I just sat down on the old D'angelico and played through the tune no amp, no effects, just me and the guitar. To me you have to make the sound mistake an all, no way to cover up.
Well, first of all, that gold DeArmond pickup runs close to a grand, especially if it comes in it's original box. Maybe I paid too much. deaconmark calls the guitar "the old D'angelico" but it may not be that old...have to ask. I tell though...I have top of the line Kay completely rebuilt and refinished that well, looks a whole lot like this guitar does, ( except for the head)...which I placed my DeArmond on. we can email each other, and I'll send you pics.
I have well, my D'Armond looks just like yours...got one in it's original box, and cost me a fortune.
I'd like to compare my guitar sounds to yours, but I don't know what kind of strings you use...maybe those are stik bebops? They do sound like roundwounds.
Been listening to several of your videos. This guitar sounds terrific to me - both acoustically and plugged in. Love that D'Armond 1100. I have one on my archtop - fabulous pickup. This D'Angelico has the most 'complete' sound of all the guitars you've played. Very round, with no particular frequencies emphasized or overstated. Congrats on that piece.
