D’Angelico guarantees a limited lifetime warranty on instruments bought on or after January 1st, 2013. For more information on our warranty and registration please visit: ​https://dangelicoguitars.com/warranty/

To receive warranty work, first make sure you are registered on our website: https://dangelicoguitars.com/registration/. Then please contact the D’Angelico dealer you have purchased your instrument from and request a “warranty assessment.” You can find local, authorized dealers here: https://dangelicoguitars.com/where-to-buy/. Guitar Center has many convenient locations across the country and Sweetwater offers mail-in service. Please be sure to provide your sales receipt to the technician.

No, only newly purchased instruments are eligible for warranty coverage.

If your Stairstep tailpiece has broken, please be sure you are registered for our warranty, then please send an email to info@dangelicoguitars.com. If your instrument is no longer covered under warranty, or if you’d like to purchase a different finish option, please visit https://dangelicoguitars.com/store/.

Our warranty does not cover the playability of an instrument whose “action” is lower than the standard “action” as set at the factory, nor does it cover “subjective” matters such as sound. However, it does cover construction defects. Please consult your dealer directly. For more information on warranty coverage, please visit ​https://dangelicoguitars.com/warranty.​

For any significant neck adjustments, we recommend you take your instrument to your local guitar technician or luthier. Or, if you’re experienced adjusting a truss rod, all D’Angelico guitars have an adjustable dual action truss rod.

The most up-to-date specifications are always available on our website, which we are constantly refining to include our latest models. Our dealers should have the same specs, and we work consistently to ensure that. For specific questions that aren’t listed, feel free to give us a call or e-mail ​info@dangelicoguitars.com.​

Absolutely. Almost all of our acoustics are equipped with an onboard preamp and pickup system allowing you to easily plug into any P.A. system, amplifier or speaker.

The tremolo bar can be adjusted to preference—loose or tight. It is always recommended to have a technician install parts if you are unfamiliar with the process. If you are knowledgable on guitar parts follow the step by step instructions:

1. Push the bar into the opening on the top of the bridge
2. Apply pressure to the bar like you’re doing a “dive bomb”
3. Look at the back of the tremolo block for a set-screw
4. Using the included Allen wrench, tighten the screw until the bar is as tight as you prefer

Our Stairstep trapeze-style tailpiece offers a slightly spongier feel than a standard stopbar, due to its suspending the strings above the body of the guitar. This same suspension that occurs behind the bridge results in extra harmonic frequencies ringing out while the strings are played, which some players prefer. Those looking for a traditional archtop or semi-hollow feel should try out our Stairstep option, while those who are looking for a more modern, taut string feel that provides little give should head towards our stopbar option.

Make sure you are using a charged 9V battery that is inserted properly.
Otherwise, please give our customer service a call at 646-460-8472.

10/1000ths of an inch relief.

5/64ths” string height on the low side (TOM)

4/64ths” string height on the high side (TOM)

For guitars with a Fender-style vibrato, 4/64ths” string height on both sides.

Both configurations allow for a number of tonal options. A six-way switch allows you to share your humbuckers, isolate either, turn either into a single-coil pickup, or share both single-coils. Coil-splitting tone knobs allow for the same options, plus two added options, where the neck pickup is split and the bridge remains a humbucker, and vice versa. Here’s a video we made walking through the options https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFZA3vLACMY&t=2s

For glossy finishes, this is a helpful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh3myrzWTPE. A little warm water can go a long way for cleaning a matte finished instrument. Lizard spit is okay on matte finishes, as well, but we don’t recommend directly spraying the instrument (spray the rag), or overdoing it.

The strings are steel, with a zinc-plated core and EXP-coating. The base steel has a max nickel content of 0.25%. So there is a trace amount of nickel.
