I have the gramercy body shape. It's awesome for the money. I needed something to abuse camping and traveling. Didn't wanna drag my tayor, tak, or fender everywhere and risk damage. It's so much guitar for the money. It has its quirks though. The tuning posts are really short and stubby. Makes it hard to get a pretty wrap when changing strings. The little metal bit at the top of the headstock is ever so slightly off center on mine as well. But again I didn't buy it as a show piece, I bought it to play in less than ideal environments
Bruh.... I live near Sweetwater and then you abandoned ship for your baby. I'm a definite subscriber. I'm looking for a cheap end electric accustic. So ty for your reviews.
I have one of these with the aged looking top and I have to say it's beyond awesome. I put 10 gauge strings on it and it stays in tune remarkably well. It sounds great plugged in , especially for being an all laminate. I run it straight through a Fishman Mini Loudbox and it sounds great. Good review brother.
Bought that exact same guitar today for $240 at a pawn shop. I had been looking for one and by chance found one for the first time. Grabbed it immediately without even testing it. I looked for scratches and dings of course but didn't even strum it. I just bought it. Good as gold
Just bought the aged mahogany, Lexington (dreadnought) version of this guitar. Having spent the last 7 years in Nashville and played guitars ranging from $300-$2000... it's really out of it's league for the price. Mahogany body sounds beautiful, it's easy to play, and sounds great plugged in. My new go-to for my regular gigs.
@@tonykeman I don’t recommend that as every single guitar is different. I bought my $1500 Takamine from a dealer without being able to play it bc it had such good reviews… and that guitar sounded awful. Go find one in a store and play it.
I have one of these and a PRS electric. I go to Guitar center every month looking to replace or upgrade but just can't find one that I like the sound and feel as much. After 5 years I still love it!!
I bought a DAngelico acoustic electric guitar yesterday. While I was at guitar center I played a $1500 Martin and the sound didn’t come close to the DAngelico. Higher priced is not always better.
"The bridge can come off" - "It scares me" - "It's happened to me a few times before" - "But hey, you can buy three of them, it's so cheap"... Is he on high? What is he talking about? He scares me...
No I’m not on high. But I am being honest about my observation. And so far this guitar has not broken at all and I’ve used it on many gigs and it has been super reliable. I was nervous that it could have those problems. And it IS so cheap that I’m willing to take the risk. It’s an amazing guitar for this price. But it’s still a lower end model. Worth considering depending on what level of playing you need to do with it!
@@konjunto2477 You've misunderstood my comment. It's a citation from the video. I have never seen the bridge coming off the guitar, even off those cheap ones. This is utterly unlikely to happen.
Hi I just bought the 12 string. Being all mahogany top Guitar it has a really nice midrange that makes every string sing. I have had a couple top end Guild’s that did not have the tone this has. Maybe I am finding that mahogany is a great wood for a 12 String. One question to anyone. There is a truss rod cover on the headstock. Is there a truss adjuster under that cover. Because it looks like there is a truss rod adjustment in the sound hole. I just got it two days ago, and I was trying to make some adjustments on the one from the sound hole. I’m not being lazy I’m just at the place where those small screws could drop and I never find them so if anyone can answer my question, please do.
6:28-7:07 is firrrrre I'm gonna try and mimic what you played but is there a tutorial to that somewhere? I have the same guitar and I agree it sounds great
This is a great video, thanks for making it, and making my decision even harder..... I am tossed between the D'Angelico Bowery Mahogany and the Takamine Mahogany. Do you have any pearls of wisdom to offer?
I saw this guitar on the new netflix christmas movie with the guy from american pie and i was like what brand is this and i ebay searched it..i was thinking 800 up..anyways i just ordered another taylor acoustic haha this is my next purchase.
This is such a warm guitar. I dig it. And that satin finish. So you took the review to the next level once you tuned it to Drop D. I agree about the bridge posts. It would be nice to have a drilled and glued stud for an enhanced bridge rather than just straight glue. Thanks for the review. Now I can't decide between that and a Washburn Bella Tono Vite S9V. Have you ever played the: $279 on Sweetwater, Washburn 6 String Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Right (BTS9VCECH-D)? Thanks
Hey! No! Let me clarify. I was saying that before it was sent, I was worried that it would sound bad, so I ordered the “louder” one. If it was bad sounding but loud it would be better than sound bad and quiet.
I’m in search for a new gigable guitar with a good pickup system . I’m between this one , the fgx820c and the guild d240e … any thoughts , any other recommendations? My budget is up to 500 euros … Veey nice and honest review btw
@@jimmyfranklin thanks for the reply … I just happened to come across this guitar and that it gets even more premium at that price makes it look like a great choice .
I'm a big fan of hogtops and I do like the look of this one but... I have to admit, it sounds a bit thin to me, even for an all laminate construction. It may just be how UA-cam compressed the audio but, it sounds pretty 2 dimensional and flat to my ears compared to the bold, warm tones of my Sigma DMC-15E or Takamine EF-349. Not too sure about this one
I have a question for you and I hope you see this soon. I have a 10 yo daughter who has been taking guitar lessons at school using a borrowed guitar. We want to get her a guitar for Christmas but also don't want to break the bank. Would you recommend D'Angelico or the Yamaha FX335C? Obviously we would like the best sound and durability. Also what electric acoustic guitar would you suggest that's under $300? Thank you in advance for any help you can give. We are excited to buy her very first guitar that she will make many memories with.
Hey! This is amazing! I’m so excited for her. Both this and the Yamaha are under $300 and both are wonderful options. If you just randomly picked one between those two you’d have a wonderful guitar either way. The only major differences are that the dangelico is “prettier” and the Yamaha has a very slight advantage in build quality. But it’s so slight it’s maybe unnoticeable to someone who doesn’t play. I’d probably go with the Yamaha since she is ten and will probably bang it around a little bit at first!
This looks/sounds great! Is it 3/4 size? I’m just starting out & on the look out for a 3/4 (ideally electro) size acoustic…any recommendations would be very much appreciated. 🙌🎶
I saw it does’nt have a solid top, but laminated mahogany. Is that a big downside or not worth mentioning for a guitar in this price range? I’m thinking about getting this guitar, but not sure of I should look for a guitar with a solid top. I’m past beginners point, more of a cozy campfire guitarist. What would you recommend? Ps great review!!
Thank you so much!! So… the next level up of this is like a $500 guitar. If you aren’t the beginner stage I truly recommend that or up. On friend of mine bought the 1200 dollar version and they don’t ever want another acoustic and a student of mine has the 500 range guitar and it feels so much better than this. And I REALLY like this one.
Hey if your looking for great cheep acoustic guitar. That plays like a Electric. Check out Yamaha APX 600. I have one and plays great. Plus I bought it at Sweetwater.
I just ordered this guitar through Sweetwater today! 48 month no interest on their card through the end of the month. The guy I'm learning from has a Martin mahagony dreadnought style and I love it. I found this one as a budget version for me.
For $300 it sounds great through my headphones and looks good too. I like the satin finish. A bit of eq and reverb through a PA and that could be a no brainer. The actions seems to be good in the upper fretboard too. Great video/review. Keep 'em coming. \m/
So here’s the deal. This was a sponsored video. Not by the company, by sweetwater. And I wasn’t paid with money I was just given the guitar to review for free. So I have no reason to say anything I don’t want to. And the reason for the great review is because of the price point of this guitar. It’s 200 dollars and to me that’s insane quality. Thank you for saying this was a great review. I appreciate you watching this and commenting but just felt the need to clarify that one thing! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Good guitars only use glue to secure the bridge to the soundboard. You'll never see a quality instrument with screws drilled in outside of old Gibson's, and those weren't great

