D'Angelico Lexington Vintage Sunset

A D'Angelico Dreadnought Designed for Versatility

With the Lexington, D'Angelico offers a dreadnought featuring a "Vintage Sunset" look that combines traditional lutherie (dovetail joint assembly, solid woods) with a modern approach focused on amplified playing. It positions itself as a versatile acoustic guitar, capable of transitioning from a songwriting session in the living room to a amplified performance, while maintaining a distinctive sound identity marked by the Sitka spruce and mahogany combination.

For Whom and Which Styles?

The D'Angelico Lexington is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive acoustic, suitable both for fingerstyle playing and energetic pick strumming. The dreadnought format particularly highlights folk, country, pop, acoustic rock, and any style requiring power in strumming, while remaining precise in fingerpicking thanks to the ebony fingerboard and the response of the solid spruce top.

Sound Characteristics

The solid Sitka spruce top provides attack, clarity, and dynamics: the guitar responds finely to nuances, from light playing to strong attacks. The solid mahogany back and sides enhance midrange warmth, harmonic coherence, and a pleasant natural compression, ideal for full rhythms and melodic lines that remain clear. When amplified, the Fishman Sonitone (Presys VT) favors a natural and musical sound, with simple volume and tone controls to quickly adjust presence and brightness according to the PA system or room acoustics.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This guitar comes factory-strung with D'Addario EXP-16 strings, gauge 12-53: you can keep this same gauge to maintain the original balance between comfort and projection. It is delivered with a gig bag, convenient for transport and daily protection.
