D'Angelico Deluxe Bedford! - The CHAMELEON!!

[@emiliomontesdeocagonzalez681]

Finally a good YT guitar theme channel that goes further and beyond the overrated Gibson and Fender brands.

Thanks man!

D’Angelico hit it out of the park with this line of guitars. Prices are very reasonably too. Thanks for introducing them to us Darrell!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Agreed! I'm alway glad to help!

[@DrewLutz0185]

How much are they?

[@jorgegvb]

Drew Lutz Models run $699-$1299. The model Darrell was playing was $1299.

[@urbaniteproductions.4391]

Do we know where these guitars are made? The deluxe models i mean :)

[@patricknorals5973]

Not only have I watched this video five times, but Ive had my eye on this model for some time now, and because of your review I bought it! Thank you for your awesome input, as well as the demo of this amazing instrument.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Congratulations on the new 🎸!!

[@lynneftw]

Which color did you get?

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

The Deluxe Bedford is seriously one of the coolest guitars I've played all year! D'Angelico definitely did a killer job on this one :) Also, I'm happy to have some content for you guys that isn't Fender or Gibson lol! Bedford: imp.i114863.net/Dob75

[@tdtom1376]

Hey There DB. not to pin you to something but, IF you had this guitar before you built the Tele-Strat hybrid, would you still have built the tele? Wish I could get quality like that where I live without mortgaging the house.

[@mknewlan67]

Darrell Braun Guitar Why are you on YT and not selling out arenas?

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Good question! I think if I wasn't into partscasters in a HUGE way, I don't think I would. The Bedford covers a lot of my favourite tones :)

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

😄 Thanks for the kind words man!

[@tdtom1376]

a lot of people like your tones. good on ya Darrell

[@robertclarkguitar]

Dude. You surely have the most crisp videos. Your lighting and editing filming etc are spot on. Playing is without mention stellar and versatile. Love the show.

[@weldingweirdo5463]

I’m digging the new intro

Add me to that list too! Awesome intro (oh, and great video too 😉)

That's the most beautiful color for a guitar. Great video Darrell, thanks.

[@furious444]

Another guitar going on to my “desperately want” list

[@josephgrant757]

This one of the coolest guitars you’ve owned man, I’m a Fender guy but I love the look of D’Angelico’s. Glad to see them in your videos man, can’t wait to see what projects you have in store with them man

[@caseyking8394]

Finally! been waiting for the review since you used this guitar in the inversion vid. Awesome tones man!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Thanks CK!

[@icenic_wolf]

The "solo tones in a mix" were killer! Great playing too, as always.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Thanks Jeff!

[@mcleroy1967]

It's beautiful, they did a great job designing something with a unique look. They pulled all the stops on tone options too.

[@versnellingspookie]

Thanks for the great demo! I love hearing someone really explore the tonal varieties on a guitar and play both clean and overdriven stuff ;^)

[@simoneric8183]

I love the sound of this Angelico so much that I've been listening to the video six times in a row... Jeee I'm hooked !

[@YBNegative]

i have been looking at these D'angelico guitars as they pop up on different sites. They always look cool, but i was unsure about the sound & play-ability.... i am 100 sure, after watching this, that i have to have one! Thanks again DBG!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Glad to help!

[@benmiller9854]

Bedford is a beautiful looking guitar, reminds me of a Fender Mustang Kurt Cobain with the humbucker. Excellent video thank you for the information

[@paullee2449]

What a beautiful guitar. I love the art deco styling.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

What a great variety of tones and truly unique sounding... but that finish... oh, my! Thank you for introducing me to this line of guitars. Great demo, Darrell.

[@PaulyDTheKiwi]

Hey Darrell! Absolutely love this guitar!! Sounds Awesome and looks even better lol. Thanks Brother for an excellent review, can’t wait to hear the other one!!! Cheers Buddy!!!!

