Open Box D'Angelico Premier Gramercy Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Level 1 Gloss White Wash

This guitar sounds and feels really good for $400 or less. Great neck feel, especially if you don't want a more traditional C-shape profile without it being too chunky. I have big hands and it feels great to hold. The tuners are not locking, but they hold a tune really well. It is pretty light and resonant, has a nice vibrant sound and plenty of volume. I have not plugged it in so I can't speak for the electronics. I will say, I love how discreet the electronics are on this guitar. I forget that it had electronics. This guitar is also really aesthetically pleasing. It's beautiful. Loiks amazing hanging on the wall. I like the headstock and the history it pays tribute to. The fit and finish are not what you will find on a high end guitar, but there are no sharp edges on the fret ends, no goofy glue or any issues in craftsmanship. I am in Arizona and even in a very dry desert, this guitar holds up. It is resilient and well built. Like any guitar you should hold it and play it first. Go to your local GC and sit down with one. Maybe it isn't for you. But for the money this guitar offers a lot.

This is my first D'angelico guitar. It looks amazing and unique for sure. It also sounds really resonant and clear. It was very easy to play to my hands. The size of it and sound of it make a really good go-to guitar for everyday playing. The electronics don't get in the way at all.

Good tone, neck feels real nice. No issues so far

So initial thoughts Purchased on sale, Christmas door buster… Appearance: Body is a lovely cream, trace of wood grain peeking through. Wow the neck is white. Satin finish. Appears cream also in pictures on the site here, but is bright white. The hardware is a dull brassy look, up close seems too "antique ". Overall I like it, does stand out from the generic spruce clear tops. Fit and finish is spectacular for the price range. Neck binding, clean edges on frets no extra glue or body gaps. I own a couple, and this is where D'Angelico really comes into its own. And this is the top of the gramercy line Playability: improved fishman pickups over others in this line, works well enough simple tone and volume hidden in sound hole. Sound is bright but deeper than I'd guessed. The set up: action kinda high. Strings pretty stiff from factory. Some truss rod adjustment helped . I'll replace the strings sooner rather than later. Bottom line, I'll keep it, change strings and a little saddle/ nut adjustment 4 stars, solid at this price
