Would you guys ever rock a guitar like this?
Enjoy the demo!
I think it looks really good, its so unique that i'd definately rock one
Hi Darrell. Have you got my reply about the future guitar give away for overseas? This is the best guitar ever. Great job man! Anyone can buy that........but me a few years time.
Yes
Just looking at it and hearing it I'd say hell yeah. I love this guitar even though I'm a strat guy generally.
Without a doubt
This guitar embodies so many different aspects of so many different great guitars. A true all in one sort of deal!
D'angelico has always imo been killing it in appearance the quality has seemed good from what I can tell too.
Does anyone know what video is this form 0:15 I’m trying to find it, I just enjoy Darrell being goofy that’s all 😳
I’ve got a 335 style Dangelico In black. It competes with my fender American pro 2 as my favorite guitar! The quality is definitely on par with fender and Gibson. I plans to get another dangelico soon.
Yeah she's a beauty
Really cool! What I love about about D'Angelico is how unique some of their designs are, and not just clone copies of other guitar brands.
Let's be honest. They have one pretty geniune guitar design, and the others are semi/hollow body guitars that clone popular models such as gibson es 175/339.
That doesn't mean they sound bad tho, I'd totally rock one.
@@lowkeyd34d63 I dunno man they have a lot of unique guitars outside of those hollowbodys. Edit: looks like they have discontinued a lot of body styles.
@@lowkeyd34d63 Oh for sure!
@@danielbuhr4260 I think that the ludlow is one of their more unique designs.
What I love about it is how it isn't copying any other guitar out there, but it's also not your typical shredding guitar that you often see from companies who make their own guitar designs. And with all of this, it doesn't look ugly either! What they did is make something unique that almost looks like something Fender would make but better, and that's how you know it's good. And on top of it being gorgeous, it sounds phenomenal
Exactly!
I also want alternative designs for non-shredding non-humbucker pickup guitars..
Most companies just copy existing designs under the name of "vintage" or "traditional"
I have a brighton and its looks fool you. Its shred capacity is through the roof thanks to the 14" radius and that heel joint giving you all access. They make killer instruments.
It does remind me a bit of a rickenbacker, but far from a copy
@@leinadatidumarp look into reverend guitars
Fender sixty six
The headstocks on the D'Angelico are simply a work of art 😍
I totally agree .
@@stephenhensley5631 not entirely sure how they would stand up to being dropped but hey, beauty has a price 🤷🏻♂️
I actually hate them. 🤷🏻♂️
I didn’t like them much at first, but they’re growing on me.
I do like their headstock, but not on this new offset body design. Doesn't fit in my opinion.
I love these unique looking guitars, such a nice change of pace over the tired single cut and les paul shapes
Now that I’ve actually watched the video. That thing is a music monster.
The more I look at it the more I like it.
Sounds good, don't care much for the looks though, like the color though, it would probably have to grow on me😁
I do think it's good.
One of the brands that shines among Instagram players, besides Ibanez talman guitars ofc.
My local music store had one of these, and I was gutted when I walked in one day to find it had been sold. It was a joy to play.
@Jackie Apreil My store had it for about $2400 AUD. Aus exchange rate plus import taxes and GST means we pay a little more for gear over here.
@@drewg.4487 Not bad for a really high-end boutique guitar. As soon as I noticed the multi-ply binding on the neck I realized we were looking at something special.
@Jackie Apreil here in the USA they seem to have them listed at around $1400.00
Really getting some Boston vibes from the Bridge pickup with that Marshall. It’s got this very Tom Schultz-sounding midrange peak in it.
This guitar and that marshall scream together mate, definitely some magic
That bridge through the Marshall sounds FANTASTIC!!
Super Boston-like tones are dig it too
I love your channel so much for showcasing all the unusual stuff!
Tank you , you are the only person I’ve seen giving Bedford some love. .
I think that neck joint is superb and the finish on the back of the neck is probably my ideal.
I have recently been trying to re-stock my collection of tones. One of my wish list items was "something with mini-humbuckers". My very first electric was a 1966 Epiphone Wilshire with minis, and I just loved it. Well, I was in Guitar Center, and they had a few of the new 2022 model of the D'Angelico Premier Bedford SH. Made in Indonesia (I see that one was made in Korea), the mini has a different cover, slightly Rickenbacker or Gretsch-like. It also has a tremolo system. A super-versatile guitar with super-simple controls and great sounds. I absolutely love it. The quality of parts and workmanship is very good, neck is wonderful. Mine is Fiesta Red, and her name is Angie. I'm very happy to have her in my tone arsenal. There's songs in there!