[@RumbleFish69]

I swear by D'Angelico... I have 12 guitars and my go-to guitar is my D'Angelico Deluxe Ludlow. It's the best guitar I have ever played and I also own a Gibson Les Paul Standard. I learned long ago that a quality guitar does not necessarily need to come from one of the big name outfits like Gibson or Fender. I love how this video captures the essence and history of D'Angelico guitars. Great video!

[@draganm7823]

Darrell is diggin this Bedford! So am I. Need to check out the D'Angelico line! Thanks again Darrell!

[@jonwright8672]

I could listen to you play all day, you have such a great touch. Thanks for all the brilliant videos.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Thanks for the kind words Jon!

[@draganm7823]

Packed with features and looks killer! Another home run for DBG demo!👌

[@cgr88m]

Strat like guitar with gibson neck, exactly what i need.

[@bangermccrusher]

cgr88m i know!!!

[@lueysixty-six7300]

It's really more a Fender neck than Gibson. Sure t has 3×3 tuners like, G, but the satin maple back is all F. And that's were most of your contact with a guitar is : its' neck.

[@nickrogers9400]

You just can not beat those clean tones man, so good!

[@nickrogers9400]

Also I was cringing a bit at how much you were smudging the guitar 😂 but that's bound to happen

[@fenderbender9922]

What a sleeper! I think that there is a lot of good stuff inside that guitar that wants out! I noticed that the neck pup is slightly tilted to the neck.

[@JSGuitar80]

Great review! This guitar is so unique. I want one...right now!

[@jamesduckworth9117]

Very cool guitar. Can’t wait for the other one

[@timleem3609]

Beautiful guitar and fantastic tones! Great playing that showcases this guitar really well.

[@1stCMcook]

Purple is the perfect color for this

[@calebholloway1993]

I just played one of these today at the local shop and let me just tell you these guitars are absolutely incredible nice thick neck resonates really nice... better than any epiphone you'll find 100X better than any fender I've played I'd you're thinking about buying one just do it it's really awesome

[@Oilid]

Gosh, what a beautiful guitar!!!!! 💖 BUT, first thing I noticed was the poorly done plastic back plate. The headstock is sooooo sexy!

[@countblue]

I have fond memories with that brand. I dont know if its the same company to this day. I used a humbucker from them in 1976 in an Fender Tele. I have pictures of it to reminde me to this day, made a nice humbucker tele.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Cool!

Thanks PB!

[@turdferguson9942]

Been looking at some used Fender Toronados and this definitely looks a lot like it. I liked the Toronado because it had a Jazzmaster type look to it but with the 2V/2T knobs on it. Going to check these out now too.

[@josegallegosdds]

Darrell...the problem is that everything you try out sounds good! That speaks volumes about you as a player, your gear and your recording technique. I gotta say.....nice job👍🏼 Always enjoy your reviews.

[@simoneric8183]

I'll certainly try to grab one for Christmas time ! Thank you Darrell and thank you to the Angelico people ! They do things seriously, it shows, and you can hear it . Ravishing, charming beauty, very even, fully resonating instrument, gorgeous sound whatever the settings, especially on the middle position. Now one question : Reverend... or d'Angelico ?... Airsonic... or Deluxe Bedford ? For those who read this, I would like to know which one would you choose...

[@stephane9525]

I have the same question: Reverend or D'Angelico ? I think i need more a Fender sound but with a lot of versatility (great clear but also good for "agressive" sounds for noise rock, and even stoner rock).

[@deedevlin3934]

Nice review as usual can't wait to see the Atlantic in action

[@georgiy5969]

Thank you, Darrell!!! Now I know what I will buy soon!!!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: D'Angelico has really made it's presence known in the market. In addition to great playing and sounding guitars, they have proudly brought Bling back. Thanks for the test, am looking forward to your review of the Single cut model

[@fredn2735]

The Bedford looks and sounds cool you may have to get it. The body reminds me of the Hamer eclipses from the 80s. Very cool

[@74dartman13]

I have no clue what it costs. I'm sure it's not cheap. It sounded great and the quality of the hardware looks top notch! The frets are nicely rounded on the ends. Just everything looks beautiful! That's a gorgeous guitar!👍😎🎸🎶

[@Rainproof1]

I have seen it on Amazon for about $1,300.

