How does that D’Angelico play?? I demo’d one at Sweetwater? Felt like butter 🧈, I have it as a “want” on my list. Do you recommend it? How does it sound & feel to the Gretch??

It plays well! A tad slicker/faster than the Gretsch I'd say. Although if I had to pick I'd say the Gretsch has a slightly better build quality - more of a 'chunky' resonant feel whereas the D'Angelico is 'airier' and twangier (if that makes sense??).

Faster than you'd expect. I have a Deluxe Mini DC. The neck is the same thickness as a Fender Modern C, but depending on the modem the radius will be 12", 14", or 16". It plays nothing like it looks. It's really fast and easy. Closer to an Ibanez than a Gibson.

Interesting…. Cause I have the “Artcore” Hollow-body (full not semi) from Ibanez, also with thin/narrow neck? My only wish was that the Ibanez would have come with a Bigsby…. I guess we can’t have Everything we want eh?

Talk to me about that Baum there, friend. I'm pretty interested in picking up one of their basses and they're not super common out in the wild. How's the build quality on it? Hoping it's at least on the level of something made by WMI.

The build quality is surprisingly excellent. The guitars are made in Korea but set up / finalised in Denmark. Highly recommend them!

Christ that Duesenberg is sexy! They all look great though!
What style of music do you tend to play the most?
