Designed, along the the rest of D'Angelico's Premier Series, to focus on playability, tone and signature aesthetics, the Bedford is a sleek, lightweight solid offset-body guitar with tone that is versatile and organic. Featuring Duncan-Designed pickups, the combination of a stacked single-coil in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge position, along with push/pull coil-tap access, enables you to explore a wide range of tone in a comfortably affordable instrument.
