Demostration of the D'angelico Excel

[vonalxao1]

he's scary.

[lespaulsoundwave]

You TALK TOO MUCH!!!!!!

[knotinnswervice]

Great playing and a good honest review . I really like the looks and sound of these D'Angelico's. I get a kick out of people who stick thier nose up at them because they are 'laminate'. John D'angelico made 'laminate' archtops too folks besides his incredible carved guitars. Personally I'd gladly 'settle' for one of these !!! I think it's great that they take thier styling cues from the real thing.

I have the same guitar! It just does not seem to be set up properly. I love the sound you have achieved. Could you please let me know string gauge, set up specs again. I am getting it set up from a great guitar tech in Conn. I also hear a noise near the pick-up. I was told that it can be resolved. Thanks for the info! I strive to someday play like you! Jim-N.H.

Is this guitar still for sale? Do you have other guitars for sale?

[Hoopermazing]

Why is this guy saying Dee Angelico?

It's DAN-Gelico.

WTF, you own the guitar and you don't know how to pronounce the name.

[johnbernays]

HAW! You Ower-Tah Heear MY MIST-PRONOUNCATIONS!!!

DAY ANGLE- LILLY-GO! Hello, HOOPERMAZING!

You RELAAY LOVE the BIG JAZZ GUITARS, as I DO!

[jsbach15]

Simply....YOU'RE WRONG! Go and read about the D'Angelico Guitar Company.

[Hoopermazing]

Ask an Italian how that would be pronounced, you drooling idiot. In romance languages it is common to the contraction of de (meaning of) and some place name that begins with a vowel. It is NEVER pronounced Dee--whatever. Only a stupid American would same something so absurd.

[Hoopermazing]

...common to see the contraction...

[jsbach15]

My last and only comments: You say TOMAATO, and I say To MAY toe! Let's see....hmmm...

1. You INSULT an extremely talented guitar player because of his accent, ON HIS SITE!

2.  You INSULT Americans, and

3. You INSULT Italians as well?

This man was kind enough to share his extraordinary talents with the viewers on youtube, and you elected to admonish him because of an accent? How's being a self-righteous bully helping you out in life pal?

[bullyflea]

You are really excited, aren't you?

Extraordinary talent? I don't know who you are talking about. Your exaggeration is a bit embarrassing, isn't it?

[cj1982]

who fucking cares?

[Hoopermazing]

Your ball-gargling mother, that's who, bitch.

[cj1982]

hmmm...no, i doubt she does. only a douche would point out something like that. stop being a douche.

[Obelisk2290]

hollenbecks guitars are nice

[polishbroadcast]

Made by Peerless of Korea. They make an exact version of this guitar but with the Peerless name. I believe they make a few Gretsch hollowbodies and the Epiphone Casino.

God bless those long fingers on you sir.

[fomomoto3]

just curious what if any opinion you have of the Eastman 810 models.

[slothedog]

i just got a ar910ce, very nice guitar... but very very bright and very acoustic sounding.. depends what ur after... but hard to get that electric sound out of it.

[fomomoto3]

you night try adding a tone control to roll off the high end. Just a cap and a pot.

[slothedog]

Its got a tone control... it's just the nature of the guitar.. it's a hand carved solid top with floating pickup.. is basically an acoustic guitar... a totally different beast to a 175 for example. Just wanted to point that out as you asked about the Eastmans. :)

[djangoramsey]

speak less

play more!!

[moonmatt]

Less talk more rock, poindexter!

[FrancescoBonfanti77]

i've got the same guitar, mine is a 2006. sound great :) salut

[bottomvibe]

Don't know about a Korean made guitar but your good.

[ravi48819]

I'm not sure what's the difference.

"solid spruce top, pressed into place, not carved"

[ankoslitoflower]

if you know necks... its equivilant to bolt on, set, and neck thru. the tops are laminated, pressed, and carved.

[William102582]

excel is not solid top, if i'm not mistaken

[acountrygent]

They're made by the Terada company in Japan, a good company in itself. Having said that, the ain't the same as the original American made by John D'Angelico in New York. John made carved top guitars. These are plywood. Good guitars but it troubles me that a manufactured guitar is being sold with a handmade legend's name on it...

[deaconmark1]

Having owned and played many of the original Exel's of John's, these are no way the same thing. A real D'a cannot be compared this these but for the money they are great through an amp

[Tototwice]

Hey DEACON, I finally got my D'Angelico on the tube. If you would check it out I would be happy to hear from you...Thanx @TOTOTWICE..............KEEPON STRUMMIN....DALLAS

[thejazzman8]

i agree, fact remains however that most of dangelicos designs were based off gibsons, which for the money are better anyway

[phish2160]

have you sold this guitar?

[deaconmark1]

This guitar has been sold long time ago

[orlandoCF1]

That's a beautiful instrument, actually that was my first choice to purchase a professional archtop but I decided to buy the Martin CF-1 instead.

[jazzscales]

has the guitar sold yet? if not please

e-mail me back, I like to know more about it.

[johngolden]

Don't look at your watch when you're talking to me.

[kpdavid]

Still a putz john

[deaconmark1]

not like the guitar or what?

[johngolden]

I like the guitar. I've got one.
