Talk:John D'Angelico

Current status of D'Angelico Guitars?
Could someone more knowledgeable offer information on the current status of the company that Mr. D'Angelico started? SentientContrarian (talk) 17:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC)


 * "The iconic D'Angelico brand was recently bought by guitar collector and successful businessman John M. Ferolito, Sr., who kicked off the production of a small number of reissues.


 * "We've operated under the radar until now, working very hard to develop a successful line of reissues that delivers D'Angelico magic for an accessible price," said Brenden Cohen, D'Angelico Guitars CEO. "Having built that foundation, we believe that 2013 is the right time to begin to expand the brand. Older players already know about D'Angelico and want to hold one in their hands again, younger players want to know what all the fuss is about."


 * Ferolito, Sr. has now recruited the skilled hands of luthier Gene Baker and his team at the PBG Workshop in Arroyo Grande, California to start a limited run D'Angelico USA Masterbuilt Series. The first of the 2013 Masterbuilt models is a modern take on the classic 1942 D'Angelico Excel, constructed with the help of MRI scans of an original guitar."

 * I think Ferolito is one of the founders of Arizona Ice Tea. DavidRavenMoon (talk) 02:15, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Fundamental error in article.
There’s a fundamental error in the article. I don’t know how to fix it, because I don’t know the true facts, but the error is easy to spot. The article states “All of D’Angelico's guitars were hand-built, and many were customized for specific people, so substantial variation is evident in his output. D’Angelico's shop rarely made more than 30 guitars per year. In all, it is estimated that he 1,164 guitars.”

The article also states that D’Angelico was active from 1932 until his death in 1959, or 27 years. By simple math, 1,164/27=43.11, so in order to have produced 1,164 guitars in 27 years, he would have had to AVERAGE at least 43 guitars every year. So either he produced way more than 30 guitars per year, or fewer than 1,164 in his lifetime. I suspect that the former is wrong and the latter is correct, but I’m not a D’Angelico expert, but I did pass grade school math. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.185.106.34 (talk) 03:49, 11 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Good math catch! How should we handle this? Either we "trust" one author more or less than the other (Bonds writing in 2006, Wheeler writing in 1982), OR we include both, noting the discrepancy. (Or, take them both out?) I guess I'd prefer to just note the discrepancy very clearly. Mark Froelich (talk) 07:59, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
