It was purchased by D'Aquisto's good friend, the rock and roll musician Steve Miller, who donated it to the museum to be "played and enjoyed. The guitar is a Centura Deluxe model with the serial number 1249 and was signed by D'Aquisto on November 23, 1993. The headstock has a heart-shaped cutout, a motif that occurs on only one other D'Aquisto instrument.
This magnificent example has a stunning natural to honey sunburst finish and, unusual for D'Aquisto in those years, decorative inlaid maple strips on the macassar ebony hardware pieces. Incredible and affordable vintage electric archtop guitar This beauty from Vega was most likely made in the early 1960s (if not late 1950s). D'Aquisto also broke with traditional guitar architecture, which had been based largely on Art Deco motifs popularized in the 1930s, by using new shapes for sound holes, a sleeker overall outline, asymmetrical lines, and an expanded palette of finish colors. The twenty-four instruments represent the full maturity of his skill as a maker and his concept of eschewing metal and plastic hardware in favor of all natural materials.
