A Premier DC Designed in the D'Angelico Style
The Premier DC embodies D'Angelico's iconic aesthetic: elegant lines, meticulous finishes, and premium details. With its semi-hollow body and 5-ply binding, it targets guitarists seeking an expressive and versatile electric guitar with a strong visual presence both on stage and in the studio.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This D'Angelico is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced players looking for a comfortable and inspiring guitar. Its semi-hollow format is well suited for jazz, blues, soul, indie, and rock. The double cutaway and shorter scale length also facilitate bends and melodic playing, offering a smooth feel under the fingers.
The Sound
The semi-hollow construction with center block provides a sharper attack and better feedback resistance than a traditional semi-acoustic, while maintaining a nice openness in the midrange. The solid spruce laminated top promotes responsiveness and clarity, while the maple back and sides enhance definition and bite. The Supro Bolt Bucker Alnico V humbuckers deliver a rich range, with full lows, present but non-aggressive highs, and excellent dynamics, controlled via 2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs, and a 3-position selector switch.
