Order went pretty well. I thought there'd be screws with the truss rod cover but guess not.

Premier Bowery LS acoustic guitar. The only reason I can't give it 5-star is there is so much string rattle in 5 and 6. I will have to try to adjust the truss rod which is not one of my favorite things to do. I will buy other D'angelico guitars!

I really like the guitar. It plays great and looks great. My only problem, and it is minor, is there was not much attention paid to detail. For example, there is overspray from the paint into to hollow body, and also on the neck area. The lines are not clean. If I had bought this guitar locally, I would have returned it and requested an exchange. However, I ordered it online and I did not want the hassle of repacking it and shipping it back out, so, I'm kinda stuck with it. Overall, it is a great guitar.

Premier DC MINI It’s a very nice guitar, with a few weaknesses. The neck dives, as the headstock is heavy. They should move the strap pin higher and supply a straplock. The frets, for me, are too high and square, snagging fingers when sliding up the neck, even after dressing by my luthier. The pickguard is in the way of the switch, and to me looks pretentious. Swapped it for an Epi 339 which fit perfectly. The bridge pickup was miswired at the factory and sounded terrible until corrected, which was an expense. The switch operating diagonally is a bad idea for experienced players, who’ll jeep trying to pull it straight up, so I had it changed to vertically, like other guitars of this type. I do like the guitar, but now have to decide whether to live with the frets or do a costly refret.

My second D'Ang Premier acoustic. String height, neck straightness not adequate. Too much buzz at the 9th fret with 3 biggest strings. Truss rod adjustment won't make it perfect. But fine guitar personality in tone and volume.

Had to replace a tailpiece that failed on an EXL-1. Which they shouldn’t fail at the hinge and metal break just from string pressure. Being a used instrument I had to pay $100 for this part. But at least they sent a spare! Good job.

This review would have been 5 Stars if not for a few things. I registered my new guitar and was notified that I would receive 30% off on a purchase from the D'Angelico Store. I never received any notification of the 30% off and had to contact them and have them send me the code to use when making the purchase. I wanted to purchase a guitar case for my guitar but they were "unavailable/out of stock" for what seemed like several months. When they finally became available I was able to purchase a case using the 30% discount and it arrived in a timely manner. Other than having to jump through a few extra hoops, everything went great!

I have no problem with the purchase, but you need to reprogram your system to recognize there is no sales tax on clothing in New Jersey. I bought a tee shirt and was charged tax.
