D'Angelico Deluxe Series Bedford Electric Guitar With Stopbar Tailpiece Black

Probably shouldn't leave a review since I am returning it, but I will say it's a beautiful guitar and sounds great for the price. Absolutely loved the finish on the neck.. though definitely some fret buzz on high e and b strings. My main gripe was the hardware. The guitar is VERY attractive yes, but closer inspection of the glitz and glam will leave you thinking of cheap costume jewelry that will turn your skin green. Sadly cheapens the effect in a major way. At least for me. I'd be totally willing to spend another 5-600$ for non plastic hardware. But alas not an option. Overall, great guitar. Just not the girl for me~

Out of the box this has been an incredible guitar. Actually, I play jazz and typically use hollow bodies and sometimes a nylon string. Not that I needed another guitar but thought I would give this a try. It was a great decision and although I may be a bit biased as to tone, this instrument is extremely adaptable and the quality of the Seymour Duncan pickups is first rate. When you pick this up for the first time and start to play, you will immediately be blown away by the quality of the neck and fingerboard. WOW.... what great action! So smooth. I found myself playing licks 2X faster than I typically do on my hollow bodies. Just a great feel, great tone and the hardshell case that comes with this model is really high quality. It is a bit heavy but no problem with a good strap. The other thing I want to share is I initially was concerned about the lighter strings (vs my arch tops - as this came without a 'wound' third string). HOWEVER, with a bit of tweaking and EQ this guitar can compete really well with my arch tops. In fact, I used this guitar exclusively for three recent performances and it has since become an old friend. I have a D'Angelico arch top. It is, obviously incredible, but they have done a great job on their new line of solid bodies. I am very happy with my choice and highly recommend anyone considering a cool solid body guitar to check this out. The features that come with this are so far ahead of what you will find on other competitor models. LOVE this instrument! The Deluxe model comes with more features than the standard model, including the hardshell case vs a gig bag.

Recently purchased the Bedford from Guitar Center. I can simply say that it is the best guitar I have played in this price range. The unfinished neck is very comfortable, great tone in all pickup positions, light weight, and I like how it looks. Extremely happy with this guitar.

I was skeptical about purchasing this, since there is so little about it online and it's made oversees. But I can tell you, there is no better guitar for the price. You're getting a great guitar, with custom Seymour Duncan pickups, Grover locking tuners, strap locks, coil taps etc, all for this price. Plus you have a beautiful set thru and satin neck with a bound fingerboard. This guitar just speaks class, and the sound and feel will not disappoint. Love it!!
