Description

Shortly before his death in 1995, Jimmy D'Aquisto - then, as now, considered the greatest guitarmaker of all time - built a lightning blue archtop guitar, the D'Aquisto Centura Deluxe, hailed as a masterpiece for its sensuous lines and mythical blue color. That guitar inspired its owner, collector Scott Chinery, to challenge twenty-two of the world's finest luthiers to create their own interpretation of the Blue Guitar. The result is perhaps the greatest collection of archtop guitars ever made. Blue Guitar celebrates the unique beauty of this unparalleled collection with gorgeous photographs and interviews with the guitarmakers, many of whom have dedicated their lives to finding the place where art, craft, and music converge.
