Just bought the Lexington Dreadnought in aged mahogany.... the mahogany body sounds incredible. Easy to play. Tried multiple models, sat in GC for 2 hours, easily the best sounding D'A in that price range. Sounds great plugged in too.

I bought one of their Premier Fulton 12 strings a while back. I go to Guitar Center every weekend and test out everything they get in. They carry a lot of different brands and it always annoyed me that the 12 strings had such high action they were hard to play. Picked up D'angelico and the set up was literally perfect! For the money...hard to beat. The comment about what they once were...they have their high end products that are made in the USA and lower prices lines that are imports.

As Mainly strat and tele player … I wanted to have something with Humbuckers. Gibson never really tempted me design wise but also feel wise. Went to a shop and tried a premiere Atlantic and deluxe. Stunned because immediately I connected with the guitar and it was such a pleasure to play. Neck ( everybody should consider the satin finish because it’s amazing ), setup, playability and sound. Came out of the shop with the premiere even though I was ready to spend the money for the deluxe. To me sounded more warm and btw incredible finished. Love it and Looking forward to try next time the Bedford sh

I Love Andertons TV.... I'm from Australia...... This video has led me to explore more D'Angelico Guitars.... AND...... they are actually a bit under the radar and should be talked about more.... AND.... I think you should show a new video about hollow body and semi hollow body guitars and consider the "D'Angelico Excel SS Semi Hollow in Black Dog with shield tremolo" as a very strong contender. Compare it with "PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo", "Epiphone ES-335", "Gretsch Electromatic G5622 Center Block Double-Cut" and you'd better throw the Gibson ES-335 in there maybe too.

I had an LS gramercy (GA) and I have an Excel Tammany(OM) If you can't get the Excel range then get it. The LS is pretty tinny compared to the Excel. Though not bad. If your getting a laminate guitar choose the dreadnaught, it helps fill out the tone and lower volume

Pete and Ben could make an unplugged Guitar Hero controller sound good. So take their assessment on the quality of these affordable guitars with a grain of salt. They could very well be true pieces of shit for 90% of players out there who don't have the talent to wow you playing air guitar like I'm sure these guys could do. But I do respect the channel and know these guys are keepin' it real and not trying pull the wool over anyone's eyes to make a sale.

I had a Premier Bowery for a minute. It was a very solid-feeling and sounding guitar. I have other guitars that I think have a little more of "that certain something", so I sold it, but almost regret it. It felt playable and reliable.

The guitars are ok. They have about the dynamic range I would expect from a £250 acoustic. Pete was hitting that guitar pretty hard at one point and the sound coming across was a little underwhelming for me. They are right about the headstocks though, very smart.
