They partnered with Jimmy D’Aquisto, the protege of John D'Angelico and arguably the most celebrated archtop luthier in history, and launched the “Master Series” in 1984. The “Elite\" sat in the middle of the three-model lineup, between the Standard and the Ultra. It featued an arched spruce top, a single neck humbucker, and ebony appointments. It is often described as a modernized, \"D’Aquisto-fied\" version of the Gibson ES-175, designed to be a high-performance \"working man's\" jazz box. It features D’Aquisto’s signature aesthetic touches, including the S-shaped soundholes (blended with traditional F-shapes), a sleek ebony cello-style tailpiece, and a stylized headstock based on older D'Angelico designs. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