[@jim6442]

I have a 2018 D'Angelico EXL-1 jazz box that is very nice. Great neck, great electronics, great build quality and seriously playable right out of the box. The solid bodies look fantastic and I'll bet the quality is great. I seriously doubt that headstock is going to be a big seller though in solid bodies. I really think they need to do something about the design of it even though it doesn't take anything away from the guitars performance.

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

imo Good vid on a guitar the deserves no less. Haven't seen a D'Angelico in a long time. imo

[@dlewtweentorla1210]

Another Great Vid! Have a D'Angelico Exell SS , plays beautifully and is way more versitle than anticipated. Would like to see your reviews on some of the D'Angelico Semi Hollow's. Darrell, have you every played any of the Supro Island Series Solidbody Electrics? Be fab to see a review on the Supro Hampton. Sort of reminds me of the Bedford (reading some of the features). Would so appreciate and LOVE to see a review on it!! PLEASE!! Some great prices on the Supro's now. Can't find a whole lot of reviews (most of which ar very good) thing is I agree with you most of the time and value your opinion. Thanks Keep up the passion and great work!

[@mjallenuk]

Nice sounding guitar, the new intro is pretty badass!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Thanks man!

[@hunterthompson2206]

Nice to see a guitar design that isn't just another Les Paul, Strat or Tele clone. Looks like D'Angelico put some serious thought into how it wanted to enter the solid body game. Now I just need to knock over a liquor store or two to get the funds for one of these! ;-P Thanks for such a well-produced and thorough review, Darrell.

[@Loner_Kun]

your new intro is awesome and like always cool video keep up the great work 🤘🤘

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

[@danielfalotico2776]

I would love a comparison with the New Bedford Sh vs a FenderStrat HSS. SAME pickup configuration. Would love to see which guitar would be best for which genre.

[@donfully]

I just can't get over these solid body shapes

[@jono4708]

Gahrate tone. Colors Stunning. Can't imagine a genre or venue where this guitar wouldn't kill. Has to be crazy expensive

That was some nice informal noodling =) Visually that guitar is a bit too fancy for me but it sounds great and I really like that they're trying out stuff.

[@jcoulter43]

Love your playing as usual. I love the color on this, but the pickguard could be smaller or darker color and it wouldn't hide so much of that beautiful finish (in my opinion). Great review as always. God bless bro! 🎸😎👍

[@fenderbender9922]

I think the pickguard shape is a nod to their f-hole models.✌

[@flatjesus]

How is the tuning stability on this guitar?

[@magicdaveable]

Beautiful guitar. I had a "real built by John D'Angelico New Yorker back in the late 1960's. It was a gorgeous guitar that should have been kept but I was young and foolish.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Whoa! That would be a nice guitar to have right about now :)

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Hi, Darrell! Could you please do a sound test of the D’Angelico Premiere vs Deluxe Bedford?

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Working in A#. Nice! Great Demo Darrell.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Thanks man!

[@DarthPreamp]

Nice demo video !

[@kdlp3333]

Interesting (for me) that these two should pop up on Darrell's channel now. Two weekends back I brought home the Atlantic in natural finished swamp ash. Everything else appears identical to the black one Darrell shows in the beginning of the video. Locking tuners, split-coil humbuckers, beautiful fit and finish and incredible playability. And maybe most importantly, tone, tone and tone... and what I mean by that is that not only does it have great tone, but it has a ton of different tones (much as Darrell demo'ed on this video, even though the pickup config is different on the Bedford.) These are GREAT first solid-body's from D'Angelico... As an aside, while the guitar was waiting for its case at the check-out counter, a store employee (speaking to another store employee) said "$hit!, someone's buying this? I love this thing..." And FWIW, it was the last one they had in stock, so I think the word is out!!! Darrel, I'll be looking forward to your review on the Atlantic!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Congratulations on the sweet new Atlantic!