Dakota what about Guild d260ce?
I m that close between dAngelico and Guild!
@@tonykeman I’ve personally never played a Guild that I liked… but I play this D’Angelico 3-4x weekly at my gigs and it’s my fav
@@lovealwayskota god it's so hard to choose when you don't have the opportunity to play them with your hands..
@@tonykeman I don’t recommend that as every single guitar is different. I bought my $1500 Takamine from a dealer without being able to play it bc it had such good reviews… and that guitar sounded awful. Go find one in a store and play it.
@@lovealwayskota but that's the problem... I live in Greece. There are sooo few models to play. There is no store with dAngelico guitars for instance
I just got this guitar for Christmas!!!!! I'm a beginner and I'm super stoked! Great review 👏 thank you!
CONGRADULSTIONS!! Merry Christmas!! how do you like it!?!?
@@jimmyfranklin loving it! I went to guitar center and purchased a strap, picks and a orange amplifier;)
@@MrSatellite2Did you continue liking the guitar?
Got one and glad see you give it a great review just getting started so for so good thank you
I enjoy it very much still! Let me know how you like it!
This guitar looks beautiful man, and for the price, wow

I did the same today and I agree
I bought a 12 string of the same model D Angelica and it plays great and I only paid 200. For it.
does it say in tune? is it loud ?

I don't have a 12 string anymore and I was looking at the D'Angelico Premier Fulton LS-12. Do you have a video review of that guitar? Thanks.
Hey Jimmy, I just found your channel. Great stuff. I actually own the 12 string version , and I love it such a great guitar.

Good guitars only use glue to secure the bridge to the soundboard. You'll never see a quality instrument with screws drilled in outside of old Gibson's, and those weren't great
Smells like shopping channel.
$249
is this made in China?
as far as iu know its made in usa
Too noisy
Too much talk
it sounds horrible to me. Out of tune perhaps.
