D'Angelico Gramercy Vintage Natural

A "Gramercy" in the D'Angelico Spirit: Vintage Elegance and Modern Excellence

Inspired by the refined aesthetic associated with D'Angelico, the Gramercy Vintage Natural focuses on traditional luthiery and high-end details to offer an electro-acoustic guitar with a timeless look. Its Grand Auditorium format aims for versatility: large enough to fill the space in acoustic playing, yet manageable for accompaniment and fingerstyle.

For Whom and in Which Styles?

This D'Angelico is designed for intermediate to advanced guitarists (and discerning beginners) who want a responsive acoustic capable of switching from fingerstyle to pick attack. It excels in pop, folk, songwriting, soft blues, and vocal accompaniment. The cutaway facilitates access to the upper frets for melodic lines and chord embellishments higher up the neck.

Sound

The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, projection, and a crisp attack, ideal for arpeggios that remain clear and chords that breathe. The solid mahogany back and sides enhance round midrange and a warm feel, with controlled bass that avoids excessive "boom." The Grand Auditorium format contributes to this balance: a consistent response across the spectrum and natural sustain, suitable for both strumming and picking. Plugged in, the Fishman Sonitone (Presys VT) electronics prioritize natural and practical reproduction, with direct volume and tone control.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, plan on a replacement set of D'Addario EXP-16 in 12-53. For amplification, a 6.35 mm mono jack cable is perfectly suited to the standard mono jack output.
