"Sent fast and received quickly."

Sent fast and received quickly.

"The staff at the Aspen store couldn't…"

The staff at the Aspen store couldn't have been more knowledgeable and friendly. The guitar I purchased is outstanding. For this price point, I couldn't be happier with the guitar. I own 32 guitars, and I can tell this one will be an instant favorite.

"Recommend Guitar"

The guitar arrived in good shape. Fortunately it was packed well as the delivery driver threw the box into the bushes and knocked over a potted tree. The sound is very nice. The fretboard nice for a player with small hands.

"Everything went very smoothly"

Everything went very smoothly. No complaints.

"Could have been Excellent but settled for Great."

This review would have been 5 Stars if not for a few things. I registered my new guitar and was notified that I would receive 30% off on a purchase from the D'Angelico Store. I never received any notification of the 30% off and had to contact them and have them send me the code to use when making the purchase. I wanted to purchase a guitar case for my guitar but they were "unavailable/out of stock" for what seemed like several months. When they finally became available I was able to purchase a case using the 30% discount and it arrived in a timely manner. Other than having to jump through a few extra hoops, everything went great!

"I have no problem with the purchase"

I have no problem with the purchase, but you need to reprogram your system to recognize there is no sales tax on clothing in New Jersey. I bought a tee shirt and was charged tax.

"Fantastic company with fantastic…"

Fantastic company with fantastic products. A new favorite for sure.

"Communication from the D'Angelico Store"

Communication from the D'Angelico store is difficult post-ordering, but Tim Diaz in Customer Service has been great to work with.

"The guitar arrived on time and showed…"

The guitar arrived on time and showed no sign of damage. The packaging was very good. The tuner assembly did show that two of the 4 screws were tightened to tight, leaving small cracks on the plastic, which were visible in the blue backlight. The tuner worked perfectly and I am very happy with my purchase. The guitar sounds good and even better with amplification. Great to have an inbuilt tuner wherever I am.

"Excel-1"

I play the Excel-1. It is the essence of sound in a jazz guitar. Each note is matched in tone and volume through the scale. The neck is unsurpassed in feel and playability. I can only imagine the New Yorker with its solid wood maple body as surpassing it in sustain and timbre, however this student model sings with a voice all its own! Thank you D’Angelico
