D'Angelico

Max Guitar store is renowned for its impressive selection of D'Angelico guitars, offering a diverse range of these iconic instruments to cater to musicians of all styles and preferences. D'Angelico guitars have a rich history dating back to the early 20th century when John D'Angelico, an Italian luthier, began crafting exquisite guitars in New York City. His meticulous attention to detail and innovative designs quickly earned him a reputation for producing some of the finest instruments of his time, favored by legendary musicians such as Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Drake Bell, Bucky Pizzarelli, Chet Atkins 

In a surprising turn of events, in 2011 the brand was purchased by Don Vultaggio, the owner of Arizona Iced Tea, breathing new life into the legacy of D'Angelico guitars., the brand returned under the stewardship of its new owners, Brenden Cohen, and John Ferolito Jr, with a plan to shake up the guitar industry. Once again people could enjoy the uniquely Art Deco charms of D'Angelico guitars. This unexpected acquisition has sparked renewed interest in the brand, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern entrepreneurial vision and very affordable price tags.

Among the latest offerings from D'Angelico, introduced at the 2024 Namm Show are the EXCEL EXL-1 and Excel Style B models, exemplifying the brand's commitment to quality and innovation.
