LEGEND OF THE JAZZ ERA
Modeled after the very first D’Angelico archtops developed in the 1930s, the Style B offers old school, woody tone and a timeless aesthetic.
DeARMOND RHYTHM CHIEF
Often seen as an after-market addition on originally-acoustic D’Angelico’s of the late 30s and 40s, the DeArmond Rhythm Chief single-coil pickup returns to provide exceptionally balanced and rich tone.
VINTAGE INSPIRATION
Borrowing from several different iterations of John D’Angelico’s ever-changing archtop designs, the new Style B features diamond-shaped f-holes, a Throwback headstock, and
CLASSIC FORMULA
With only twenty frets and a 24.75” scale length, the Style B’s unique formula yields the same warm tone as non-cutaways of the 1930s.
