probably the most beautiful solid body guitars i've seen to date. outstanding designs. a pity this video got a mere 17k views. i enjoyed watching it again a year later. amazingly clean playing mate!
That opening riff was so greasy and smooth. Guitars today are so original looking. Manufacturers today, that are worth anything, come up with some cool, original designs. Such a great time to be into guitars, and as far as price, there are things to collect and enjoy that are way more expensive than guitars. You get so much for your money these days.
They both sound fantastic--but I credit the vast majority of that to your playing, Ross. I Love the look of that Brighton. You never cease to impress. Stay Well.
Ive played the Low $$ versions n the Brighton is just FANTASTIC period No harshness from pickups, played thru a Garnet Session man twin killer, ab stupid good!
Christ, that Brighton model is an absolute piece of art. While I'm completely the opposite of you and love getting access to single coils, I can respect our difference of opinion there. Loved your playing in this man, if you felt inclined to rehome that Brighton let me know, there's a loving home for it here in the UK.
Thank you for this review. Both are beautiful looking guitars. But I can afford one only. Which of the two has less neck diving issues in your experience. Cheers!
I had a hard time understanding what color you said for the Brighton finish. It obviously looks reddish /sparkly of some sort. I couldn't locate it since it's discontinued. Was this out in 2020?
I've played both models, and I find that the Deluxe Brighton has much brighter tones, (esp in the upper register) vs the Deluxe Atlantic, which I felt had duller tone. I don't want to say muddy as that is too strong a term, but if I said darker, than that would be to weak a term so perhaps somewhere btw those two ideas. For Korean guitar's these model's are pretty good. IMO I feel like the Premiere series are worth around 600 US $$$ and the Deluxe is worth around 1000 US $$$. They sell em for 300$$$ more than that. One man's opinion... AS an interesting aside. When I played the Brighton D. It had D'angelico strings on it (light wound jazz which have a wound G string, vs the deluxe atlantic which had regular d'addario strings, so maybe that had something to do with it. IDK.
Very nice bit of Led Zepp... love the matte wine Atlantic and Brighton... If I come across one (now that they are no longer stocked) and I have money in my pocket I'll snap one up. Thanks for the review
Not sure about this guitar specifically, but I have a Yamaha Revstar with the matte/steel wool finish and after a year there is no wear or blemishes, can see finger marks of your hands are greasy or dirty but that's it. Just seen a brighton on person today and the finish doesn't look that different
what amp are u using here? Also, i see the finger board radius is higher than in strats...is it easy to play hendrix like chords with thumb over ? THANKS FOR THE VID!
I didn't know that they had a double cut version tbh. I really like the double cut and man that matte red is pretty amazing imo. There is like a different shade depending on the light and it looks great. Rose gold looks pretty nice too but im partial to that red
Does anyone know what the exact neck specs are on these? I'm interested in the thickness at the 1st and 12th fret. Also I was wondering if the pickguards can be taken off. I assume they can because it looks like they're rear- routed.
@@emrage78 Regarding the Brighton and the Atlantic, there's really noticeably worse neck dive with the Brighton? You've had a chance to play both the Brighton & Atlantic?
@@dustinglass Yes, I tried both. The difference is in the body shape and the position of the neck side strap button. Look closely at both guitars: The strap button is at the 19th fret at the Brighton, and between 16th and 17th fret at the Atlantic model. That is why the Atlantic is better balanced.
Great review Ross. I am deliberating between ordering the Brighton and the Eastman Romeo (which you also reviewed). Can you please compare the tonal differences and playability of the two. Which do you prefer?
Eastman Romeo is at another level and price point. If you have the budget, I will take the Romeo at the drop off a hat. These pickups are made overseas with Seymour Duncan design and specs as agreed upon. They are not the same Seth Lovers you get from their website. I am sure they are almost as good. Romeo has original Lollars. Eastman Seymour Duncan are also original. In the end if you can play like Ross, all you need is a broomstick. 😀😀
Fantastic playing. Oh man, I was about to drop about £1100 on a Deluxe Bedford, but you've tempted me with these LEs. Any idea how easy they are going to be to source in the UK? especially now?
By the way - totally agree re/ the tuning on the Premier DC - Got a stoptail Ocean Turquoise one, and the tuning stability was much better than I was expecting. Actually the whole guitar is more robust that I was expecting (it was my first Semi Hollow guitar).
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Cheers man, yes - just seen the Matte Wine one on there.... decisions decisions..... should I be sensible and hold on to my cash, not knowing what the next couple of months will hold in store - or just succumb to GAS?
11 to 48?!! Christ, you must have hydraulic fingers, son. Ha ha ha. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cool video. I like that contoured heal. Our industry is pretty much on its back right now with this virus shit going on. My business just lost 12 months work. But keeping positive. 🙂 So after we recover and it's all over I'll take a look at buying one. I think I like the rose gold one. Stay safe, pal. It's a crazy time. 😉
Not too bad. Our lockdown rules are pretty sensible and it seems like most of the population are abiding by them. Panic buying has pretty much stopped so the shops are well stocked once again.
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Were still on a shelter in place here in elk grove, ca. supposed to wear masks when we go out. Toilet paper(TP) still out mostly and paper towels (PT) from the shelves. Panic buying has slowed for most other things. Eggs was a big one too here. Stores still have an early close time and some restaurants only do take out. Some stores only allow certain amount of people in at a time. Traffic has been nice though.

