    Man, that D'angelico is loud & bright at the same time.... sounds like it's amplified !! ( I know it's supposed to sound like that) !! That era is such a great age of guitars ! Thanks Michael !

    I took some lessons from a local jazz guitarist that had one of these. One of the most beautiful guitars I've ever played.

      Nice. I have a new rebranded reproduction D'Angelico. This model shown in the video was made by John D'Angelico, he only made about 1,200 in his lifetime and they're all worth a lot and very sought after.

    The neck caught my eye, beautiful back too. Michael’s playing never disappoints, I’m in awe of his breadth.

    Great demo, Michael ! Nailed it !!
    I believe a 'common' electric guitar was a few years away (EH 130 amp).
    Guitars like this were Pro Player built to be part of the rhythm section and project, slamming comp chords like the second part....well, maybe Eddie Lang played some solos :)
    The Depression. This had the best of the best. Yesterdays was a work of art.
    This takes the cake !
    man, maybe something $150 then.
    People were having trouble paying a nickle for a loaf of bread.

    Mike you are the man, I'll be honest, you rock, work at a fantastic place with fantastic people and I know you're musical career will go a long way, I've played 25 years, but you got many pros beat, ya play sweet serious guitar, I commend you, and watch guitar of the day every day. Come give me lessons, lol. God speed and a great career. Mitchell Magee, stafford Virginia. God bless.

    As beautiful as the wood and everything is, I feel like the headstock might be the coolest part of that guitar (aesthetically). It also sounds really great. The more I see these archtops on good GOTD, the more I like the idea of that type of guitar.

      Decorative finial - a D’Angelico signature. Not a truss rod!

      I don't think John D'Angelico did an adjustable truss rod before the 1950s, at least not as a standard.
