Warm greetings from Japan. Thank you very much for visiting our listing.

D'Angelico NYSS-3PS New Yorker Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar made in Japan by Vestax Co., Ltd. around the early 2000s. This rare Vestax-era Japanese D'Angelico model is highly regarded for its premium craftsmanship, warm jazz tone, and elegant New Yorker styling.

Features a semi-hollow archtop body with a solid German spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard, gold hardware, and classic New Yorker appointments. Known for smooth playability and rich resonance suitable for jazz, fusion, blues, and modern clean tones.

The pickups were replaced by the previous owner and are believed to be DiMarzio DP103BK and DP223BK models or similar equivalents. All four control knobs were also replaced. No other noticeable modifications are present.

Condition is very good overall with minor marks, light scuffs, and tarnish from normal use. Frets show minimal wear and playability is excellent.

Includes the original hard case. The case has some peeling on the leather surface and visible marks from storage and use.
