Paul Ricci - Scott Chinery's Blue Collection with Bill Collings' Blue "Collings Custom"

Paul Ricci is one of the most seasoned, tasteful, and melodic players that we know. It was such a treat to have him actualize the full potential of the truly outstanding handcrafted archtop guitars that are apart of Scott Chinery's Blue Archtop Collection.

Rudy’s Music is proud to announce that, for the first time ever, the world renowned “Blue Guitar Collection” is presented for sale through Rudy’s Music Soho. Each of the magnificent guitars in the collection was commissioned by esteemed guitar collector, the late Scott Chinery, to the most prestigious archtop guitar luthiers of the time. The collection was inspired by Jimmy D’Aquisto’s blue Centura Deluxe, that was commissioned by Chinery, and would ultimately wind up as the first guitar built in his “Blue Guitar Collection. After D’Aquisto’s death in 1995, Chinery asked twenty-two of the world’s premier archtop luthiers to each build a guitar in tribute to D’Aquisto. The builders were encouraged to follow their own muse, however, there were two rules; the guitar had to be an 18 inch archtop and it had to be the exact same shade of blue D’Aquisto used for his Blue Centura Deluxe.
