This is absolutely one of the best playing guitars I have ever had the pleasure to play. I am the original owner.I have easily bought sold or traded 100 + guitars since 2019. This one stayed through all of them. Now is the time for me to part with it. The playability on this particular guitar is magic. Not saying that to sell, I am saying that because it’s true. The string height, intonation, fretboard, frets, are PERFECT. A JOY to play. Hard to put down. If you play this you WILL want it. There are cheaper D’Angelicos, if that’s what you want buy one. The price on this one is worth EVERY penny. This particular color is hard to find and very desirable. What’s amazing is that for a semi hollow body, these pickups (Kent Armstrong) can go from blues, jazz, rock, to metal with ease. Seriously. I ship fast and pack well (overpack). I always use reverb safe shipping to protect your purchase. I always ship by next day, unless purchased on saturday( I have no shippers in my area open Sunday. And sometimes same day if purchase is early in the day. Sorry about shipping rates. They have went WAY up. Thanks for looking, have a great day !
