[@DavidLHolzer]

Love the aesthetics of this guitar so much. Everything is over the top and works.

[@sunnyshine4016]

I just got a Premier Atlantic; buttery neck, pickups sparkle like dirty diamonds, but what I'm really impressed with is the way the notes sustain and chime with natural harmonics. The setup and intonation are spot on. I feel like I need to dress up to play it. Very chic.

[@niclastname]

I honestly love the look of most D'Angelico guitars, and never understood why a lot of people don't :D

[@paradiswest4395]

The 🔥 top model is my favorite, but I would like it without a pick guard.

[@emrage78]

Deluxe Brighton are the best looking guitars on the market. Way prettier than the boring standard models

[@thecalvin2481]

I don't know if it's because you seemed like you were having so much fun, but this is one of my favourite guitar demos. This thing sounds fantastic!

[@stratolestele7611]

Update - I'm about 7-8 months into owning mine. I've got about 25 guitars, including Gibsons, MIA Fenders, Core PRS, and my Brighton is right alongside my favorites. It's a phenomenal guitar plain and simple. The Seth lovers? Well, there's been enough said about them. They're among the all-time best productiom pickups ever made. Agreed on the slippery nature of the knobs, but it's not generally common that one splits coils mid-song. OTOH, something I like, and I think is common, is to split the neck pickup before the tune, and leave the bridge pickup in HB mode for solos. It's not unlike the way people use any HSS guitar. Lastly, it's just plain fun to play!

[@neevannoronha2707]

Was just wondering, does the neck dive ?

[@Papiboii]

I played one in a music store and that one’s headstock really liked the floor. I love the design of this guitar, but the neckdive was a dealbreaker for me.

[@dariohenriquez7773]

what do people mean by "neck dive" i understand english but this i don't get

[@Papiboii]

@@dariohenriquez7773 It means the body of the guitar is to light or the neck and headstock are to heavy. The neck of the guitar will dive towards the floor while playing with a strap due to bad weigtbalance.

[@mikelewis9340]

Reminds me of my 78 Ibanez artist. First time seeing this guitar. I want one.

[@minakoro]

God, this guitar is everything I want ... great neck access, made for smaller hands, awesome looks and such a funky tone!!! Now I want it ^^

[@Livi_Noelle]

Those Seth Lovers are some of the nicest pickups on the market. They're 7.4k neck and 8.25k bridge.

[@Dam-oH]

I put them in my Eastman. It was a welcome upgrade

[@58icarus]

Any guitar that can still sound like itself through that many effects is a great guitar. I want one.

[@sassycat]

A guitar that inspires you to pick it up and play it, or moves you into uncharted territories you've not played before, is a keeper.

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

I've owned one of these that I bought used for a couple of years now. It's the natural swamp ash version with SD '59s, a pau ferro fretboard and gold hardware. The construction quality of these Korean-made instruments is phenomenal, and I love the Art Deco vibe of them. They also come with a high quality HSC. I think the one shown here is the best looking of the new color/feature updates. The Seth Lover pickups are rated 7.4K neck and 8.3K bridge according to Seymour Duncan. For the sake of clarity, I use the coil splits almost exclusively. The only issue I've had is the width of the neck because of my smallish (but not tiny) hands. Finally, these aren't cheap, but in this case you are getting what you pay for and then some.

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: I love the over the top bling that d"Angelico brings to the market. I bought an SS model. The fit and finish is flawless and it plays "like butter". The pickups have a great voice for a clean player. A solid body d'Angelico is on my near future list, leaning toward the Atlantic. You are right about the knobs, a groove milled around the knob would be a nice touch for the push/pull functions. (gibson company could make that mod to their push/pull controls also) .

[@dizzcustis8698]

Definitely love the looks of it. Now I'm trying to find one that's reasonably priced.

[@howardmaryon]

No expense spared, I think the details of finish and the beautiful headstock are lovely. I hope they do a left handed version.

[@jordantaylor1988]

I'm convinced. That is my next guitar purchase! I love it

[@reidponce]

Same. I am going the Bedford or Atlantic

[@jeffleecust]

That’s the perfect DiAngelico guitar for me. If I ever got one from them this would be it, it’s so cool. Nice review.

[@ambarmarie7891]

To me D’angelico has the nicest looking guitars. Not familiar with the sound wise but from videos on their insta. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@abcrx32j]

D'Angelico hit the right spots for me, i love the vintage look with modern feel design. I normally prefer Seymour duncan's. I would assume the body being that thin and the headstock that big it might dive a bit, but i can live with that, specially because it doesn't cost as much as other similar models.

[@60CycleHumcast]

I wore it on a strap this past weekend, it had a little dive but nothing out of the ordinary.

[@unboxedtravels]

As David Letterman used to say "she's easy on the eyes". That's one pretty looking guitar, love it !

