Review Demo - D'Angelico EX-59

[@jeffriley9807]

John this review has encouraged me to go try the ex59 out for myself. Thx

[@paulgilbert4]

Dude! John !! I read your wikipedia page. You're a great guy and a great musician. You have accomplished much. I hope i could play jazz as good as you or just be as good of a musician as you. You are one of my new guitar heroes. Much respect.

[@johnbohlinger4868]

Thanks for the kind words. I promise, anything I can play, you can play as well. Cheers, jb

[@BrianOates]

What he is playing at the beginning was almost note for note from Jerry Reed's composition "Jiffy Jam." John Knowles has a book of Jerry Reed transcriptions with this tune in it as well as many others.

[@johnbohlinger4868]

Yup..that's my hacky take on Jiffy Jam. Jerry Reed remains my hero. Thanks

[@tommywd40]

John, you kick some serious ass. Always look forward to your reviews

[@nitemareman1]

Lightning fast chord changes. Great playing as usual John!

[@birartesbira1831]

Very nice guitar. Excellent demonstration.

[@46Coup]

This is one of the best gear reviews I have seen on you tube. John uses a simple straight forward format giving this EX 59's attributes in a clear concise manner with plenty of personality thrown in to keep me from getting bored with the presentation. His guitar styling's are exceptional. All butter and honey. Would like to learn some of those licks he uses.

[@IPushHard]

John, PG should be aware that the only reason I subscribed was due to great reviews...and awesome playing. I wish I were as well rounded of a player as you are. Great video.

[@JackFossett]

Beautiful playing!

[@simonverkerk8392]

Really slick riffs on the bridge pickup especially! Cool

[@M3RRIH3W13]

Impressed with the Mesa Lead channel on the EX-59. That was a great rock tone coming from a hollowbody!

[@eddiegeorge4047]

Great opener John !

I was a little worried when mr. B started out, but he´s the right guy at the right place. I learn the exact right things about the new products from him.

[@WiseedE]

Nice playing, Mr. Bohlinger. Very nice indeed!

[@everhard1000]

Nice work,John !!!

[@BillWardWesternLights]

I have been looking at the EXL-1 which has great reviews both plugged in and acoustically with a floating pickup. This really sounds great, with a lot of diversity in sound and obviously has a better pickup system. One of the things I am looking for in an archtop now is a large body guitar that also can be played acoustically and sound good while practicing and just jamming in the living room. How would this compare acoustically with the EXL-1 played acoustically? Thanks a bunch!

[@rigorhead01]

One of your best demos John! Great playing! Love the guitar, love the Lonestar.

[@guitarplayntaylor91]

Stellar playing!

[@darrellqueen3333]

Best playing I've heard from you on these demos. Nice!!!!

[@mellecaster]

Great Demo John !

[@reggiehobbs8800]

WHAT is he playing at the beginning of this video? Great playing.

[@runescaper1333]

Jiffy jam

[@MuriMorello]

a even worse copy of brent masons first rule of thumb

[@Blackgrass1]

Since it doesn't have a center block, I wonder how the feedback is when playing loud on stage. Any experiences?

[@scottyb3b7]

Makes me happy to see someone plugging a hollowbody into a Boogie for a change. Love the Lone Star!

[@georgeavouris8539]

Wonderful demo and wonderful review.

[@axlrose5803]

What's the style of guitar at the beginning? A subgenre of jazz or what? Sounds great!

[@johnfenner347]

Great playing . Super Sounds ! . Really Appreciate this Review. Most unfortunate that people who don't know what they are talking about and just want to be Rude, find their way onto these Sights. Best Wishes. John Fenner.

[@HiggaionSelah_EWFMG]

☑ just bought a resale matte black series 59 deluxe , I am suspecting it will sound similar to this with the DA_P90's _seems a gorgeous guitar❗😊 gotta say I like the no pick guard look 👍

[@MatthewMacFarlaneMusic]

D'angelico's are so stylish. Great axe and review!

[@michaelwilson1960]

Great guitar & review

[@djsogovusogovu1412]

WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR THAT GUIATR?

[@greatvanzini]

It's a beauty. Great playing as usual.

[@predeem1629]

Is this a full hollowbody?

