In 2012 Dake Traphagen took on the task of replicating a nylon jazz crossover of famed luthier Jimmy D’Aquisto—and the results are fantastic. This beauty, dubbed the D’Aquisto Nylon Jazz, is quick and energetic, easy on the hands, and rigged with an L.R. Baggs Anthem SL microphone/UST dual pickup for easy, authentic amplification. European Maple back and sides pair up with German Spruce on top, 25.6” scale, and a slim 1 11/16” nut for quick lefthand work. This Traphagen has been lovingly played across the past ten years and has the marks to prove it, but it’s in great functional shape and ready for more action.

Some years ago we sold one of the three known nylon string jazz guitars that Jimmy D'Aquisto ever made. Dake Traphagen paid homage to that guitar with his own version. A delight to play, drawing on decades of Dake's own experience building nylon string guitars but adding the very unique elements of this particular design. This is rare and special, a gem. 
A really cool recreation of one of Jimmy D’Aquisto’s forays into nylon string crossover territory—and who better to pull out all the stops than our own Dake Traphagen. | Scale Length | 25.6250 in |