That first clean part after the crunch was really cool.
Yes it was😉
I remember wandering into their former location in Red Bank, NJ some years back. It was a colorful experience. The "caretaker" of the shop didn't so much try to sell my cousin and I a guitar. More of a history lesson where D'Angelico guitars were art pieces over musical instruments. I believe they had a few old school D'Angelico guitars behind glass, but the rest of their stock was all the modern import fare. They were absolutely well crafted import guitars. That store has long since disappeared, but I'm glad to see the brand is experiencing a resurgence through more creative takes on vintage looks.
Beautiful guitar! I’m really learning how to do sponsored videos the right way by watching these. Thanks for setting a high bar! 🤓🤘🏻🎸
OMG... I was getting those 80's vibes from that delicious crunch at the beginning.
That mini HB!?
Stays crunchy even in milk!
D'Angelico makes cool and funky guitars.
Nice...Real nice.
Just bought one of these cant wait to play it
This guitar is absolutely beautiful, possible one of the best guitars I've ever seen!
I didn't expect those kinds of overdriven tones from it, delightfully surprised!
thats one of the best sounding guitars I've heard wow
I have one in Matte Charcoal as a limited run. Its freakin incredible.
Looks practical, stylish and different. Unusual to have metal covered Strat pickups.
Actually, it looks like tipical tele neck pickups.
@@JaOzrenRadovanovic yes
Having held one of these I’m pretty sure they are tele sized.
Having both this guitar and Strats, these are definitely different. They're thinner.
I see a love Child between two lovely families. The lipstick pu''s from my all time fave - the Telecaster. With the Les Paul'ish mini humbucker it has a touch og a classic yet futuristic Gibson/early Epiphone. Incredible look with the bit of assymetric body - a touch from an early Quest (Matsumoko) Well, I'm so overwhelmed, that I just can't find the words.....I'm from Denmark (66 y.o.), and Darrell......I think you just presented me for my last guitar. Great review
Thanks for the review Darrell, I ordered it, should be here next week in surf green, very excited. Greetings from Bavaria Michael
Whew! What's not to like about this instrument? It looks and sounds fantastic, and I'll take your word, Darrell, that it feels good too!
Damn, that mini HB sounds defined without some of the usual humbucker woofiness. Guitar looks absolutely fantastic! Gotta check one of these out.
Black and gold is sharp. Beautiful guitar. Thanks for the review!
Just picked up the less expensive Premier version of this in Oxblood finish. I'm quite happy.
WOW THAT SOUNDS SO GOOD!
I fell in love with that guitar the minute I saw it !! Beautiful shape & color.! The f-hole is really cool. !
Darryl you can make a cricket bat strung with fencing wire sing! But I must say, what a fantastic instrument! Thanks again for you tireless work for us.
I love the descriptions used to describe tones: Creamy? Bright Sizzle?
If I didn't know better, I'd swear this guitar was the vintage inspiration for the PRS Vela (or Mira, I don't remember which has the more pronounced offset). D'angelico is really doing some cool stuff!
It looks like the PRS Vela. But the Vela doesn't have single coils and only has neck and bridge pickups. The other difference is the PRS is a solid body while this is a semi hollow.
@@dsmiley1971 that's right... I was looking mostly at overall body shape
@@dsmiley1971 Bela does come semi-hollow actually, don’t honk there are 3 pickup options
That guitar rocks harder than it has any right to... Sounds great through the Marshall. I like the quirky look, too.... and 14" radius in that style of guitar? Unusual. I'd gig with it, for sure.
That guitar has the best tones that I've heard in a long time. And the body is a breath of fresh air as it does not copy the same old strat, tele, and Les Paul bodystyles that every guitar company produces. However, like all 3 + 3 tuning gear headstocks,....you can clearly hear it go out of tune just like a Gibson SG. For a Korean-made instrument, I was very impressed with the quality control for this guitar.
Cool guitar! Great tones!
Can’t decide between desert gold or ox blood red on this guitar. Both are quite beautiful.
I bought a D'Angelico Bob Weir signature guitar based on Darrell's review. It's an amazing guitar and I love it. Now I'm tempted again. This guitar looks and sounds amazing.
