I have a Musician’s Friend account. It reminds me when my rewards points are going to expire. I noticed that I had $80 that was in danger of expiring. Checking my wish list, I saw that the cajon I’d been considering was on sale… for $80! The “catch” was that I had to call my gear advisor Aaron to get the sale price… stupid me… I called.
During the conversation, Aaron asked if there was anything besides the cajon I was thinking about…
Well…………
There was. A guitar. A D’Angelico guitar. My 4th D’Angelico guitar… A D’Angelico guitar that when I last looked was $1500 but was now $700…
why did I cave into my greedy, my possessive, my gotta have it side? I pulled out my credit card feeling like Mr. Hyde… did that stop me?
NO WAY!!!
So here’s my new baby - a D’Angelico Excel Series Mini DC in Slate Blue with SuproBucker pickups! Sounds good, Looks good, Feels good, heck it even smells good!!!
Thanks Stacy @artax_2 , I really love this guitar! Not so sure about angelic though… plugged it in, cranked the gain, added a bit of distortion & it sounded kinda devilish !!!

I appreciate it Nicole @JokuMuu ! I’ve always been partial to blue guitars, my 2nd one was a blue Ibanez & I remember thinking “Not sure why I like THIS ONE! I know I’ll NEVER play Blues”! I didn’t care much for Blues back then… now I can’t wait to play’em!!!
Happy NGD Tod
Looks great and if they were lighter I would definitely have bought one because I looked for one for a while (I don’t go heavier than 2.6 kg)

You guys are gonna kill me! All those new guitars around here!!! Is there something out there like guitar spring fever ??? I’m trying to keep the rest of inner attitude not to buy a further guitar right now and what you are all doing???
Wow, what a beauty, wish you lots of fullfilling hours together!!
Yes, certainly, and remember that it is always Spring somewhere , so this never stops , it is an ongoing process
And you live your life in the land of Thomann
Greetings
Please don’t remind me, that it only was a three hours drive to Thomann’s and we have Kirstein just 45 minutes away . Deep breath, keep calm and relax .
Super nice Tod, that’s a gorgeous finish and I do like a hollow body look.
Out of interest, but as you’ve a few I think I can guess the answer, how are the D’Angelico’s to play? What’d be your “review” of them?
They are occasionally on very good deals with a UK shop and I’ve always liked the look, but not gone and tried one.
Hey Tod,
Looks like a fabulous guitar. If I hadn’t a hollowbody already I would have considered this one. Especially as it’s a 339 style smaller body guitar.
You are a lucky man for sure
