Playing host to some of the most popular acoustic models in the D’Angelico line, the Premier Series now contains five models: the grand auditorium Gramercy, OM Tammany, single-cutaway dreadnought Bowery, non-cutaway dreadnought Lexington, and 12-string Fulton. Now featuring antique hardware and three new finishes—Vintage Natural, Iced Tea Burst, and Black Cherry Burst—each with a solid spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides. Perhaps the most notable change to the line is the addition of a natural satin finish on the back of the neck, providing exceptional comfort and playability. Each comes fully equipped with the D’Angelico onboard preamp and tuner. Now available through select dealers at $499 MAP. Additionally, alongside each new model is a fourth variation bearing the “LS” suffix. Featuring a satin mahogany finish and more minimal features, the Gramercy LS, Tammany LS, Lexington LS, Bowery LS and Fulton LS are D’Angelico’s first true entry-level acoustic guitars. Each features chrome hardware and an onboard preamp and tuner. Available at $299 MAP, coming this January. 

Developed in direct response to customer feedback over the last two years, the Mini DC is a fourteen-inch-wide double cutaway semi-hollow boasting warm and punchy tone. Sibling of the crowd favorite DC, the Mini DC's undersized body, sleek headstock design and slim C-shape neck profile combine to create unprecedented comfort for every player.  In the Premier Series, the Mini DC comes equipped with Seymour Duncan Designed humbuckers, while its Excel Series counterpart features USA Seymour Duncan 59’s paired with coil-splitting push/pull tone knobs. In both series, the Mini DC offers rich, natural tone and sweet sustain by way of its full centerblock semi-hollow design, while its undersized body and headstock shape create perfect balance and more player comfort than ever before—ideal for the guitarist looking for an easy-to-wield instrument.  The Premier Mini DC is adorned with chrome hardware, vintage-inspired speed knobs, and a slim C-shape neck profile. Available in Ocean Turquoise, Champagne, and Fiesta Red. $799 MAP. The Excel Mini DC features gold hardware, Grover Imperial tuners, and an ebony fingerboard with split-block mother-of-pearl and abalone inlays. Available in Vintage Natural, Trans Cherry, and Black. $1799 MAP. 

Now available in the accessibly-priced Premier Series, the Premier Bob Weir Bedford features Weir's concept of a tonal powerhouse. Its electronics configuration is comprised of two Seymour Duncan Designed P-90s with a SC-101 single-coil nestled in the middle. A standard five-way blade makes tone control easy, while an added blender pot blends the neck and bridge pickups (or all three pickups in the notch positions) resulting in a remarkable variety of tones. A six-point tremolo offers total control over waves of vibrato. Available only in Matte Stone.

D’Angelico Guitars will unveil seven new Limited Edition products in its high-end Deluxe Series. Only 50 pieces of each new instrument will be offered worldwide. 

Incorporating details and design elements from John D’Angelico’s original archtops as they became more ornate throughout the 1940s, both the single-cutaway EXL-1 Throwback and non-cutaway Style B Throwback feature the new 7-ply scroll-style headstock design, macassar ebony headstock plate, ebony fingerboard, throwback f-holes, satin ebony pickguards, and two new finishes—Vintage Natural and Viola.

The golden-era archtop guitars made by John D’Angelico remain some of the most beautiful and ornate instruments ever made, but in the last decade, the company that bears his name has been reborn as a thoroughly modern guitar brand.

Doesn’t it really feel to you like it’s a whole story? It’s the real deal, it’s what should be happening to this guitar. And the value was always there, I don’t care if it was worth $1,000 or $100,000, to me it’s a complete story... You’re probably one of the few people your age who have an interest in classic [pieces] where you would actually move forward and buy something. I work in car restorations, tile fitting, and mason work and it’s a dying trade. You see generations pass and you tell someone this guitar was built by a luthier and I don’t think they know what it even means. - Mike Lettera

D'Angelico Guitars is proud to be the recipient of the 2019 Music Inc Product Excellence Award as featured in the December issue of Music Inc.

Leo Goh may seem like a relatively new face in Singapore’s music scene, but that’s only because the Musicians Institute graduate has been in LA for the past 6 years — first as a student and then a working musician. The young producer and guitar extraordinaire has been keeping himself busy since his return to Singapore last year. Leo runs his own studio, Soul Dot, joined funk outfit fingerfunk who took part in this year’s edition of the Noise Music Mentorship, and most recently became a member of the TENG Ensemble.

