Bound f-hole is my new favourite insult

[@mattnelson8325]

That is priceless my friend. I've spent the last half hour figuring out ways to use that. I owe ya one. Ha!

[@jayceburns8246]

What a nut slot.

[@daveormand4977]

Hahahaha

[@NoelHaven]

I work with a few bound f-holes, I just never found the words to convey it properly before now though, thanks man! 🤙🏻😂

[@kirkscobey3031]

Nothing funny about constipation

[@misteress3840]

Very helpful and detailed review of a great sounding guitar. Thanks for the long hours making this video, Phil. 😊

[@nobnobnobnob]

Man, you're the most detailed reviewer on YT. Aside from that, when you demo, you focus on riffs and licks instead of shredding which is nice, which tests the guitar more.

[@nuthinbutlove]

I agree in regards to the time and attention to detail, and I like hearing riffs as well. It's hard to really gain an appreciation of the instruments with shredding

[@joesatchton212]

This is the way. The KYG way. :P

[@fmh357]

I always love your reviews. I closed my eyes and listened for a bit and it had almost a pure acoustic vibe. Nice. Thanks.

[@Bobyoudontneeemyname]

Great review Phil! I love how you always try to pit little tips in to try and fix issues people may have

[@georgemoore7231]

I really enjoyed this review that highlighted a wonderful guitar while providing some great tech tips. As Phil pointed out the tone of this guitar is it’s best feature. I have to give kudos to Phil’s playing. Those were some really tasty riffs he laid down. I think he really bonded with that guitar.

[@0riole11]

An alternative to Loctite is clear nailpolish, I've used it for years, it also works on the screws on glasses arms.

[@markiszak]

Enjoyed your exploration of this guitar Phil, including the tips you shared. And the guitar sounds great to my ears, thank you for this Phil 😎

[@BrentAdams]

Great job on your Reviews...and this one was no exception. Thank You for what you do Phil!

[@guitarzan11litwin51]

Good extended format. Good tech tip. Thank you Phill.

[@sG_Chimera]

D’Angelico is really killing it. My 2022 Bedford deluxe p90 is my favorite guitar, even among the USA and Japan made guitars I own.

[@sonofhorror1995]

My Guitar Center edition Fiesta Red Bedford SH is my number one. I literally haven't picked up another guitar since getting it months ago and it just feels perfect. The Bedford is truly a gem of a guitar and the shape is just unique enough to be its own thing.

[@KB_Joys]

Lots of helpful and useful information, not many people are willing to offer that up. Not a fan at all of hollow bodied guitars myself, but i think you have made a very nice video for us☺️

[@docf.n.t.2310]

I have had a D'Angelico 12 string (ES 335 model) for a few years now. I bought it on a whim, perhaps the best whim purchase in 45 years of guitar buying. I love this guitar so much, its case kept until time to tune and play, unlike my other "go to" guitars, which hang on a wall. I plan to get a 6 string version, and will bet this will be the one. It WILL BE a D'Angelico for sure !!!

[@davidmckenna6562]

Wow! That’s the most comprehensive review of a guitar I’ve ever seen. I learned a ton of things from this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@MrJsteed2009]

Thanks for a very helpful introduction! They’ve been on my radar 😊

[@patrickingalls5954]

Great review! I have had my eye on a D'Angelico Blackdog semi hollowbody. This review helped make up my mind. Now, the hard part is convincing the wife how much I really, really need a new guitar. Wish me luck!

[@shawnmartin4701]

This really sounds great, especially for this type of guitar. Nice thorough review as well.

[@JoshuaC923]

Very cool review Phil. Appreciate you always showing us that guitars don't always arrive 10/10 and showing us how to fix small issues. That would be very helpful for people that buy used. Very good idea to do the body measurements! Keep up the great work!

[@JoshuaC923]

Looks like they have a new headstock for this series

[@fx648]

Outstanding video! Thanks!

[@bkbinj6320]

Thanks for the demo and review Phil.

[@leanmeanfightinmchn]

D'Angelico just makes killer instruments. Your indepth video just reinforced it. As always, great video!

[@MrRandali]

This video should win some kind of award. Keep up the excellent work my friend!

