Great video thanks for bringing some attention to this gem! After 2 years the only problems I have encountered are the tuners-to match the color scheme/black tint of the guitar the appropriate locking tuners are expensive. Then the electronics. No, not the pickups and such! The volume and tone knobs are loose and rattle and seem not level or plumb to the top. The input jack gets loose as well. Mine has narrow/tall frets which can make fretting chords high up the neck difficult, but you can really “dig in” on lead as the pros say!

Robert, you recommeded D'Angelico Atlantic, in one of your highest categories. I bought and had to return a B-stock D'Angelico Excell SS, but had to return it because the controls were defective. I wanted a hollow or semi-hollow for its lower weight, and the scale length of the Excel was 25 inches. Now I am getting ready to try again. Did you only evaluate the one Atlantic model, or did you try any of the hollow or semi-hollow models? I think you only evaluated solid body electrics in this video. Do you have thoughts on easy to play hollow or semi-hollow electrics?
@robertsguitarsandgearАй бұрын
Hello Glenn, I'm sorry you had such a problem. I only tried the solid body Atlantic, I had a total of three of them over my time. I never had an issue with them. I think for hollow or semi-hollow the ergonomic question will be the thickness of the body. Weight should be good, and of course the Neck ergonomics go with their shape and dimensions.
@AnnoyingCritic-is7rp2 ай бұрын
Almost all cheap guitars have somewhat thick necks. That includes most Harley Benton, but also EART, Squire Debut, Sonic (strat), Volgoa, Grote, Firefly, Leo James, IYV, Fesly. All these are thicker than fender standard. Donner strat is an exception. I guess you go to Ibanez but find an Ibanez 22 fret is difficult. My s521 is very nice to play but the SA series and SASEX is thicker than it strat.

Honestly, I think you would need a better mic to really show the difference. The mic you're using doesn't seem to have much bass response and probably isn't positioned ideall either. That said I think the Dylan sounded a bit more full and a bit more clear, but both are good pickups.
