Huge shout out to Chris (Acorn House) for yet MORE (like we need this) enabling!! Don's been drooling over the blue D'Angelico EX-1.... which has been foating around for a while. He was Jonesing for one of those and we laughed and spoofed and it was fun.... until Chris sent me the Musicians Friend Stupid Deal of the Day ad .... normally $1400, for $700.

It's ordered and now we're waiting half drunk with anticipation!!!

That BROWN TRUCK is gonna pull up any minute..... it's a nice guitar I THINK!!

WHEN will it GET HERE?? It's out for delivery!!

I'm going to try to stay calm..... that's a lie. I'm a wreck!!

This is what it's SUPPOSED to look like.....

Oh HELL ... it's HERE!! The case is HOT AS HELL so..... we''re being patient (not really) and ..... Anyway, there gonna be a NGDITH post soon I guess. Golly I'm worse than when my Breedlove came!! Old men shouldn't be subjected to this kind of stress. If we both die, Blame CHRIS!!

Thanks amigo.... talk about the STUPID DEAL OF THE DAY??? Holy crap!!

Tick tock tick tock, .... etc.....

That looks like a Gorgeous Guitar! I am really interested in hearing what the quality of the New D'Angelico guitars are like so I expect a full report once the Honeymoon period is over with, granted that everyone survives the Honeymoon period. LOL! Rocky at Street Sounds in Brooklyn has picked up the D'Angelico line as well If I remember correctly. Congrats to Don and to you Tom for having a new arrival in the house. That is another good looking Blue Guitar!

Don't worry, Tom; what goes around, comes around. I've been GASsed myself. (I'll post when/if it gets resolved.)

Well it showed up..... I'm not disappointed but we need a non-defective amp to fully realize how amazing it is. So expect a delay in the review. This thing is BEAUTIFUL!! I can't really tell you. Give me a day or so... I have to calm down.

I'll come along with more photos soon guys. I think I'm gonna like this......

Tryna be all JAZZY...... which I don't know how to do!!! :surprise:

So since it's not mine (YAAAY!! Someone else pays!!) what do I call it? NGITHD? (New Guitar In The House Day) Not sure. I'm sure this has happened before but I don't remember the protocol. I'm taking sedatives and going to sleep now. (Just Tylenol PM, don't get excited!!) LOL!! What a fun day....

It's way prettier in person! Just like me!

Learn a couple of diminished and augmented chords and you'll feel like a jazz guy in no time! Well, until you watch or listen to an actual jazz guy. :wink-new:

Don't forget to take of the padding under the bridge! (Then re-intonate.)