[@ebutuoy2062]

Thank you so much for this super in-depth review and all the detail you provide here. You actually sold me on this guitar and after seeing it I was able to find the model above this one on-line & clearance discounted at over 40%! It was meant to be and I can't wait to get my awesome D' Angelico Excel DC XT! Thanks again, Phillip

[@hankwaddell998]

Fantastic job, best any review of anything on KZbin ever.

[@julesalexander2583]

Excellent review. Thanks.

[@jacksaintjack2844]

Incredibly informative. You definitely know your stuff !!!!

[@waynecribb4922]

Enjoy all your reviews. More intricate information than many. Very nice guitar.

[@kerryewen3624]

Always a great experience watching your videos

[@ImGeorgie]

GAWD DAMN… sr you do make me get inspired, such details and such explanation, thank you so much ! this is excellent exactly what I needed to see.

[@owenanstey436]

A very comprehensive test, logically done, good work.

[@antonsavin72]

Incredibly beautiful sounding guitar!

[@dennisdewinter1997]

Such a great review. So thorough!

[@davidblair4558]

Nice review Phillip. Thorough & to the point. Just the right amount of info& playing (nice licks btw). I’ll be back to see what else you got. Thanks

[@jpoggi9081]

Showed me a lot of ways to appreciate and quantify the quality of a guitar thank you

[@bccoregon]

I really enjoyed listening to your playin, and getting some education at the same time.

[@audiomurphy]

Sounds Amazing. Thank you for this review. Lovely Guitar.

[@murcelo]

This channel is by far one of the best for guitar entusiasts

[@dazandres08]

Thanks to you for your videos Phil!! Keep it on !!

[@rockystarland6051]

Another great review… especially like the added Tech-Tips on how to eliminate some of the little quirks.

[@whitec59]

So many little tech tips! Thanks

[@MesaGuitarGuy]

great tips in this! Thanks Phil

[@Sunflowrrunner]

I have a semi hollow body I hadn't cared much for since I got it in high school, but last year I was just messing around and put some heavy gage strings on it and down tuned it, and I think it really helps bring out the "thumpiness" that semi-hollow bodies should have.

[@KenFullman]

So you actually "learned" something. Unlike this commercial.

[@HatOnAHat]

Great video, Phil! Thanks for the review.

[@ronmoore8732]

Yes what a great tone it has. Loved the sound

[@desertfox3860]

Nice review, thanks for sharing.

[@robm667]

Dude for sure exceptional video content

[@jimmycrabtree-tb6jc]

This is so cool!

[@bryanfarless9579]

Hello Phill. Thank you for all the knowledge you pass on, I think your playing sounds great, I really like the neck pickup tone on that one, one of the prettiest I have heard.

[@jlathem56]

Cool review. Thanks.

[@orquestraoceanica1245]

Another great video, Phil! Very didatic, thanks and congrats!

[@jetblack7044]

Sounds beautiful

[@nednobody3253]

Good Review & Great selection of Music for the Live.

[@wesboundmusic]

Wow, this one really sounded very well balanced, incredibly warm, but not "fuzzy" or inarticulate in terms of tone and string definition. Also, loved to see how you gave tipps to enhance on the setup and I feel tempted to cross-check what the guitar tech did on mine and am slightly intimidated to do so at the same time, haha😀😇. I will do a tone cross check though and pay special attention to that after hearing you point out some of the build-typical weaknesses in those instruments. Side note: Mine sports a very rare 15.15-inch body, which is closer to a solid body, I know, and which is exactly the reason for me having favoured it over an Ibanez made ES-335 (VS93FLM, I think, was the model). Very good take aways here, thank you for putting out quality content like this! (Enjoyed your playing as well, very nice!)

[@golflre7179]

Great review, good sounding

[@scottstubbs9913]

Great Review!

[@danieldevine8588]

Great video. GREAT sounding guitar--both clean & overdriven

[@le_th_]

Beautiful sounding instrument! Thanks for this overview. I'm going to check out one of their minis.

[@scottreynolds6317]

Great vid Phil!!! That guitar sounds fantastic!!!!

[@alittlebitoflight]

Great review.

[@monmixer]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Phil. I learned quite few tips from you.

