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 DC strikes the balance between classic D’Angelico design and contemporary performance. Combining unique D’Angelico design with a classic, familiar semi-hollow config, it’s a workhorse instrument that’ll never fail to turn heads.

Body & Neck

As the name suggests, the DC is a curvy double-cut semi-hollow that offers solid humbucking tones. The body material is Laminate Maple, offering up plenty of top-end brightness to contrast with the warm semi-hollow sound. Multi-ply cream binding rounds it off with a touch of class.

The Maple neck continues the theme, laying on yet more top-end sparkle. Combined with the semi-hollow configuration and HH pickup setup, you get a warm, clear and versatile sound that’ll suit anything from hard rock to jazz-funk.

Hardware & Electronics

As mentioned before, twin Duncan-designed HB humbuckers deliver a warm but gutsy snarl, but also clean up beautifully and have plenty of tone on tap regardless of style.

The hardware is chrome from top to bottom, including Rotomatic Stairstep tuners - it’s an undeniably striking instrument. But everything has a purpose; expect fantastic tuning stability, squeaky-clean intonation and reliability across the board.

Pickups are not as noisy as other cheaper 335 alternative options out there. Instrument stays in tune well and has a comfortable neck.

I have been after a semi-hollow guitar for a while now and couldn't decide between a Gretsch or Gibson - then I saw the D'Angelico and fell in love - it looks stunning, plays amazingly well and sounds fantastic. My only disappointed fact is it doesn't have push-pull pots in this Premier range, but that isn't end of the world, just would have been a nice feature to have. Not everyone will have heard of D'Angelico guitars, but they have been around a long time (in one form or another) and their quality and design is undeniable and fairly affordable too!

This was purposely a different kind of guitar for me. I'm still getting used to it. In fact, I think it will help make me a better player. Might consider a pickup upgrade in the future.
