 UNITED | | Instruments previously made in Elizabeth, NJ during the 1940s. | United guitars was owned by Frank Forcillo, ex-D'Angelico worker and long time friend. D'Angelico put his name on a series of plywood body guitars (Model G-7) that were built at either United or Code (also from New Jersey). The plywood instruments featured solid wood necks fashioned by D'Angelico, but the construction was handled out in the United plant. D'Angelico used to stock these guitars in his showroom/workshop in New York City. D'Angelicos by United were not numbered or recorded. The body design is perhaps more reminiscent of a Gibson ES-175, and used to carry the designation G 7 (source: Paul William Schmidt, Acquired of the Angels).
