A Mini DC Designed for Comfort in the Premier Series
The Premier Mini DC embodies the D'Angelico spirit: a guitar with an elegant style, yet oriented towards modern playing. Its reduced size (body width 35.5 cm / 13.98") and slim thickness (2.54 cm / 1") make it particularly comfortable both sitting and standing, while retaining the feel and response of a semi-hollow with a center block.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This D'Angelico is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an easy-to-handle semi-hollow, as well as experienced musicians looking for a compact guitar for rehearsals and stage. It excels in blues, rock, indie, pop, soul, and modern jazz: round enough for chords, yet with presence for solos.
Sound
The semi-hollow construction with center block provides a very musical balance: a share of airiness and openness typical of semi-hollows, while maintaining good control at high volume. The Supro Bolt Bucker Alnico V pickups deliver firm lows, expressive mids, and precise highs: the neck pickup produces warm, singing tones perfect for nuanced playing; the bridge pickup offers a sharper attack suited for rock and dynamic rhythms. The simple and effective electronics (2 volumes, 2 tones, 3-position selector) facilitate quick adjustments between clean, crunch, and overdrive.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original feel, prefer electric strings in gauge 10-46 (equivalent to the factory setup). The standard mono jack chassis allows use of a classic 6.35 mm mono instrument cable, compatible with any guitar amplifier.