That intro is full 🔥 man!
Oh, and, by the way, the licks you had right after talking about Tele like twanginess were insanely inspiring !
Thanks!

absolutely gorgeous guitars, and excellent phrasing. well done!
Pffff, that Brighton is gorgeous!! And awesome playing as always!

Haha thanks Phil! These are not mine to keep though, they were sent to me for demo purposes.
Loved the Since I've Been Lovin' You licks...
The lighting in your video made these Guitars look great!
I keep coming back for the since I’ve been loving you cover😂
You can tell that this guy is actually totally blown away by these guitars..Totally!
Great video. Great playing ! Thanks !
Thank you for this review. Both are beautiful looking guitars. But I can afford one only. Which of the two has less neck diving issues in your experience. Cheers!
Excellent review. I’ve really been taken by these dangelicos they’ve brought something fresh to a very same design market
Beautiful guitars here my man! Great showcase and awesome playing!
Thank you!
@@RossCampbellGuitarist You are very welcome!
I'd like to know what amp or preamp you use to get this great sound ? or maybe both together , thanks.
The paint jobs are stunning. Very attractive guitars, indeed. And love your playing as usual.
Thanks Glenn!

I have a Premier DC, I installed humbucker sized P90s in it and it just sparkles!
Your playing sounds dreamy dude!!! You made want to pick up and play when I watched it, thank you
That makes me happy to hear, thank you!

Great review!
Agree about the coil splits. I don’t care for them. Also, Seth Lover is the sweetest Humbucker ,why would you want change it ?
Very good and detailed review with pros and cons
do you still keep the Brighton?
that matte whine is something else. My GOD.
5* playing
Hello everyone, does anybody know how the guitar looks without pickguard? What kind of routing there is. Thank you!
Great video.
The 14 inch radius made me run to the corner of the room and hide there until the GAS was over. That sound, look and level of finish tho!
which amp are you using?
Thank you for the great review! Are the seth lover pickups wax potted?
L S they’re not
Very nice bit of Led Zepp... love the matte wine Atlantic and Brighton... If I come across one (now that they are no longer stocked) and I have money in my pocket I'll snap one up. Thanks for the review
I'm not sure about the matte finish yet. How durable is it or are you going to see blemishes on the surface? Great video thank you.
Not sure about this guitar specifically, but I have a Yamaha Revstar with the matte/steel wool finish and after a year there is no wear or blemishes, can see finger marks of your hands are greasy or dirty but that's it. Just seen a brighton on person today and the finish doesn't look that different
is there much difference between a brighton and atlantic? The specs seems the same, except the body shape
atlantic has more low and the brighton has high range stressed that's why brighton is named following its character I guess?
Different wood for the body (swamp ash and basswood)
Very inspired and inspiring playing Ross!
Thanks Stephen!
what amp are u using here? Also, i see the finger board radius is higher than in strats...is it easy to play hendrix like chords with thumb over ? THANKS FOR THE VID!
Wow such an amazing guitars🤩
Love that wine finish
I didn't know that they had a double cut version tbh. I really like the double cut and man that matte red is pretty amazing imo. There is like a different shade depending on the light and it looks great. Rose gold looks pretty nice too but im partial to that red
It's a separate model, not a variation.

Beatiful colours
great playing as always Ross
Thank you!
Those looks amazing!
My Idol😍
Does he mention the Amp / Software he's using ?
I'm looking at picking up a D'angelico with gold hardware but I'm a little worried about it. Will the gold look bad after heavy use?
Great thought. Its very hard to clean up once it starts to change. Mine are 2 years old, definitely dont look "new" and shiny anymore.
Hello, It is said that the neck of Brighton model dives. According to your experience, what do you think about? Thanks
I can tell you Brighton dives more than the Atlantic because of the different body shape. I couldn't play with the Brighton while standing
@@emrage78 thanks

Thebfret board is ebony yeah that's a great wood🤔
Look great, sound fantastic but try selling one second hand -might be a struggle?
I'm curious, why do you think that?
They absolutely are. Ive had a few and the only guitars that I had to SIGNIFICANTLY lose money on. I loved mine, but was ready for an upgrade.
Are made in korea?
Too bad about that pick guard. Should have only a bottom pick guard to show more wood. A les paul style pick guard would have made this hot.
11 to 48?!! Christ, you must have hydraulic fingers, son. Ha ha ha. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

thought it was a giveaway...really need a new guitar:(
