Product Description

Born in NYC’s Little Italy, D’Angelico is widely regarded as one of the finest archtop guitar manufacturers of the 20th century. Nowadays, they make guitars of all shapes and sizes; all built with the same exceptional detail, mastery and flair that put them on the map.

The Premier Bedford is D’Angelico’s offset design. Combining retro cool with a slick contemporary tonal palette, it’ll be sure to turn heads with both looks and sound!

Body & Neck

The uniquely-shaped body uses basswood, offering a simple balanced tone that’s the perfect platform for fat pickups. The shape is surprisingly ergonomic, with great upper-fret access for soloing and high-register chords.

The neck uses a Maple Scarf construction with a set-thru joint. This helps counter the subtle Basswood & H/S pickup combination with extra top-end brightness, great for lead playing clarity.

Hardware & Electronics

The Premier Bedford comes with 2 Duncan-designed pickups; an HB-101 humbucker in the bridge and HB-102 single-coil stack in the neck. This, combines with a coil-split and 3-way switch, offers an array of slick tones. Perfect for everything from punk-rock to glittering pop-funk.

Chrome hardware is used from top to bottom. This gives the Premier Bedford a reserved but classy look, and the Rotomatic Stairstep tuners & stopbar configuration ensure tuning stability and reliable intonation. This is a true workhorse instrument that’s also out to make a statement!
