I don't have this model but the GPCPA2. Though I'm entry level I don't feel guilty about it because the playability on the neck, feel and sound of the guitar makes me want to pick it up and practice more. Not in my budget, was a gift and is very appreciated. The neck nearly plays itself. I only have small issues because of very small hands and very short fingers.
@22decembernox76 My 10 y.o. and 12 y.o. sons have larger hands and longer fingers than me and they're small for their age. The neck depth and fretboard width isn't the problem here.
Holy crap! Look at the work there! Simply beautiful! The neck is fantastic! Only about 3 grand or so? The rosette looks like abalone but the inlays are MoP. I didn't play this one but rather a new Martin without the bells and whistles. Best sounding guitar on the market, without question.
Would you have anyway of getting your hands on a D'angelico Excel-SS to review. I might be buying one based on what I heard from people and some videos but I haven't been able to find an extensive review of one.
I'm not good at telling too much about the sound of guitars, but I thought this one sounded sort of, i dont know... the word Im stuck with is "stiff", despite your, as always, fantastic playing. You mentioned the action being pretty high, and I think that might have to do with it though. I remember playing guitars with noticeably high action, and having the same impression then, soundwise.
Pointless observation, and I'm probably not making any sense. I'm just gonna post this comment anyway...
Taylor looks and Martin tone, nice

I did a little workout shop at the D'angelico Guitar Store in New Jersey. My favorite instruments were the Johnny Smith copies.

Good day Sir
always love to hear your input on guitars
question for you did you have have the chance to try a Rain Song Guitar?
I would love to hear your thoughts on it as it is not a traditional make of Guitar
than k you for your great input and words of wisdom
and have a very merry Christmas and a safe New Years
your fan in Vermont

You should try a Steve Patience custom. I'd like to hear your thoughts on those. I wouldn't trade mine for a herd of Taylors...
