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 thanks to the tonewood choices, the Premier DC cleans up beautifully and has 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.

Mr Matthew Cook15th Dec 2020

First impressions: the finish is superb. I didn't really know exactly what to expect, the finish is very sparkly. It looks white in the pictures but is actually more champagne (as described) in real life. Binding and detailing is superb. I went for the cheaper line of D'Angelico as I prefer the simpler finish and dark coloured fret board. It plays very well indeed. Intonation and action were great out of the box. The only thing I'd mark it down on (and only slightly) is the sound. The pickups are a little raucous. Unsubtle is probably the best way to describe them. I've found myself winding the tone and volume back a bit more than I normally would, but it's not really a problem.

For the price I got this (Black Friday deal), what's not to like? It plays well, sounds great and looks pretty classy too. It's my first semi-hollow guitar and is a great addition to any player's arsenal. A very versatile instrument.
