Staff Picks

January 2023

The Bond Audio family is filled with all sorts of musicians and music lovers. We asked some of our team members what their favorite D’Angelico is and why. Here’s what they said:

Deluxe 59

“My favorite D’Angelico guitar is currently the Deluxe 59 in Brown Burst. It’s a perfect intersection of sleek, classy aesthetics and ergonomic design. Paired with premium appointments like Grover locking tuners, classic hardware like the D’Angelico Stairstep tailpiece, and vintage-voiced dog ear P90 pickups, the 59 is one of the most sonically and visually unique guitars on the market. Plus it rips.”   

• Mark Fischer, Product Development Associate

Excel Mini DC Tour

“It’s a gig-friendly take on a classic design. Transitioning from a solid body electric to the Mini DC remains familiar and requires minimal modifications to your playing mechanics. It features high-end components and hardware that eliminate the need for after-market upgrades.”

• Gamal Nagi, Director of Operations

Deluxe Bedford SH

“My pick is the Deluxe Bedford SH in black. I like that its unique pickup configuration makes it versatile for a variety of tones/genres. Plus, the combination of the gold hardware and black finish is absolutely gorg.”

• Maddie Maranto, Graphic Designer

Deluxe Mini DC

“Of all the guitars in the showroom, one that constantly draws my attention is the Deluxe Mini DC in Satin Trans Wine. Something about the smooth satin neck intertwined with the silky and sparkly P90s has me picking it up over and over again. The satin wood finish accentuates the natural feel of the guitar, plus it looks awesome.”

• Fiona Perosi, NYC Showroom Manager 

Excel Tammany

“Since I started playing guitar early on, I’ve always looked for instruments that inspire me to learn, to play more and to play in front of people. The Excel Tammany is one of those guitars for me. Once I start playing it, it is hard to stop as the guitar brings me new ideas over and over again. It’s also a solid and reliable companion on stage!”
