Beautiful guitar in all ways Beautiful guitar in all ways: finish, build quality, neck feel, responsive electronics, good tuners. One caveat: the frets were a bit off and choked when lowering the action so I had to take it to a local luthier to fix the problem. I may opt for a Plek setup. That is something you should consider as an extra cost option. I know Sweetwater, from whom I purchased the guitar, offers it as an option. Overall a great piece of musical equipment and a name I have always wanted to include in my harem.

The DC Tour is a good buy The DC Tour isn't perfect (the bridge on mine has to be super-low on the treble side to get the action right), but it's very good for what the guitar costs (I got a demo for $500 from Sweetwater). Love the Supro pickups; they're worth the price of admission.

Wonderful Guitar Strap The leather guitar strap is wonderful. Incredibly comfortable and beautiful to look at as well. Shipping was very fast. I love my D’Angelico guitars as well. Everything is top notch. Keep up the great work.

Try, try again…. You guys did great at shipping me my new stair step tailpiece. However, on receiving my new, nicer, beefier Tailpiece, I can’t help thinking that there had been problems with the original, (mine tore off at the hinge, having been mostly in the case, never gigged, never dropped.). At any rate, the new unit is noticeably thicker gauge metal, more plating, and all around nicer.

"Gold" Skyscraper Truss Rod Cover My EXL-1 bought new in ~2014 came with "gold" hardware except for the TRC. So the gold TRC finally came into stock and it was reasonable at $15. However, it is thicker and slightly longer than the original "silver" TRC and wouldn't install properly until I took a file (a really coarse file, I might add) to it, followed by some finishing work with a much finer file. Looks better now, but it certainly wasn't drop in place and tighten a couple of screws, which is what I expected.