Born in NYC’s Little Italy, D’Angelico is widely regarded as one of the finest archtop guitar manufacturers of the 20th century. Nowadays, they make guitars of all shapes and sizes; all built with the same exceptional detail, mastery and flair that put them on the map.

Available in both the Premier and Deluxe Series, the Brandon Niederauer Atlantic signature model boasts high output in both sound and aesthetic. Imbued with the energy of one of music's most electrifying young players, the Niederauer Atlantic comes in a custom sonic blue finish paired with satin chrome hardware for an irresistible aesthetic. The Deluxe Series offering comes strapped with a Seymour Duncan custom DA-59 in the neck and an Antiquity humbucker in the bridge for searing vintage tone, while its Premier Series counterpart sports Duncan Designed humbuckers. Both boast c-shape neck profiles and sleek body design, guaranteeing performance comfort for players at every level. Both models are now available at select dealers. Premier

On an overcast Tuesday evening in March, Bob Weir and I settled into a few balcony seats at the Manhattan Center Ballroom in New York City to talk about our latest co-design — the new Deluxe Bob Weir Bedford, which had debuted three months prior at the Winter NAMM show, and two years after our first project, the Deluxe Bob Weir SS.  Bob had come straight from another shoot — an in-depth interview and portrait session with GQ. He sat down, slipped his Birkenstocks off, and cracked a Yerba Mate, seemingly relieved to now have the chance to talk solely about his greatest love and lifelong pursuit — the guitar. 

At first glance, the Deluxe Bob Weir Bedford is unassuming enough. Three knobs, three pickups, one five-way selector. But look a little closer, and the variety of tones quickly becomes expansive. Let’s start with the pickups. In the neck and bridge positions, a Seymour Duncan Stacked P-90. In the middle, a Lollar Blonde—“brighter than a thousand suns,” as Bob says. Easy enough, but it gets a bit complex from there.

Since D’angelico introduced its first solidbodies last year, we’ve been big fans of its fresh approach to guitar design, melding aspects of triedand-tested formats with inspiring new shapes. The Brighton is the latest to join the mid-priced Premier line-up and, although it looks to be the most conventional yet, the features it shares with its D’angelico brethren set it apart from the crowd. That shape, then: the Brighton’s horns echo a 335, but the body has a whiff of Yamaha’s SG2000 and Revstar outlines, albeit packing Florentine rather than Venetian cutaways, and a lighter weight owing to the basswood

The D'Angelico Premier SS Stopbar comes from a long-established company that is not necessarily known to every guitarist. But D'Angelico is undoubtedly a legend of archtop construction, and musicians like Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Bucky Pizzarelli, Chet Atkins, Joe Pass, Chuck Wayne and many others made the brand a cult. Founder of the company was John D'Angelico, who saw in 1905 as the son of Italian immigrants in New York the light of day. At just nine, he trained as a violin and mandolin maker with his great-uncle Raphael Ciani and continued to run the company for a few years after his death. In 1932 he founded his own company "D'Angelico Guitars" on Kenmare Street 40 in Manhattan.Here, the Archtop guitars were crafted together with only two other employees by hand - more custom shop does not work. In the 1930s, he made an annual number of 35 instruments. John died in 1964 at the age of only 59, whereupon his colleague Jimmy D'Aquisto continued the legacy until his death. The last D'Aquisto guitar was completed in 1996 by John Monteleone, then the brand fell into a deep sleep until 2011. The new owners expanded the assortment with solidbody and acoustic guitars as well as electric basses and moved part of the production to the Far East.

Renowned folk rock musician and guitarist Shakey Graves shares his thoughts on the all new D'Angelico Deluxe 175 hollow body.

Everything about this axe breathes attention to detail - from the pinstripe binding to the impeccable fret job and fast action neck. The classic ornamental D’Angelico headstock design and logo looks like a million bucks, as well as tying in nicely with the aesthetic F-hole pick guard and skyscraper designed truss rod cover, all nodding to the past while giving familiarity to a fresh new design.

