D'Angelico has reintroduced its spellbinding Deluxe 175 LE model as part of a highly-limited production run. Combining modern/classic aesthetics with vintage-inspired features, the D'Angelico Deluxe 175 LE is a totally unique electric guitar that has retro class and style in abundance.
Key features include a 3-inch deep full hollow-body construction, a potent pair of TV Jones DA-Tron humbuckers, D'Angelico's elegant "Shield" tremolo and Grover Super Rotomatic locking machine heads that guarantee rock-solid tuning stability. Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, this is your chance to grab a truly special instrument with future collectable prestige.
Hollow-Body Construction
D'Angelico were early pioneers of the archtop electric guitar, so it's therefore no surprise that their stunning Deluxe 175 LE model follows this traditional hollow-body formula. Giving the instrument plenty of vibrancy, definition and acoustic-like volume - especially with the bright-sounding laminated Maple tonewoods - you can expect airy, resonant tones with singing note sustain.
Luxurious Neck
The Deluxe 175's body is joined with a strong 3-piece neck, which comes topped with an Ebony fingerboard that provides a silky touch under the fingers. The neck is shaped to a comfortable "C" carve, a slim shape which both traditionalists and contemporary players will admire, while a modern fingerboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets offer a controllable feel for vibrato and string bends.
Custom TV Jones Humbuckers
Regarded as some of the first true rock n' roll guitar pickups, a set of TV Jones DA-Tron humbuckers bring airy and articulate tone to the divine D'Angelico Deluxe 175 LE. From throaty rockabilly to classic rock, or even jazz fusion to blues - these pickups are plenty versatile for most genres. Push/pull tone knobs allow for easy coil-splitting too, broadening the DA-Trons' palette of sounds to include some single-coil spank!
