Very nice playing on The Very Thought of You! Thank you so very much D'Angelico for making such beautiful great guitars that are affordable. It's just unbelievable.
Late to the party here. Mark's playing is excellent. Wonderfully soulful! The D'Angelicos are stunning in looks & tone. Saving up my coins! I write, record & playing original Americana music (for lack of a better term.) But, I can easily hear the nomenclature of lyrics & music being "spoken" on this guitar. Great demo, folks! Thank you!
@@AdrianWhyte Very nice actually. Acoustically, it's nothing to write home about. I'm used to my Martin HD-28 steel string and Ramirez 4NE classical, and of course nothing in the jazz box range is going to sound anything like them. But I'm experimenting electrically with a Fishman acoustic amp and other amps/effects and I can say that this is a good instrument. Hoping that it opens up tonally over time but I consider it a grea addition to my collection.
nice demo ! sounds with pick and with thumb are great , Mr Whitfield knows how to swing this beauty. If i'm lucky I can play one (throwback VN with cutaway) in a few weeks , but seems like it's not easy to find those exl-1 in Europe nowadays. :)
Hello.man I'd love to learn those sweet licks so so so sweet to my ear love to hear you play that guitar has a well balanced sound.its also a beautiful guitar.peace
So I got mine guitar and there is a very think piece of foam/tissue stuff between the bridge and the top. I presume it is there to protect the finish. But won’t it interfere with transmitting the sound to the top? I presume it is a floating bridge so if I slacken the strings to remove that piece of padding the bridge will move and I will lose my intonation which currently seems very good. How do I get that thing out?
Hi there! That piece of foam you're describing is there to protect the guitar from any scratches during shipping. Detuning your strings enough to slacken the strings may be your best option.
The standard Excel Style B has the more classic D'Angelico headstock shape! See link: dangelicoguitars.com/guitars/excel-series/excel-style-b/#DAESTYBSBKGT This is actually the Scroll Style Headstock which John D'Angelico used throughout his career, more notably in the later 50s and early 60s era. But you can see em on earlier ones from the 40s too!
When he played the "bloopy doo bop, doo bop bop bloopy doop" - I felt that

That thumb picking at the end fit this guitar perfectly.
Mark you are incredible!!! Also the guitar is !!
Very nice. I've got one of these on the way. Can't wait to play it.
How is it?

Killer player. One of my favorites. Interesting he played the non cutaway version.
From Leo: Beautiful Instrument, talented player. Thank you
What a great guitar player👍
Really inspiring demo-thanks! The cutaway version is on my wish list.
Amazing guitarist!
Gorgeous guitar
☑ I love both styles _very cool ‼️😎
nice demo !

Is it equipped with 13's on this video? Sounds huge!
I've been looking for that tone .That's my thought on what a jazz box should sound like and I want one.What amp are you using.
Nice just wow and nice
Has it got a good unplugged voice? Or is it more of an electric?
Yes, it has a great acoustic sound as well! But definitely best utilized when amplified.
amazing guitar!!!
Love this axe and Mark's playing. May I ask what this instrument is strung with? What comes as the standard strings on the guitar?
Strung with D'Angelico Electrozinc Jazz 12s :)
Do you really miss the cut away in terms of access? Is there a noticeable difference in sound between this and the cutaway?
The two are very comparable in sound. We have a Throwback focused video on our channel that shows off the sound of both versions quite nicely.
@@DAngelicoNY damn you, had to buy one. Oh well it's only money. Can't wait till it arrives.

Quel ampli pour un son aussi superbe et naturel ?

@@DAngelicoNY so it is meant to be removed?
is it the sticker "style b" from the pick guard removable?
Nope !
Is this one a 'made in Korea'?
Sweet..
nice
🔥🔥🔥
Superbe
Has a gretsch style to it from the 30s
RIP Bucky
Too bad it doesnt have the split headstock, one of the most distintive features of this brand.

Fast, but not clean..... Mark.
