In the world of archtop guitarmaking, the legendary luthier James L. D'Aquisto (1935-'95) is considered one of the greats. A jazz guitarist, D'Aquisto was an apprentice to perhaps the greatest archtop maker of all time, New York's John D'Angelico, from 1952 until the luthier's death in 1964. Toward the end, D'Aquisto was essentially making all D'Angelico guitars and eventually D'Aquisto struck out on his own.

Today, his creations are desirable (and expensive). However, like many another famous luthier, there were some periods in his career when D'Aquisto worked with a large company to design guitars intended to be factory-produced.
For D'Aquisto, those companies were Hagstrom and Fender.

D'Aquisto's first venture into such an arrangement began circa 1968, when the Hagstrom company of Sweden recruited him to design a line of archtop jazz guitars for them. Ironically, most of us associate Hagstrom with those little double-cutaway guitars covered in vinyl with plastic "swimming pool" pickup assemblies. Great necks, but a little goofy.
However, below the surface you'll find some sophisticated and interesting guitars, many of surprisingly good quality. By the early '60s, the company was making the Corvette and Impala, with some of the first heelless neck joints (and the pastel "vegematic" controls were a definite plus!).
Hagstrom struck again in the early '70s with the ribbon mahogany, single-cutaway Swede that picked up an endorsement by Larry Coryell. But perhaps the piéce de resistance of the Hagstrom run was their electric/acoustic archtop, the Jimmy, designed by D'Aquisto.
These Hagstrom Jimmys are fine-playing guitars, delivering a range of tones from crisp trebles to a throaty, jazzy bass on the neck pickup. The pickups are not as hot as those on contemporary American guitars, but these were not intended for producing tons of volume and distortion. The workmanship is excellent. As you'd expect on a Hagstrom, the neck has a very thin profile. The 16″ body is very comfortable. You can't compare it to an acoustic jazz box, but it was, after all, designed both for production and amplification, and the guitar delivers for either electric jazz or fusion.
Between 1976 and '79, a little more than 1,200 f-hole Jimmys were built.
