@@kingrobert1stin a dark pub at a gig I'll take the built in tuner on mine over digging out a phone to tune...my onboard tuner works wonderfully....I have a tuner on my pedalboard as well but the on on the guitar is so much easier to navigate than any outboard gear in my view.
I just bought one of these from Amazon. The case will be here tomorrow. Are used to have a twin nest SG but I thought it was too awkward so I sold it but I’m glad I caught your video. They are really beautiful guitars and they sound great thanks for the video. Have a great day.😄❤️ I don’t have a love stamp so here’s a couple of hearts❤️❤️😄🎸 I love playing guitar. I’ve been playing guitar since 1974. I’m 71 years old. I’ve been playing for over 50 years now reading music as a finger style guitarist. I’ve actually learned how to play some Chad Atkins pieces. I’m going to check out some beautiful Beatles songs on this one thanks for the video again. Have a great and wonderful night or day.👍👍❤️😄
I have a 6 string D'Angelico electric excel SS black / gray burst well worth the money and easy to play would recommend love the look of the 12 string will try one out here in the UK
It is a beautiful looking guitar, and it sounds pretty bloody good too. I'll be honest, I prefer the fuller sound when it was only the Mic instead of the preamp
considering how much I also love playing acoustics, I can't believe I've never owned a 12 string one. I'll be moving in a few months, so rn is not the time to buy one, but I'll consider getting this one when I'm settled
Pretty guitar but I gotta say I played one of these head to head vs a "cheaper quality" Mitchell T331TCE 12 string and the Mitchell blew it away. Superior tone and playability along w/ a lower price tag made it a no brainer on which guitar I ended up taking home.
I really like D'Angelico's style. That truss rod cover is cool, but I've seen them do a bridge up the same way and it looks fantastic. Love the 12 string, the songwriter's guitar. So, have fun and get back to work!
Hi Landon, I just purchased a Relish Trinity from Sweetwater, half price, gloss purple. I can't wait to tear it up on my new axe! swap pickups easily and try the different tones. Your video and sound on the 12 string De 'Angelico are dead-on sweet. Awesome.🤘
Some 12-string greatest hits in the mix there. I have been weighing up whether to get a 12-string next. Won't be D'Angelico though. Probably Norman or Yamaha.
Hey Landon! I own the same exact guitar but in the red burst finish. I really love the way it sounds straight out of the box. I find that the built in EQ can sometimes be a bit tricky to navigate during live situations but overall it's a nice touch! I got my 12 string setup to be a Baritone Acoustic 12 String. I took it to a local luthier who made a new saddle and nut for it and strung it up with some 13-56 gauge john pearse acoustic strings. This guitar now sounds like something that leadbelly would play!. Anyway, great video man, love to see your vids pop up in my notifications!
Hands down the best looking guitar in this price range, imo. Beautifully crafted. Sounds thin to me. Of course, I'm coming from the perspective of a Guild jumbo, tho...
This is such a silly question. I've poked sweetwater but no one would happen to know what case they sent Landon that fit would they? Or any case that works for that matter. I have been scouring the internet to try to find a case that fits and their site doesn't appear to list D'Angelico. No biggie if no reply. Just thought I'd reach out to the community! :) This is such a great review too!
Very tempted as I'm in the market for a twelve string...I thought I had it down to an Ibanez artist edition but now I'm not sure...It's a pity you can't try before you buy here in Mallorca...Thanks for sharing..
I've only once, briefly played a 12-string. The extra strings felt strange under my fingertips. I sort of lost where I was. That said, it sounded just so full and room-filling. I'm sure the feel of the extra strings would be something you'd get used to. Tuning and restringing; not so much. 🤓
Nice nice. I have 2 electric D'Angelico and 1 D'Angelico 6 string acoustic electric, all excellent. This 12 seems really nice..thanks for another fun informative vid
Maton are fantastic! I've stuck with them now for acoustic. The preamp is the best out there. Love the smaller body 808 series. They do a few 12 string models.
@@esajuhanirintamaki965 LOL, I do all of my own guitar repairs and mods. I've also had very bad experiences in having other "people" work on my guitars. And this is why I do it myself now. I would also be embarrassed to take a guitar in for a string change. HA , I've been changing strings for about 45 years LOL! ✌🤪👍🎸🎼🎵🎶
If you haven't already, one fantastic place to look to find inspiration for what a 12 string is capable of, is the work of Leo Kottke. Hey plays them with a certain belligerence towards their difficulty to play and their sonic limitations.
The black finger is probably strings....they oxidize...you should be able to see the wound string marks in your fingers if it's the strings...if not it could be fretboard needs cleaned and maybe oiled..
The thing about certified fit cases is that you don't want to buy a case that cost more than the guitar. Unless you are planning to sell the cheaper guitar in the future and upgrade to a more expensive model, in which case your guitar choices will be limited to the fit of the ⚰case🎸.
I am not affiliated with Guitar Guitar in the UK but as of July 2023 they were knocking these out for £149.00 ($190 USD, 175 Euro) so at half RRP it is even more of a bargain.
@@landonbailey thanks for the reply. I'm shopping for my first 12 string (mostly an electric player) and I don't want to make a big investment. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of going to a shop to demo them so I rely on the reviews of others. As an American living in Europe I do have access to Thomann and the Harley Benton line but I keep coming back to the D'Angelico.
my guess on the dirty fingers after playing is that someone put graphite in your nut slots for your strings, my unsolicited thoughts anyway. could also be stain on the fretboard.
I own this exact 12 string and i can tell you first hand that the tuners that come on it are 100 percent junk ! They turn a quarter turn before any pitch change. Called DeAngelico and they did nothing for me. The guitar does sound ok, its bright but there are better options out there.

