these look to have moved down to 699 just about everywhere. These are solid guitars and at this price, a good acquisition. We may be able to hold out for a little more discount.

Great guitars. The Excel is the model you want- much higher build quality than the Premier line and better hardware. They used to put cool art-deco tuners on these models but it looks like they went with the more subtle button heads on these ones.

I had a "Tuxedo" version of this is they play nearly identically to a Gibson ES 335. The neck is a bit thinner, but it's still a C shape. They're very comfortable and have a great acoustic tone. This one has the newer Supro pickups in it. D'Angelico bought Supro so expect a lot of merging products with them.

Seems to be this price at multiple places (Amazon, Guitar Center, Musician's Friend), and I'm skeptical of that list price.

They have been this price since late 2023. Maybe longer.

I've never owned a D'Angelico. Beautiful looking guitars. Thanks for sharing info about excel vs premiere and the Supro acquisition. I learned a lot from this post. Cheers

Just to flood you with information- D'Angelico was THE guitar to have in the 30's and 40's. If you showed up at a gig with one people knew you meant business. It was like pulling a Stratovarius out before a concert.

They fell out of favor when rock took over from jazz as the pop-music go to. The owner's relatives revamped the business about 10 years ago and they've come back with a vengeance. The company is similar to Gretsch in their build quality and designs, but they definitely do their own thing. I'd encourage you to play one at a music store and see what you think.
