy sings like a bird, with ridiculous tone and sustain that make it the perfect guitar for anything from loud Jazz to screamin' Rock & Roll. It is a totally balanced, comfortable and practical work of art. This is one of the latest and most unique pieces added to the D'Angelico line.