I bought it through Musician's Friend. Very well made guitar as Darrell is describing. Fit and finish was great. Playability great. The Deluxe at $1500 wasn't for me. The single coil were nice but not special. The mini didn't sound near as good as what's being played here. Darrell either has magic fingers or a better sound system (or both). I sent it back because of the pickups. I couldn't justify new pickups for a guitar that was $1500.00. I called D Angelico to see if I could do something in the setup to improve the bridge tone. I was told the 'tone' is unique and isn't for everyone. They were right, because the tone wasn't for me in the bridge. To my surprise and delight I played the Bedford "PREMIER" semi hollow at Guitar Center. The cost is $799.00. Maybe the price helped the tone? ;-). It sounded equal or better. The single coils were more shimmy and had a really good percussive tone when played together. I bought it! Pickups sounded fine and 'for that price new pickups down the road, isn't a problem. Bottom line is check out the premier before paying extra for the deluxe.
I have the Premier also. The pickups are the same design, but made in Korea. I actually like them better also. It seems like for the Deluxe, you're paying for the Duncan name, along with the three piece neck, locking tuners, split block inlays, and different colors.
How bout some godin reviews? I have been chasing some of them for a while
You won’t be disappointed with any model Godin. Tried a few, bought a Radiator. Awesome guitar, great price, made in Canada 🇨🇦
@@dabsafe How are the Godin necks? I really like their S style take and I have a hard time finding Fender necks comfortable so I’m considering going Godin
Darrell, I just discovered that you are aligning yourself with one J.S. Bach!
SUBSCRIBED‼️
You are really doing interesting, fun content after all this time, great job big D!
It's a work of art. Makes a LP look like a tire.
I like tires. Makes the world go round
@@TechsHelpingHand that n fat bottom girls
LP's are a Masterpiece, are you blind/deaf? Not to mention the other senses!
This is nice aswell...tho, not without its' flaws.
@@lueysixty-six7300 LPs definitely are what you say! I love mine,its never let me down...I guess as long as I treat her right, which I think a lot of people (just don't know how)
@@derrickharmon7980 yepperrs, I like em both😍
Great sounding pickups! 🎸
Thank you for sharing! Nice work on audio, video and content. one day I would like to hear clean sound without reverb, delay and comp. Etc...
Sorry, had to pause the video; I needed to buy one
I'm back now
That's like the perfect placement of pickup selector for me. Won't get in the way when strumming hard but still easy to access using edge of the palm.
Bob Weir of the Dead has been using a custom version of their guitars for a few years now. Seems like everyone who tries one likes them. I still have yet to try one, interested.
That is a sexy looking and sounding guitar! The pick guard shape is beautiful. As always your video production is superb Darrell. Cheers!!
Love guitars that have very different tones and shapes. Not the same ole thing!
Wow! You’ve sold me on this one for sure!
Really lovely sounds !
My kind of guitar.
Really super juicy tones, very nice, I wouldn't say no to one.
Wow that is one awesome guitar, all things coming together perfectly! All chromed Mini and SCs with no pole pieces nice design choice. Does have Matte Walnut (and with Trem) for those who want wood grain. Marshall amp sounds great too!
What's not to like? Thanks for the great review Darrell
Damn, I was looking at this guitar on sweatwater yesterday. It's like you are plugged into my google history. The only difference is that I would not even use it for high gain at all. Mainly for jazz and neo soul. Definitely a beasts and it sounds great.
Agreed. Totally seemed weird and out of place to hear high gain metal type licks from this type of guitar. Actually fast forwarded the vid to hear some clean tones.
@@njemark8391 id love to hear some deep blues on it!
That... actually sounds pretty awesome!
That thing looks stunning and totally different. Fabulous tones and appears to be built very well. Can't go wrong with a guitar that the F hole looks like it's smiling 🙂 God bless and rock on 😎👍🎸
FINALLY A GUITAR WITH ITS OWN PERSONALITY AND LOOKS. AND IT'S NOT A COMPLETE COPY OF A FENDER OR GIBSON I WATCH THE VIDEO BECAUSE I FINALLY GOT TO SEE A GUITAR NOT A COPY LOVE THE GUITAR.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Love the sound. That heel joint is spectacular! The I hate almost every other part of the aesthetics! The huge F hole looks phallic, the rest looks like fender, Danelectro, and music man all had a say in body shape.
At 1st glance .. I'd buy this !
Pretty solid , and a looker, too ;)
Above par video & presentation, as usual, Darrell.
Thank you for this.
PS: now I'm gonna find out for how much it sells.
It's so weird, I want one!
I just cant get away from the fact that it looks absolutely stunning
'Been Jonesin' on their Mini DC. This one is a little too "Josie and the Pussycats" for me. Probably plays like a dream tho. Like that it's light. A big consideration for someone with a bad back, like me.
