D'Angelico Deluxe SS Satin Brown Burst

A Deluxe SS Designed with D'Angelico's DNA

The Deluxe SS fits within D'Angelico's beloved Art Deco aesthetic, featuring meticulous luthiery and presentation details (multi-ply binding, 5-ply pickguard, "Stairstep" tailpiece). Within the range, this "Deluxe" version clearly targets the discerning guitarist seeking an elegant, stable semi-hollow ready for both stage and studio, while retaining a true sonic personality.

For Whom and Which Styles?

This D'Angelico is especially suited for intermediate to advanced players: it offers precise touch, simple and effective electronics, and a versatile semi-hollow format. It excels in jazz (rich chords, soft attacks), blues (organic tone), rock, and indie (beautiful textures and sustain), while remaining comfortable in pop when adjusting volume and tone controls.

The Sound

The semi-hollow body with center block provides beautiful acoustic resonance and a "lively" feel under the fingers, while limiting feedback risks compared to a fully hollow body. The Seymour Duncan Seth Lover A4 pickups (Alnico IV) emphasize a vintage color: rounded lows, singing mids, detailed highs without harshness, with excellent response to playing dynamics. The 2 volume / 2 tone controls and 3-position selector switch allow quick switching from a warm neck pickup sound to a more biting bridge pickup, or a balanced blend, ideal for rhythm and lead playing.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay true to the original spirit, a 10-46 string set is a safe choice (same gauge as factory-installed). The standard mono jack chassis accepts a classic mono instrument cable. Since the guitar comes with a case, a universal guitar stand can also be useful at home or in the studio.