[@dominicconti7736]

Which guitar do you recommend? The Atlantic Deluxe or the Bedford Deluxe?

[@bambostarla6259]

My local store has some of these and I wanted to know how well they faired construction wise compared to epiphone, gibson, prs se and the lot. Thanks darrel!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Glad to help 👍

[@fattboyzz1355]

Great review on this Darrell ! Sounds very nice . I noticed the new intro on the last video and then enjoyed it on this one . Great playing as always on this channel. I look forward to these videos man :0)

[@bbyllma]

One of the most beautiful guitars EVER!! I'd love to have one, but I'm sure its so expensive that its unobtainable...

[@ForeverStrange101]

so I'm just learning to play on acoustic, but I know I really want to get an electric sometime this year; I wanted something versatile but good for indie/alt/modern neosoul and lo-fi stuff and know generally speaking it seems like the jazzmaster and jaguar were the go to's, but I just love the look of this thing. is the premier version worth it to anyone whos played? is this versatile enough but good for indie and all that? I'm still new like I said so trying to decide is just really confusing with all the choices out there

[@csm6324]

redmagerebel yeah man, tbh you can most sounds out of any guitar, amp settings/pedals and how you play said instrument can change tone tremendously. The thing I’ve learned most with guitar is get the body shape or colour that inspires you the most and of course how it feels in your hands! Might struggle to get it chugging death metal but you could still do it if you put your ear to it!

[@gtriv4509]

Guys, I need help I went to my guitar tech, and I saw an Epiphone G400 Custom (3 pickups version), it was dissasembled, and he said he can sell me the guitar for 305$ I can talk to him and maybe buy it for a lower price, but the thing is that I don't know which pickups are gonna suit it better Does It worth? The guitar needs new pots, pickups (maybe), tuners and the bridge I think that putting 275$ in the guitar for selected components will make It a really good guitar with nothing to envy to higher price guitars I should look to It with more detail though I play metal mostly, but I want a versatile guitar

[@kirkscobey3031]

Squier 51 meets Les Paul meets style and taste

[@stankfanger1366]

I can't help it, I absolutely LOVE my 51. Something about that guitar makes me want to pick it up every time I think about it.

[@kirkscobey3031]

Same here. Modded quite a few over the years. Wish more of the single-humbucker were on the market and affordable!

[@akatsukiamp]

I dig the middle position with stacked neck and split bridge. Anyone know if this is set-in or neck-through construction? I'm guessing set, and I really wish other set neck brands like Gibson or PRS used that recessed neck joint. I hate my boxy LP joint...

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

You should talk about their strings. I love their strings.

[@henry66699]

I am looking for a guitar and sort of newbie about it.....Darrell talks about the straplocks...as far as I see most guitars for sale, they come with straplocks, again I don't know everything so excuse me if I say something weird. But Darell say's this guitar comes with straplocks as if that is not the rule. In other words do I have to take a drill to assemble them If a guitar doesn't have them. Or do the guitars that don't have them standard have holes to attach them to the guitar?

[@bmaniac1]

How does the premier model sound?

[@nelassal1]

Darrell, you got a big fan of your videos here in Brazil!! one question, did you try the Bedford Premier? If so, is there a significant difference between the HB102 and the 59s Seymour Duncans to justify the price difference? Maybe you can make videos comparing the Premier versus DeLuxe versions for the DAngellicos.

[@KeganVanSickle]

Great looking guitar, except for the massive pickguard. I would like to see it with a smaller pickguard on one side only, or no pickguard. It would also have been nice if they would have put gold covers on the pickups to match the bridge and tuners.