[@butchlauer]

I like your rhythm n melody intro, and outro. That is one mighty fine top notch instrument, that could fit in at most any tucked in shirt affair or practice.

[@mrjdsummers]

Gorgeous. I agree with you on the pick guard not working on some of their models. This one looks great.

[@bipbipletucha]

That neck pickup is magic!

[@sanozfamily]

I think they are amazing guitars. There's something about that headstock that I can't get over though (call me shallow, don't care) but the insect mandible is a good analogy. I always get a lobster-claw -pinching-a -pearl, kinda vibe from it. That said, that color and the sounds are pretty glorious.

[@flogginga_dead_horse4022]

I love the headstocks

[@fraterfraxinus6293]

I love D'Angelico guitars, but I would have overlooked this solid-body. Wow! It looks great and it sounds great!

[@octopaul]

Been watching since you got the Epiphone SL and just wanted to say it's great to see just how well the video's, commentary and playing have been going and improving over that time!

[@connormckee4431]

The Bedford offset is my favorite aesthetically but this is becoming a close second

[@unboxedtravels]

Ryan, you don't need anything more than jeans and a grey t-shirt to play this girl, that way, she takes all the spotlight, which she deserves! As for you wanting to know how we liked that review...it was a bit different than what you've done in the past, but in a good way. I see you also have a new "baked in' disclamer now...I hope that puts THAT issue to rest lol ! I also really liked you playing more "songs" than just riffs, allows us to better appreciate your talent as a musician and the piece of gear you're reviewing. Great video, thanks ! Sorry for not having been nasty or rude in my comments, maybe next time...

[@chrisgeo1642]

I love D’angelico acoustics I haven’t really played any of their solid bodies. I am however geeking out over that guitar. This creates an issue for me as I had narrowed down my next purchase to either a Gibson SG standard or. Fender jazzmaster but now I ha e to place this one in the running as well. I also have to say that I get a kick out of your presentation style I have a bad habit of sitting down for a serious practice session and instead just layering effect upon effect to get the oddest coolest tone possible. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one. But back to the guitar I really dig it.

[@picksalot1]

I like the Art Deco style. Push/Push pots should be the industry standard. I think that's the first time I've heard someone complain that a guitar is"too fast." Thanks

[@AJvsEverything]

I was super excited to see how budget friendly this was going to be, having never heard of D'Angelico before...it's worth every penny of $1500, but that's like $1200 outside of my budget...

[@tobydavis6770]

Think it looks and sounds ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

[@jroobz]

an option without that pickguard would be killer

[@r.j.hughes5523]

I own this guitar and it my main I feel it the guitar is a blank canvas in the way that it works for everything I play indie, jazz, rock, r&b, and it just works

[@Evoken13]

Neck pickup sounds great

[@tonytribble2977]

In my opinion, these pickups are Seymour Duncan’s, but not Seth Lovers. They can call them what they want to, but this is not Seth’s original design. I have the Premier version of this guitar. I gutted the electronics & replaced with CTS & Switch craft. I added bone nut & real Seth Lover pickups. No coil split, but these pickups are very versatile & you control the tone with the volume & tone pots. Seth Lovers are the best pickups I’ve ever owned & have had them in several guitars. Hey, it’s the original Humbucker! I bought the Premier on sale at MF, replaced parts stated above. I have $825 in the guitar, which is about Half the cost.

[@DyscoJen]

I freakin' love this guitar!

[@fingersmike]

I could totally see you gigging with this and a Hawaiian t-shirt!

[@johnmesser9469]

Classy...I kinda want one now...would be perfect with clear speed knobs

[@bobpickwoad8968]

Great demo! I bought a wine red semi hollow body SC Premier awhile back and it's great! PS, eyeing your Hallmark Blade hanging in the background. If you're into "different" guitars you need to your hands on a Hallmark "Stradette". I have one and love it!

[@stratolestele7611]

Sweetwater is blowing out the bursts (I think just lemon left) for $500 off. I just ordered one for $1199! Insane! Note - I just got a Les Paul Special, which has the chunky neck. Amazingly, I have zero issues with it and I have smallish hands. I've also got Gibson 60s slim, and EBMMs whose necks are the smallest I own (also my overall favorite), so I say this that it's possible to like both chunky and smaller necks.

[@jdb2722]

Great looking guitar

[@DaveGrimes-f8f]

I love my D'Angelico deluxe Brighton. Wow what a mean little beast. I am now looking at 3 other of their guitars. Plus an acoustic. May be saying good bye to Fender.

[@jackgraffiti9815]

Made for Soul 😎

[@Thebarbariantruckershow]

Just bought one. Guitar center is having a 340$ off the surf green turquoise Brighton premier. Could not resist the buy at 460$.

