D'Angelico Premier DC - Champagne with Stopbar Tailpiece Review

Found the one for me

I have a collection of guitars and wanted a nice semi-hollow body electric that was within my budget. I researched immensely and discovered this one fits the bill. It is quite beautiful from top to bottom, and the Champagne color is a shade of white with some sparkle flakes deep in the color (but not too loud). The neck is great and appears to have been set up in advance by a… read more pro at Sweetwater before shipping because I didn't need to do anything other than let it acclimate to the weather after shipping. Speaking of shipping, is was carefully packed in a carton inside a heavy duty shipping box with packing to restrain any movement. The pickups sound great and I can distinctly tell the different between the neck and bridge tones, which is not always so clear on my other guitars unless I have an amp driving the tone. The size is just right, probably a little thinner and small than an Ibanez 335 copy or genuine Gibson. And I like that even better. The headstock is somewhat radical but attractive. Some people like it, others hate it. I think it's fine. The only dent I can give it is the tuners. Not a big concern but are large and feel a little strange, and I have had to tune it prior to each session. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone playing a variety of music from jazz to country and classic rock. Maybe not metal but I wouldn't know about that.
