D’Angelico is the perfect example of a brand trying to gain market share by giving a little more for the price. The MIK Excel line is really good!

[@jimkostan9932]

I am not a fan of their Headstock. I've played em , compared to the Gibson's I use,, well there TRYING to be better, I don't see many PEOPLE using them.

[@Newnodrogbob]

@@jimkostan9932 ok, so the plural of Gibson doesn’t need an apostrophe, and you mean “they’re.” With that out of the way: what $899 Gibson semi hollow are you using? Or are you comparing a $900 guitar to a $3k guitar? It’s fair if you don’t like the headstock, but the rest of your comment is weird. I only ever see Gibson guys doing this. There’s never fender guys online deriding other brands. PRS players don’t need to hit up every video to talk about how that guitar isn’t as good as theirs. Something about Gibson fans…probably that they’ve bought wildly overpriced lifestyle brand products that aren’t produced with much care…

From Leo: I bought an SS model a couple years ago. It was like you found, well built, great tones, great job on the finish and it came with a great set up. I am a person that changes set up, pickups and parts if I don't love it. I have changed nothing on my d"Angelico, and am pleased every time I pick it up. Totally happy.

[@GaveMeGrace1]

Thank you for your show and the opportunity! Thanks to Sweetwater too!

WOW! Now that is a sweet guitar! Aesthetically, tones, and the overall quality and price makes this a no brainer . Excellent choice Phil . And two big thumbs up for Sweewater in supplying this beaut! The winner won't be able to stop smiling til way into the new year.

I died at "Man I wish my Gibson felt like this 🤣". Not going to lie, I've always loved the D'Angelico headstock design.

Nice art deco headstock. The truss rod cover reminds me of the Chrysler Building in NYC.

[@joeykelly5642]

To me, this is the most interesting model in D’Angelico’s lineup. It offers something unique beyond their (extremely cool) art deco style. Smaller guitarists can finally have a 335-style guitar without looking silly! I really like the concept, and it seems like they did well in terms of fit and finish!

[@dragoonphotography5847]

There has always been a smaller version of the 335…the 339. Both Gibson and Epiphone currently offer versions of it.

[@Johnny.D]

I have a 339 but I really love the headstock of this brand. Plus block inlays.

[@cathyharrity8050]

Excellent review of the D'angelico DC mini. A friend of mine plays a lot of Neil Young and the guitar inherently has that sound. Well worth the price and there's no better music supply store than Sweetwater music

[@Jodyrides]

I just got Matt, the D Angelico guitar that is very much like my gibson 330, except it has no F holes. It is hollow/or semi hollow, I don’t know if it has a solid block down the center like a 335 has,.. it came with a hard case , it has a six way pick up selector toggle. I can switch between single coil and hum bucker. The fit and finish are excellent. The headstock is a work of art. it was set up perfect at the factory.. mine is a satin finish blue.. I cannot describe the sound of these pick ups, so I will let the indescribable remains so.. I have been playing guitar since the 1960s. This is the finest group tomorrow I have ever owned.

[@MrBumpyface]

[@brayanthespinoza6292]

[@samiam9059]

My 55 point inspection came with an extra fret marker that was not supposed to be there on the side of the neck? Love their mini dc model of that.

[@picksalot1]

I've always liked the Art Deco look of D'Angelico guitars. That's a real beauty, and sounds great. Good on Sweetwater for making the guitar available as a giveaway! Phil, I can feel your pain on not being able to keep the guitar. Time for me to enter the drawing!

Beautiful guitar. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Great to see D'Angelico getting a lot of love. I met the owners at Aspen in 2018 and they were the nicest people. I played a prototype they had there, which was very similar to this guitar.

Well on that note you've never had a Godin Radium Winchester brown RN which is a Telecaster on steroids. So how about it will we see the Godin? Inquiring minds want to know. You are a highly respected guitar reviewer and everyone highly respects and values your opinion. I eagerly await the upcoming video 😮.

[@jrfrondelli2023]

My son purchased the Kurt Rosenwinkel model, which is a semi-hollow single-cut, when they were available several years back. He's a jazz player, and this has become his #1 instrument. I do all of his repair and setup work, and in all of the years of use, the only issue is that I had to reglue the nut at one point. D'Angelico's MIK guitars, in my opinion, rival the Ibanez MIJ stuff, in the same type class, at a more reasonable price.

[@russellcade8474]

I gotta say, they really chose a great pickup combo for this guitar. Compliments it quite nicely. I never really gave D'Angelico a good look before, but I think I will from now on.

[@ricemann24]

I bought this guitar 6 months ago, and it sounds better than my Gibson 339 by far for less than half the money. I love it!

[@firdeye2681]

Looks awesome seems like a lot of attention to detail for the price

[@radman1136]

I just bought an Ibanez Artstar at the same price point. It had perfect fit and finish, gold hardware, a second mini-toggle with some cool coil split and out of phase electronics, double bound body and bound neck, some incredible fretboard inlays with a touch of abalone in each one, and my favorite thing was the pickguard having a matching antique burst finish that matches the guitar. Not even bagging on D'Angelico. I had a 12 string semi hollow electric in black with ebony fretboard about 3 years ago that I really liked. But still, do yourself a favor and go look at the Artstar. A lot for the $.

[@SteveSanchez0]

I’ve been eyeing one of these up before you posted this..! Man that would be badass to win! I put in my entry’s and now I’m just anxiously awaiting Fridays podcast! Of course I liked the video and have been a subscriber for about 2 1/2 years. I came across your page when I was in the market for a new to me American Stratocaster, your video gave me the confidence to buy a used American Strat and I succeeded in getting what I was looking for.. I’ve since moved on from that Strat and have another one I was fortunate enough to buy brand new.. but when I got that first Strat, it wasn’t set up quite the way I wanted it to be and I couldn’t afford to have a luthier go through the guitar so I studied up on your videos and dialed it in on my own and ever since then, I refuse to have anyone set up another guitar for me every again. I love dialing in my guitars and doing all of my own upgrades/ adjustments and whatever else! It’s the other fun part of guitar and Knowing Your Gear! You’re doing the guitar community a real solid Phil, thanks man! Now if I could my hands on a blonde D’Angelico that would be lovely haha. Take care
