Joe D. Shipped his DA to me today. He graciously gave me time to sell a few guitars to buy his DA. I sold 4 guitars and an amp to make this happen. Well worth it to me.
I ask that each of you reading this thread pray to the diety of your choice for a safe journey for this incredible guitar.
Her sisters and step sister await her arrival:
Left to right: 48 D'Angelico Style B, 93 Heritage built D'Angelico II New Yorker, 37 D'Angelico Style A
I will do a nice NGD thread a day or two after she arrives (next week)
Stay tuned and thanks for the good thoughts!
Cheers to all,
Marc (Marco to my friends)Last edited by Stringswinger; 09-20-2016 at 01:51 AM.

Going to have to get a longer couch too. :-) Shipping stress I know too well. Prayers sent. No worries....Joe KNOWS how to pack a axe and God will sent a guardian angel to ride shotgun in the UPS truck. A foursome......WOW SWEET !
-
Marco ! looking forward to your review on NGD !!
-
Marco,
Wishing the guitar a safe journey and I look forward to the NGD.
-
Best of luck, Marco! The instrument will go from one set of good hands to another set of good hands. Enjoy!
-
Marc,
You will be in possession of the best collection of D'Angelico guitars of anyone I know. Fantastic.
-
That's cool isn't it?
I was really excited to move the D'Angelico Excel to Marc. First off, he was willing to come up with the money (hey, what can I say, I'm not gonna lie..). Second, the world of Elite Vintage guitars needs people like Marc around. He is a heavy hitter, not a heavy breather. Being out there, playing these guitars in front of 1,000's people at a time keep the world of vintage guitars alive and also, it helps put premium sound in peoples ears.
No doubt, this guitar is ABSOLUTELY in the best hands possible now.
Thanks Marc.

I second the motion, by virtue of your collection and that you PLAY OUT with these, DUDE you may be escalated to Chairman of the Board real fast.

Wait a minute !!! I just put two and two together. If Joe already sold you the HDANY and now this he must be getting ready to buy half of Chicago, or at least the politicians.

Yep, My DA's all get used on gigs. Great guitars should be shared. I am fortunate that I am the custodian of these amazing guitars and hope that my public performances help keep our art alive in some small way. I hope that somewhere, John D'Angelico, the Stradivarius of the guitar is smiling with approval. Originally Posted by ESCC

I'm firmly in the camp of actually performing with guitars that have high value. I do get the collector thing, but it just seems like such a waste to keep a magnificent instrument penned up. Now I don't advocate being stupid about it or careless, however with some reasonable precautions and planning it keeps them alive and vibrant.
Play the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks out of it!

Marc,
You have been a silent Hi-ranking official of the Nut Bag society since the date of its inception, Mr 22 Guitars... No application necessary for you. You should be praised for what you have done to keep the D'Angelico name so prominent, despite the efforts of Pisani and Ferolito (the bad golfing ice tea guy) to water it down so much it should now be called "DandnoweverywhereyoulookyouseeanimitationD'Angeli co..."
Mikey, you bought all the other nice guitars left in the world so I cant buy anything else.. I'm taking up another instrument, and I'm not telling you what it is until I rat-hole a couple..
Just playin. You guys are the best.
JD

Thanks Joe. I am down to 18 guitars after this purchase (more than enough) and am glad to be one of the Nut Bags. Originally Posted by Joe DeNisco

For a second there, I was considering calling a special meeting of the D'A club to consider a take down of fws6 as our fearless leader, but then I took a second look at that 'pretender' in the middle.
A Heritage!
You have five minutes to separate that pretender from the two Princes on either side of him, or we're going to have to call our West Coast Enforcer, Mundell Lowe, to physically separate said pretender!
Mundell may be in his 90s, but he still packs a mean right hook, so I wouldn't consider this an idle threat.
Joe D. can testify to his recent bout with ML when ML made a special trip to the East Coast to strip him of his rank.
So the amended roll call for this chapter is as follows:
fws (President) 4 DA's + 2 D'AQs
SS (Vice President) 3 DA's (one incoming)
Deacon Mark (Spiritual Advisor/Emergency Repairman) 1
Winter Moon (Field Soldier) 1
S. Longobardi (Financial Advisor) 1(?)

Wow. Congrats on the new (old) guitar.
-
O sgcim dont know if youre kidding there but please dont consider me president of anything afaik
-
I met Mundell at a recording session a couple of years ago. He borrowed my Clarus/RE rig for the session (His favorite amp and mine). Super nice guy. And his vision is less than stellar these days...I'd look for a new enforcer. So are we down to 6 members here? Now that Vinny has sold his DAQ and Joe D. Has sold his DA, the club is getting pretty small... Originally Posted by sgcim

I hear you Frank! But tis is better to be the President than the toilet cleaner I think.... Originally Posted by fws6

All kidding aside, I pray that the guitar arrives at your house in perfect shape with no surprises except how good it will sound when you first play it. You're extremely lucky to be the steward of that many outstanding instruments. I look forward to NGD. If you can, put in a clip of you playing it.
