Premier Fulton: The D'Angelico Spirit in a Modern Acoustic Format
Renowned for its "art deco" heritage and distinctive-looking instruments, D'Angelico offers with the Premier series an accessible and contemporary approach. The Premier Fulton carries this visual identity (tuners and signature details) into an electro-acoustic guitar designed for today's playing: versatile, comfortable, and ready for both stage and home studio.
Who Is This 12-String Grand Auditorium For?
The D'Angelico Premier Fulton Natural is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to capture the characteristic "shimmer" of a 12-string without sacrificing ergonomics. Its Grand Auditorium format balances lows and highs: perfect for folk, pop, acoustic rock, pick accompaniment, wide arpeggios, and textures in open tunings. The cutaway also assists players who like to reach into the higher register for elevated voicings.
Sound Characteristics
The solid spruce top delivers clarity, definition, and quick response, highlighting the double attack of the 12 strings and enhancing projection. The sapelli back and sides reinforce midrange presence and add controlled warmth, useful for maintaining clarity during strumming. The Grand Auditorium format promotes overall balance (neither too "boomy" nor too thin), while the rosewood bridge contributes to a natural sustain feel. For stage use, the Fishman Sonitone (volume/tone) preserves an acoustic tone and allows quick balance adjustments depending on the venue.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original setup, a set of D'Addario EXP-38 strings (12-string) is the safest choice. For amplification via the jack output, plan on a standard 6.35 mm mono instrument cable.
