D'Angelico Premier Brighton Oxblood

Premier Brighton: the D'Angelico spirit, modern solidbody version

With the Premier Brighton, D'Angelico translates its elegant identity into a solidbody guitar with a bold design. The Oxblood finish and refined details (multiple bindings, "F-hole" pickguard) give it a strong stage presence, while its Set-Thru construction aims for comfortable playability and a consistent musical response across the entire neck.

Who is this Brighton Oxblood for?

This guitar is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive solidbody capable of going from spacious cleans to dense drive. Its double cutaway format is ideal for solo playing, rock riffs, and gritty blues, while remaining comfortable in pop, indie, and alternative genres thanks to the push-pull options.

The sound

The solid mahogany body provides a warm sonic foundation, with present mids and a solid low end, perfect for saturated tones that need to stay clear. The Set-Thru neck (set-thru type neck-through) promotes a sense of continuity and more generous sustain than a bolt-on assembly, while maintaining good definition thanks to the maple.

Regarding pickups, the Duncan Designed MH-102 in the neck position favors round and singing tones, perfect for fluid leads and full chords. The MH-101 Alnico V at the bridge adds attack and dynamics for cutting riffs and solos that stand out in the mix. The push-pull controls on volumes and tones provide access to additional nuances, handy for shifting from thick character to airier textures depending on your amp and settings.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar is strung with 10-46 gauge strings (D'Angelico Electrozinc 10's): you can stick with this gauge to maintain the original balance between comfort, tuning stability, and attack. It comes with a gig bag, convenient for daily transport.
