D’angelico Excel 59

[cheer tunes]

Hi, does anyone have any experience with these? made in Korea, seem to be fantastic for the price point. At $2K do you think there is an Eastman that I should look at? Things I like about the d’angelico are the pickups, playability, tuneomatic bridge, thin body Thanks

If you're looking at a jazzbox with P-90's you'd be remiss if you didn't give the Godin CW II a test drive - about half the price of the D'A, and a real tone monster that'll cover a broad range of styles...,

If you're looking at Eastman, check out their T-64. A fantastic all rounder with fabulous jazz tones. I can't put mine down. Basically a 330 with some lovely extras like ivoroid binding, wider neck and smooth Ebony fingerboard. The slight relicing might not be to everyone's taste but I quickly got over it. The Lollar P90's are sublime.

Hopefully David Rawlings' recent love for the D'Angelico style electrics will take the pressure off all those 1930s Epiphone Olympics that used to sell for 50 bucks a pop...