Yep
I play a 12 string so much I can hardly play a 6 string anymore!
Thumbs up for pronouncing D'Angelico correctly.
I can't tell you how much people's mispronunciation of the name GETS ON MY NERVES. It's really simple!!
@mrsionsmith Yay! One other person gets irritated by this. Lol. And hi to me from two years ago.
It's cool that your channel has done well enough for a company to actually send you a free product - and a good one too. Congratulations!
Thank you!
Landon...Sweetwater chose the right person to work with. You are funny, articulate, and produce quality videos. Great job!
Thanks! 😃
Beautiful! After I buy the other 9 guitars on my list, I plan to buy a 12s. D'angelico are awesome guitars.
Go for it!
Having a tuner built into a 12 string is wonderful...my Ibanez jumbo 12 has one and it is life changing....that's a pretty one!
I've got 2 tuners my iPhone which work much better.

I have a 6 string D'Angelico electric excel SS black / gray burst well worth the money and easy to play would recommend love the look of the 12 string will try one out here in the UK
I wanted to hear more of the Wish you were here song you started to play!
It is a beautiful looking guitar, and it sounds pretty bloody good too. I'll be honest, I prefer the fuller sound when it was only the Mic instead of the preamp
I prefer the MIC sound vs plugged in, every time
Wow! Reviewing an acoustic! D'Angelico has the best looking headstock of any brand! 😍
ya I like the headstock too
considering how much I also love playing acoustics, I can't believe I've never owned a 12 string one. I'll be moving in a few months, so rn is not the time to buy one, but I'll consider getting this one when I'm settled
make a it a moving gift to yourself after the move!

Can't go wrong with a Yamaha! That's the first acoustic guitar I bought and still have
Wow! A twelve string? What a cool surprise, Landon. That seems to be a great looking and sounding guitar.
Usually not a fan of orange/brown bursts but that is a nice looking guitar
it was my fav of the 3 options

hey awesome thanks for sharing your setup! I love the unplugged room sound the most :)
Gator cases are also great value for the quality.
ya Gator stuff is solid

Rock on!

ya I'm not looking forward to a restring 😆
Nice nice. I have 2 electric D'Angelico and 1 D'Angelico 6 string acoustic electric, all excellent. This 12 seems really nice..thanks for another fun informative vid
12 string guitars are a cheat code. Always sound great because of doubling up. My Les Paul had dirty strings/fretboard or something
totally!
I play those bouzouki style. They sound great. D'Angelico makes nice guitars
thanks for sharing!
from that last after hockey live steam I bought a 12 String. a Mini Maton.
ah cool!
Maton are fantastic! I've stuck with them now for acoustic. The preamp is the best out there. Love the smaller body 808 series. They do a few 12 string models.
I would love to have a 12 string.
But the restringing makes me run back to my 6 string safe place LOL!
✌👽👍🎸🎼🎵🎶🇺🇸🇨🇦🏒
One good solution, when you are thinking that restringing is a tough job: the music store's guitar serviceman! It is not expensive, believe me!

I’d of thought of multiple people, albums and songs but if only one, leadbelly would’ve definitely been it.
It's difficult finding a 12 String in that Grand Auditorium shape, at that price.
Looks great.
The black finger is probably strings....they oxidize...you should be able to see the wound string marks in your fingers if it's the strings...if not it could be fretboard needs cleaned and maybe oiled..
Many years ago it was the Bronze Phosphor reacting with your finger sweat.
How many strings come on it? Did you put extra on?
All 12! :)
in all seriousness, when are you gonna review that tele sitting on the window sill?
3 years ago :) ua-cam.com/video/1Ebq0DjeS9Y/v-deo.html

I know I ask a lot of questions but I read one review stating the preamp is weak. Do you agree?
I just play it acoustically so I can't say
Very nice-looking guitar. I’d pick that color also. Sounds great. I even recognized some of those riffs.. ;-)
I am not affiliated with Guitar Guitar in the UK but as of July 2023 they were knocking these out for £149.00 ($190 USD, 175 Euro) so at half RRP it is even more of a bargain.

How's the action?
it's good! plays well
@@landonbailey thanks for the reply. I'm shopping for my first 12 string (mostly an electric player) and I don't want to make a big investment.

I just had the same issue on another guitar
Nice. You might find a range of prices for this box but they are all surprisingly low. If it's built to last it's a 12-string bargain.
This isn’t even their lowest priced 12 string!
A nice guitar which I can't afford. Oh well, I guess I'll stick to my 1973 fender f-55 12 string
Cool! Price isn't outrageous either. 👍
plays and sounds great
Big giant tedious head. Not you. Yer guitar. Sounds great!
On budget guitars, the strings always make your fingers look dirty, not sure why. A new set of strings fixes that.
Actually a 12 string guitar is a 13 string guitar with one string missing!
I knew it!
Can I take it with a grain of Sriracha
yes!
I own this exact 12 string and i can tell you first hand that the tuners that come on it are 100 percent junk ! They turn a quarter turn before any pitch change. Called DeAngelico and they did nothing for me. The guitar does sound ok, its bright but there are better options out there.
This has to be the cheapest or most affordable dangelico ive wve seen
it isn't
@@landonbailey really? What is?
Premier Fulton LS
WTF, Fender Ad!!!
A 12 string, having 12 strings...is not a "Con"...lol..🤣
