D'Angelico Premier Mini DC Brown Burst

A "Mini DC" in the D'Angelico Spirit: Elegance and Modern Playability

With the Premier Mini DC, D'Angelico adapts the brand's iconic aesthetic into a more compact and easy-to-handle Semi Hollow guitar. The reduced size, combined with the center block, retains the airy feel of a semi-hollow body while providing greater stability and control, ideal for guitarists who want the style and personality of a Semi Hollow without the constraints of a large format.

For Whom and Which Styles?

This D'Angelico is aimed both at intermediate guitarists seeking a versatile Semi Hollow and at advanced musicians looking for a compact instrument for stage and studio. It excels in jazz, blues, indie, soul, and rock: the neck pickup delivers roundness for chords and smooth lines, while the bridge pickup enhances bite for punchy rhythms and solos that cut through the mix.

Sound

The Semi Hollow construction with a solid spruce laminated top and maple back and sides balances resonance and definition: spruce favors response and openness, maple adds attack and clarity. The center block increases sustain and reduces feedback, making the guitar more comfortable with overdrive. The Supro Bolt Bucker A5 (Alnico V) pickups deliver a rich and dynamic tone, driven by classic and effective electronics: 2 volumes, 2 tones, and a 3-position selector to quickly switch from a warm sound to a sharper attack.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, opt for electric strings 10-46 (same gauge as factory set). The standard mono jack chassis accepts a classic 6.35 mm instrument cable (mono), suitable for any guitar amplifier.