[@Neil.Swinnerton]

Excellent review - thank you - this has earned you a subscription.

[@davidAll5]

excellent review thanx

[@jmorg1267]

That sounds amazing!

[@uniknot]

Wow, sounds really good! Great job!

[@avjake]

Wow, that neck tone is seriously juicy. Thanks for a great review.

[@Butterfliesandzebras]

Sounds great man, nice work!

[@el0blaino]

That was helpful, thanks.

[@chrisnedbalek2866]

I love the way it sounds clean on the neck.

[@harryprater9014]

Very nice review. Really like the details, such as with the volt meter...cool

[@caseylee12]

I got my D'Angelico Premier DC at the beginning of covid, at a pawn shop for $300, with a fitted case. Gloss black. What a great instrument. Art Deco all over this thing, and it plays and sounds amazing! REALLY bluesy, or you can rock it, since the center block allows you to use plenty of gain. Love this guitar! Thanks for the video, Phil, always enjoy your reviews!

[@TheKevinKitchen]

Hi Phil. Incredible knowledge and very nice presentation. You are the expert - and nice playing also. A pleasure Phil. Best wishes

[@HarryVerey]

Very detailed and highly informative .

[@rocketman3073]

Great video!

[@f33fifofum]

That guitar was a nice surprise. Looked and sounded great.

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

That did sound really nice. Right in the sweet spot.

[@kevinhuber8723]

Wow, nice guitar! The fit and finish look over the top.

[@philipsteed6341]

Really great review. Going to try one for sure.

[@slowerpicker]

Great review. I’m considering a guitar like this. D’Angelico will go top of my list.

[@garymcaleer6112]

Beautiful sound. Perfect, harmonically balanced semi.

[@richardwashbrook541]

Thank You for the review I have been looking for an ES 335 copy and this one looks and very well made. Thank you for the review

[@amain325]

I've been playing a Hagstrom Viking for over 12 years. I love it, it's my main gigging guitar, everything about it just nails it.

[@phucknuts]

I have the hagstrom viking,,and the hagstrom super viling...i absolutely love them both. I also have the guild starfire 5 which i think is even better quality.

[@smollande]

Great tone right out of the box.

[@msaintpc]

Now that's a beautiful guitar!👍

[@CarlGoldmam]

That sounded awesome🎸🎸🎸

[@scottraycraft5151]

you do great reviews...very detailed and extensive...i have many semi hollows some are warmer than others...my 2 full hollows are in fact VERY bright but not harsh...i am all about the f-holes...except when i have to upgrade or fix electronics

[@henninghesse9910]

Great guitar, great review and great playing!

[@turrafirmaguitarchannel]

Great review and you pulled a really nice tone out of the guitar! 🔥👋🇦🇺

[@yetigoosecreature8682]

I was never attracted to hollow / semi-hollow semi-acoustic (ES style) guitars - but I now have two of them - a 6-string and a 12-string - they're great. :)

[@timclaus8313]

The Guild Starfire 1-12 is a great 12 string, and includes split coil capability.

[@electron7373]

Nice tone Phillip. Very full bodied sound and great looking too!

[@larry573]

fantastic pace and detail....pro

[@uelssom]

Very very very informative video

[@ricksrealpitbbq]

I’ve got a DC Excel and love it. Every bit as good as a 335 in my opinion. Mine has Kent Armstrong pickups and I have a floating bridge with the stair step tailpiece. I’m fairly certain they are made in Korea.

[@timelwell7002]

Nice guitar - great video, keep up the good work..!

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

Good review! D’Angelico put out excellent guitars.

[@gregorygetable]

All your videos wonderful info. I have 2 D'Angelico Boardwalk semi Hollow 2 Seymour D HH an 2nd Seymour P90. Both USA pickups stock...excellent

[@KittyKatMan93]

The tech tips bass riff has become my favorite part of your videos lol

[@Silentprofessional1]

Beautiful guitar.

[@jeanlawson9133]

Tip with the sand paper and sting cutoffs is awesome I keep them they are also good for cleaning Carburetor jet's Etc.... Thanks 👍

[@Lodewikus]

Nice review

[@stevehilton5717]
