D'Angelico Premier Series Bedford SH Shell Pink Review 🩷

Pretty cool guitar! 😊 Get one and make it your own!
I ended up returning this one because of the ding and I found it had a wave in the fretboard on the bass side that caused the E and A to buzz in certain spots. I checked this with a StewMac slotted straight and a fret rocker. I did not like the bridge at all and the bridge pickup wasn't great.
I'll try to get my hands on a Deluxe in the future. They're made in Korea instead of Indonesia like this one (the Premier), they have better pickups, a Wilkinson bridge, locking Grovers, and they come with a hardshell case.

Thanks for doing a review! I just ordered one of these the other day! I have to get a tremolo bar for mine, I am wondering if you can help with this, I was told it was a longer tremolo bar for like a jazzmaster or what not. But from this video and photos I've seen, it just looks like a regular Stratocaster length bar? What do you think?

@@mattdejesus9527 it seems just like a Squier Stratocaster bridge whammy. I just packed it up for return shipping but I'll pop the tape and see for you if it's the same as an Affinity Stratocaster real quick.

@@mattdejesus9527 I just confirmed the tremolo bar has the same thread count as a Squier Strat import bridge.

Thank you, Joey!

​@@mattdejesus9527 remember there's two variants of these guitars; the Premier and the Deluxe. The Deluxe were made in Korea and had a Wilkinson bridge which requires a completely different whammy bar but if it's a Premier Bedford a Squier bar will work just fine. 👍🏻

hey man i just got one of these and the humbucker seems to be wired improperly, if i touch the pickup or tilt it a little bit the output comes out fine? any idea what you think could be the issue?

[@joeyskar]

@@izackpaz The one I got was super noisy. I popped it open and it looked like everything was wired fine. I think that pickup is garbage. I was tempted to put in a Gibson Mini Humbucker but I was already over it when I noticed the bridge was a Squier Affinity tremolo.
