collapse expand iconDescription

The D'Angelico Premier Fulton acoustic-electric guitar provides a remarkably comfortable playing experience with clear, balanced 12-string tone. Its solid spruce top produces crisp articulation, while the laminated mahogany back and sides offer warm, rich undertones. The deep single cutaway allows easy access to upper frets, aided by a thin satin neck profile that feels familiar to electric guitarists. Finely scalloped bracing allows the Fulton's resonance to open up and bloom over time. Plug in its Fishman Sonitone preamp to amplify the Fulton's acoustic voice with simple volume and tone controls. Signature D'Angelico appointments like the art deco pickguard and antique bronze hardware add vintage style. With the Premier Fulton, you get exceptional comfort, playability and amplified acoustic tone in a quality 12-string guitar.

Crisp and Balanced 12-String Tone With a Solid Spruce Top and Mahogany Back and Sides

The D'Angelico Premier Fulton produces remarkably even tone across its twelve strings, with crisp articulation and balanced warmth. Its solid Sitka spruce top provides the clarity and responsiveness you want in an acoustic guitar, while the laminated mahogany back and sides offer rich, resonant undertones. Together, they create a voice that's lively yet grounded - ideal for rhythm and fingerstyle playing. The Fulton's tone stays clear even when strumming full chords thanks to its expert bracing and construction. Hear your twelve strings ring out with exceptional balance and presence.

Deep Cutaway and Scalloped Bracing Let the Tone Bloom Over Time

The Premier Fulton's deep single cutaway grants comfortable access to the higher frets, making it easier to solo and improvise. Low-profile scalloped bracing allows the spruce top more freedom to vibrate so the Fulton's tone opens up and improves with playing time. You'll hear the resonance become richer and more complex, with sweet overtones ringing out. The bracing pattern also helps produce even volume across all twelve strings, enhancing the Fulton's already stellar tonal balance. Let this 12-string acoustic mature alongside your playing.

Plug in the Onboard Fishman Preamp for Amplified Performances

The D'Angelico Premier Fulton comes equipped with a Fishman Sonitone preamp, featuring easy-access volume and tone controls. Plug into an amplifier or PA system to project the Fulton's pristine 12-string tone, maintaining the crisp highs, tight low end and balanced string-to-string response. Shape your amplified tone with the simple tone controls. The Sonitone preamp accurately captures the Fulton's impressive acoustic voice - you'll feel like you're playing a mic'd up guitar. Perform live or record in the studio with this quality 12-string amplified.

Familiar Electric Profile With Slim Neck and Narrower Nut Width

The Premier Fulton's C-shaped neck profile measures slimmer compared to many traditional 12-string acoustics, while the 1 11/16" nut width provides ample room for comfortable fingering without feeling too wide. The satin finish enhances fast playability. Together these attributes create a feel familiar to electric guitarists, helping you transition easily to the 12-string acoustic. The Fulton plays with ease right out of the case, inspiring you to new musical heights.

Vintage Art Deco Style With Pickguard and Hardware

The D'Angelico Premier Fulton expresses vintage style with its signature appointments. An archtop-inspired pickguard with a stair-step design provides both form and function. Antique bronze die-cast tuning machines, bridge pins and strap buttons offer understated elegance. These art deco accents give the Fulton a touch of timeless class. With its excellent playability, rich acoustic tone and elegant visual flair, the Premier Fulton is a 12-string primed for performance.
