collapse expand iconDescription

Whatever your personal choice of genre, D'Angelico's Premier Series DC semi-hollow electric guitar provides standout tone, great looks and comfortable playability. With Duncan-Designed HB-101 and HB-101 humbuckers, its punchy midrange and crystalline highs deliver a balanced sound, while the 24.75" scale maple neck with ovankol fretboard makes it a dream to play. Aesthetically, the cream binding, chrome hardware and classic D'Angelico Art Deco design touches keep it from being "just another guitar."

    This guitar far exceeded my expectations. I've had it about 3 years and it gas been great. Hands down the most comfortable guitar I own. It felt like an old friend from the moment I picked it up. Build quality is better than my Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom. Although it has a poly finish, it is hard and thin and doesn't have a plastic feel. Tones are very vintage. I did need to replace the bridge which buzzed and the tuners which got loose after a year. Grover imperials fit right in. Thank you D' Angelico for a great instrument.

  • I love it so much I bought two!

    I bought the wine red premier with a gift card my wife gave me for my birthday. She wanted me to get a nice guitar. Well, this is definitely nice! It plays great and sounds like a humbucker guitar should. Versatile and fun to play. Gig bag was a nice plus.

    This guitar feels great. It's super solid and well-balanced. I play it through my Fender Princeton and it get's a really great clean tone. When I through on some distortion, the notes come through crisply and don't get lost in the mix. I'm a big fan. Thank you D'Angelico!!!
