D'Angelico Premier DC Black Flake

A Modern Semi-Hollow in the Spirit of D'Angelico

The Premier DC embodies the D'Angelico DNA: a refined aesthetic and a stage-oriented approach, with semi-hollow craftsmanship designed to cover jazz to rock. The center block provides a firmer response and better stability at high volume, while retaining the openness and attack typical of a hollow-body guitar.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The D'Angelico Premier DC Black Flake is well suited for intermediate and advanced guitarists seeking an expressive electric guitar, comfortable in blues, jazz, indie, pop, and rock. Its double cutaway facilitates playing high up the neck, while the semi-hollow architecture delivers broad, articulate, and dynamic tones, both in chords and melodies.

Sound Characteristics

With its maple top, back, and sides, this Premier DC emphasizes clarity, attack, and note definition, while maintaining a nice fullness thanks to the body. The center block increases sustain and helps contain unwanted vibrations when pushing the amp. The neck pickup, a Supro Bolt Bucker A5 (Alnico V), highlights round lows, present mids, and precise attack-ideal for smooth tones, singing leads, and thick rhythms. The 2 volume / 2 tone controls and 3-position selector allow quick adjustment of balance and tonal color depending on the register and context.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel, you can stick with a 10-46 gauge electric guitar string set (the same as the D'Angelico Electrozinc 10's factory-installed strings). The guitar comes with a gig bag, so you're ready for transport right out of the box.