[@jasonb5898]

I just want to add that after all the setup work I did to the Bedford and as much as I LOVE how it sounds and plays the tuning is very unstable. It needs to be tuned more than any guitar I have ever owned. Still love playing on it though.

[@Bimmer2047]

all white zoot suite with a big purple feather in the hat.

[@thatguy66199]

Love those D'Angelico headstocks

[@BrentAdams]

The Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pickups are supposed to be 7.2k neck & 8.1k bridge. (maybe they are sitting a little "high") Love the looks of this guitar. (Not enough for me to buy one, but it does look great). How is it with a strap? Any neck dive?

[@60CycleHumcast]

interesting, I wonder why they feel so hot to me

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

I'm surprised you didn't seek out one from the Bedford series in D'Angelico's series. They're kinda like a Jazzmaster.

[@teknomanning]

You are correct sir. The Bob Weir

[@teknomanning]

I have the Bob Weir Premiere Bedford. It sleeps in my bed so I can strum it anytime. Am I weird?🌚

[@teknomanning]

Gave a friend a guitar with Seth lovers,been hating myself ever since

[@-processdrone-]

the way this arrived set up as you describe at 7:37 sounds so idyllic that I can't believe a guitar came set like that.... and I really REALLY can't believe you described it as though it were some sort of problem when it sounds more like a paradigm.

[@chrisl2285]

I don't care for the headstock, including the tuner heads shape and the truss rod cover. I also don't care for the "curlique" pickguard. Nonetheless, I love the guitar and was disappointed that it's more than I can justify spending right now. BUT, I accidently discovered the "Premier" series, which is a version of this guitar that is in a price range I can justify. My only regret is that the Premier verision doesn't come in that gold color. Mine is black, which still looks pretty good! I'll have it in a few days. Can't wait!

[@chrisl2285]

I got my black/white pearloid Premier Brighton yesterday and so far, I'm enjoying the way it plays. My wife saw it for the first time today and after about five seconds of staring at it, she said "It's ugly". LOL I have to admit, it's way more flashy than I like and a simple black pickguard would go a long way to taming the flamboyance. I'm stuck with the headstock and plan to replace the tuners, and even though I don't like the look of the tuning heads, they are far easier to grab and turn than traditional heads, so I guess I'll stick with that style when I upgrade to lockers.

[@JaniceLalla]

Sounds good to me

[@GunsNRoosendael]

DC Resistance: 7.4 kΩ at the neck pickup and 8.3 kΩ at the bridge pickup

[@calbrockocat8728]

D'Angelico is to guitars what Smuckers is to jam: if you look or sound a little weird, you'd better be good. Fine thing their guitars not only look original, but ooze personality,too, just like NYC. Great review, especially with the guitar cutting through all the stacked effects.

[@Mr.Steve-O]

Looks very well made, lots of handcrafted looking details and the duncans are a bonus, the headstock is funky like my Hagstrom Swede Gold Top ( that I am going to sell ). I have to say though I'm not a fan of the pickguard, rather see this model without that pickguard for a more clean look. I think Prince would have loved this guitar as is, but it's too ornate for me, I am a Fender guy, I prefer simplicity.

[@frieswijk]

I love the looks of d'Angelico guitars. The price is always above my budget though

[@emrage78]

They have Premier models for half the price, same look and feel

[@teknomanning]

[@funkfan1751]

I like the looks! Looks about the size of a Les Paul. Be a nice guitar to own.

[@DaveGrimes-f8f]

Hay guys and gals just forget about what you may think about the head stock or pick guard.and just play one. If you do not fall in love with it. Then I don't know what to tell ya. But my Deluxe Brighton is a keeper for me. Next I want one of the Bob Weir Bedford 's. And A DC MINI.

[@corynorell3686]

Interesting you say the action was too low; I saw on the D'Angelico demo of this guitar they said their actions come high from the factory. I prefer low; hope I receive one like yours should I order one.

[@60CycleHumcast]

Yeah mine was buzzing a little. It’s a fast guitar.

[@MrTraewilliams]

That is the best looking D'Angelico solid body I have seen but I don't like the inlays I would prefer more solid looking blocks.

[@daverobinson22]

Excellent ! As someone who has tried and owned all the Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Burns high end instruments I wanted something different and I've ordered this very model in VS and look forward to it's arrival. 🤓

[@jasonb5898]

I absolutely dislike the knobs on my Excel tour series. Same style. They felt cheap honestly, even though I really like real wood on my instrument. I could not gel with that guitar, mostly did not like the pickups at all and overall it had a cheap feel to it. I currently own a Bedford SH premier series I bought used. It sucked at first, except the tone, after 6 hours of polishing frets, setting it up and finally blocking the worthless 6 point tremelo I got a great sounding axe! I love it now for a cheap used guitar.
