I personally love the old style art deco like trim on the D'Angelicos, but understand that style is not for everyone.
I have played quite a few different models across the different product offerings from D'Angelico recently.
What I found (IMO) was that the quality in the Premier line, while quite good, had some variability. They were all, except for one I played, very nice guitars though.
Some of the variability I found was probably due to setup issues that many guitars suffer from in music stores, but I can't understand why
the stores don't remedy that - they would sell so many more guitars.
I spent quite a bit of time comparing the Premier line to the Deluxe line. The Deluxe line is the next "higher tier" in quality and price.
At first, I was not sure the higher price point was justified, but I eventually became quite convinced that it was.
If you can afford the Deluxe model, I would recommend springing the extra bucks for it. The fit and finish, and quality of the parts is definitely a step up. Things like better locking tuners and "real" Seymour Duncan PUPs. Yes, I can hear the difference. If not, I think you will still be quite satisfied with the Premier. The Premier line guitars are getting very enthusiastic reviews pretty much across the board from most who play them.
I wound up getting a Deluxe Brighton, the double cut solid body and am absolutely in love with it.
BTW, the D'Angelico guitars in general typically have wider, flatter fingerboards than many other guitars. That was specifically one of the features that I liked about them and drew me to them in the first place.If you prefer a narrow and/or rounder fingerboard, you may not like them.
But try one - you just might like it.