[@picker63028]

Nice playing and excellent review. Sweet guitar. Boogie amp sounds great too. Not my choice for jazz amps, but does the job.

[@runescaper1333]

Are your hands for sale too?

[@marklr5716]

what a great review!!

[@aportilla007]

Bridge pinned?

[@scottyb3b7]

I always like this guy. I thought these were called a 'Series 59' - not a real EX-59 (those were/are the old classic ones).

[@caiquecabelo5536]

I love this guitars! great video!

[@flexiblemusica]

Great Guitar!! Thanks!

[@rydes68]

Fantastic review, lovely playing very versatile. Been looking for an affordable (within reason) archtop with P-90's (my favorite pickups by a mile). This guitar is everything I'm looking for except the fact they don't make it left handed...and possibly a different paint job (vintage/tobacco sunburst). cheers.

[@sidownes]

same, including fact I'm a lefty :(

[@brianeharmonjr]

Cherry burst is an unfortunate color choice on these, but otherwise seems like a stellar guitar for the price.

[@HouseofChains81]

This is John Bohlinger! PEACE OUT! *goes into light jazz riff* I found that too funny. Great playing. Have you considered giving a few online lessons. You have a great technique with your picking and hybrid picking. I'd love to learn more.

[@johnbohlinger4868]

I'm filming some quick lessons for Premier Guitar now. Look for them in 2015.

[@Yusnijewel24]

made in ?

[@johnkleeman2801]

Republic of Korea

[@johnkleeman2801]

Unsung plant. In the hand it feels like Gretsch main line quality. IMHO

[@2121toso]

What a player!!

[@oneinchsidehop]

I guess "where the author gets of his ass and takes a jazz class" has really paid off fast. Really nice review/demo.

[@Mistershredd]

I guess sliding the bridge back into correct centered position just wasn't an option.

[@gha714]

the bridge looks out of line to me...

[@ric9452]

John is a great guy .....

[@itaiarad098320]

Funk? I would not say so. Maybe country. Wonderful playing, great instrument.

[@DiegoBarretoGuitarra]

That reverb tail is so annoying! :(

[@misha1151]

Men..p-90s are awesome

[@seamusbrowne4909]

What!!! No EBONY BOARD.😮😯😲

[@shotaenoshimacgp8213]

jiffy jam! jerry reed

[@216trixie]

NOOO.....For fucks sake: It's pronounced "Dan-gel-ico". You don't say the "D" separately. Same with D' addario.

[@cobyup10]

Lol 1.11/16th

[@Mistershredd]

Okay, decent practice take. Now learn your speech and try again.

[@Dionydejesus]

I had to admit in my personal taste the P90 is ugly as hell, but the sound is marvelous, I hope if someone can build the P90 but like the PAF style it would be awesome. It's just cosmetic thing; but sometimes if you see a girl with a ugly lipstick you can said yuck?? depends!! LOL!!

[@mrelmer6512]

In my opinion the D'Angelico Ex59 line of guitars quality is awful and very plastic feeling. I wouldn't spend $1,500 on a jazz box like this for a beginner.

[@mickkennedy1344]

"Hi, I'm John Baw--ling--GUR..." --- It's pronounced DANgelico, John -- why do you Americans always mis-pronounce people's names? -- I bet you say 'Dee-Addario' too -- then again, who else would pronounce Giovanni Caboto as 'John Cabot'....ffs. :))

[@Walsh2571]

+Mick Kennedy agreed. I'm an Australian who is over self conscious of their accent, so I always get asked "What accent is that?" - i've hybridized between British, Australian and American. But i'd never commit such a crime as disfiguring another language (like Italian in this case).

[@jamest.byrnes8142]

You know I went to school with an entire family of D'Angelicos who all, I suppose, mispronounced their names according to those up on their high horses. And I do believe it was the English who christened that Italian navigator.

[@scooter5005]

Um, what was your point? Nothing much to do with reality as this was a great review.

[@mickkennedy1344]

"mispronounced their names according to those up on their high horses" -- Do you mean they said 'Deee-Angelico', well that's wrong, it's an Italian name, it's pronounced DANgelico -- you're saying Italians are up on "their high horses"........because they won't mispronounce their own names to suit Americans?

[@blueswood854]

Who gives a shit?