The guitar is awesome and it satisfies my need for a punchy single-coil and the bridge humbucker is just sick. The only problem is the contour feels like designed for really tall people and it slips down my leg
The mini humbucker sounds particularly good in clean, very emotional
Although I eventually bought a second hand player tele for its simplicity and classic tones, I definitely believe people can make great music with it if they know what they want
Wow... I LOVE it.... looks gorgeous and sounds fantastic
I agree - really cool design. Heel joint, f-hole, pick guard all look great, and the sound from those Duncans is killer. That said, I'm not a fan of gold on guitars, either in hardware or paint jobs. I can't afford it anyway, but if I could, I might go with the matte-finish walnut version. I'd rather have black, but it comes with gold hardware, a deal-breaker for me.
my Gretsch is a semi hollow with a p50 at the neck and a humbucker at the bridge.....Bigsby at the end. The feedback makes some sick sounds.
....I know, not the same setup but it has similarities and I love it. 👍
Beautiful Dan gelico.
My wife wants one of these, perfect timing for a demo/review.
D Angelico Guitars Have Some Aquatic Design Body
These are a well thought out design. Love the pickups he's showing here . Very versatile and affordable price. I can see adding this to my arsenal.
Bridge reminds me of a Gibson Firebird, & then you also get the “Stratty” tones. Very versatile.
I have a Michael Kelly 1955 custom collection that has a rear humbucker and a neck mini-bucker with both splittable and a 3-way switch.
I often get lost playing with all the controls instead of practicing with it.
Nice guitar. Could you include a Tone range in your review? Show how much the Tone will swell next time?
I love D'angelico guitars.
BTW, are those single could noiseless?
ALWAYS GREAT VIDS....Thanks again.
Could you review some of Yamaha’s more high end guitars? I’d like to see someone within the guitar TH-cam community talk about their line of -not just the Pacifica 012. Anyway, Great stuff as always!
Lovely guitar! Great soft video to watch while eating a breakfast
Darrel Please review this year's Squier Contemporary and Music Man Cutlass CT 50.
That neck pickup sounds exactly like my tele (also SD pup equipped). Aaaand i love that sound.
Overall great pickups combo. Less straty maybe, but cool
Grat looking guitar.
Sounds pretty good too with thos Seymour Duncans.
But you haven’t shown the wiring or the pots & condensators. Are they any good?
I hate to be picky, but that bridge pickup is not a mini humbucker. It is a firebird pickup. Two completely different pickups. Google it if you think im wrong
You're wrong.
It’s not a firebird pickup. Everyone knows from 10ft that’s a Trans Am model.
Cool axe, great review! Thanks
YES!! WOW, great tones. Love the mini...but the neck ..but I'm a ' bucker guy ...but the neck.....
This guitar sounded great so I went to D'Angelico to see the other colours of the guitar and it wasn't bloody listed, they only had the Premier version - had to use your Sweetwater link to see the proper version!!! Anyway found a price in Australian dollars eventually and it's a bit out of my price range - damn.
I had a feeling you would do a review on this model..... Thanks!
That is my style all the way, I'm very interested, I love min hums and single coil in the neck. Great combo.
Good one. Looks as Beck would use it for something Page-like. Or it would went to Foo Fighters. Good one.
The neck PU is very chimey for a mini HB I suspect it is a Firebird. Firebirds do not use pole pieces as there is a magnet inside each coil laying on it's edge where the HB has one magnet laying flat across the bottom of the 2 coils.
All three pickups are Seymour Duncan. I don't know the model numbers off hand, but if you look up the guitar on Guitar Center, they're listed.
@@robertlawrence2609 I looked it up. It is a Firebird PU
That heel joint wins it for me! Makes it sound so resonant....and would feel infinitely better than a steel square (I'm looking at you Fender!)
What’s a heel joint?
Beautiful Guitar
Very cool guitar. I like the combination of pickups. The neck fit and finish looked amazing! What radius is it (neck)? Compound? Sound is exquisite.
Very cool. Now they even got some Premier models, which clock in at half ... for a few less amenities, and I presume not "Made in Korea".
The Premier is made in Indonesia. The pickups are the same design but made in Korea. All around same quality to me. I played the Deluxe, but bought the Premier. I don't see a $700 difference.
How are the frets and how is the neck compared to like an Ibanez RG? I really love superslim necks and huge frets, but would like something else then "just another superstrat". This guitar sounds and looks at least very nice.