The revived D’Angelico brand has come back like gangbusters since the introduction of its Asian-made archtop lineup in the early 2010s. Now the rapidly expanding range has been augmented by an impressive new selection of acoustics, three of which we dig into this issue. All in all, this trio of new offerings reveals a company that knows what it’s after, and is delivering great value and competitive performance at every price point. PREMIER KOA BOWERY Decked out in D’Angelico’s flagship Bowery single-cutaway dreadnought shape, the Premier Koa Bowery adds the beauty and complexity of a solid-koa top to the market’s most popular flat-top body style. The rippling grain of the koa in this one packs a lot of visual appeal, as does its nicely figured laminated-koa back and sides—all of which glow beneath a thin high-gloss finish. An abalone soundhole rosette and multiply binding add to the elegance quotient, as do pearloid blocks in the ovangkol fretboard and the traditional D’Angelico headstock bling, including a mirrored stairstep trussrod cover, pearl inlays, and house-brand Imperial-style tuners. One feature you don’t see, but which is just as important, is D’Angelico’s newly redesigned X-bracing, a proprietary top-bracing technique aimed toward a lively and powerful response. The neck is a three-piece mahogany construction, with a scarfed headstock joint that runs behind the first to third frets, a built-up heel block, and a gentle volute behind the nut. With a comfortable slim-C profile, and built to a 25" scale length with a 14" fingerboard radius and a 1 11/16” width at the nut, it’s extremely comfortable in the hand without cramping finger space for flatpicking or fingerstyle alike. The action on this example rises just a hair higher toward the upper frets than I’d like to see, but a minor correction at the bridge saddle (a standard part of most dealers’ setup process) would easily cure that. D’Angelico equips this one with their preamp to partner the under-saddle piezo pickup, with 3-band EQ, volume, and a built-in tuner. And rather than the standard end-pin jack, the guitar has a jack block located near the bottom edge of the lower bout, where you’d normally find it on an electric guitar, which includes convenient access to the 9V battery. While construction is excellent for an acoustic in this price range, I’m possibly even more impressed by the tone of this Premier Koa Bowery. It has the big, bovine girth and projection of a good dreadnought, but the crisp detail and the koa’s sonic complexity and harmonic sparkle take it above and beyond what you’d typically expect from a flattop in this price range. It all translates well through a preamp that’s very serviceable for a guitar of this caliber, too, making it a handy plug-and-play package for any acoustic artist needing a stage-ready instrument with a powerful voice whether amped or au naturel. PREMIER TAMMANY D’Angelico calls this new orchestra-bodied Premier Tammany their “portal to the past,” a nod to a look that recalls a road-worn and well-loved blues beater. This model’s relatively compact OM shape is given a slightly shallower body depth for a guitar that’s very huggable, all rendered with a solid mahogany top and laminated mahogany back and sides. It wears an open-pore satin finish that D’Angelico calls “Aged Mahogany,” but which might equally have been dubbed “fire-sale sunburst.” Either way, it’s a look that screams “play me hard!” Scale and neck proportions are the same as on the Bowery, as are the neck’s three-piece construction and the pearl-oid block inlays—albeit in a lighter-colored ovangkol fretboard this time. The headstock retains the fancy inlays too, although the more austere dress elsewhere makes sense given the worn aesthetic, with the unbound body, simple black-and-white soundhole purfling, and bronze-finished tuners and trussrod cover all reinforcing the concept. The somewhat smaller, shallower body and mahogany top add up to a more midrange-focused sound from the Tammany, but it still has decent power for an OM-sized guitar. The combination keeps the tone rich and warm, and altogether it sketches a quick reminder of why so many acoustic-blues players have enjoyed this combination. It’s a meaty voice with more plunk, snap, and compression than that of the big Bowery dreadnought, and plenty of burnished character besides, all from a guitar that makes a great blues box. There’s no pickup system on this one, so you take it as it comes or modify it to suit your needs. PREMIER NIAGARA The travel-sized Premier Niagara is a downsized-dreadnought style guitar that nevertheless boasts a full-sized neck and 14-fret neck joint at a scale length that’s reduced just a hair to 24 ¼”. So you don’t have to downsize your playing technique too much when you’re out on the open road, kicking back on the beach, crooning round the campfire, or enjoying this portable instrument wherever it might come in handy. The solid spruce top on this one has a fine, tightly spaced grain, and the bound body (laminated mahogany back and sides), fretboard, and headstock—along with the traditional D’Angelico headstock appointments—add a touch of class to the travel genre. The mahogany neck has the same three-piece construction as the others, with the same slim-C profile too, and its ovangkol fretboard carries simple dot inlays. D’Angelico’s proprietary preamp (with 3-band EQ, volume, and tuner) also graces this model. The Niagara might not have quite the sonic depth or richness of a full-bodied flat-top, but the volume and projection are impressive for its size, and it boasts a lively and well-balanced tone overall. There’s a hair of that archetypal travel-guitar “plinkiness” when you strum it hard, and the vibrational energy overwhelms the structure ever so slightly—but less than I’ve found in many other compact and/or shorter-scale models, and it has an appealingly round, full low-end response that belies its size. Overall it’s a cool and likeable little road buddy that acquits itself well even up against many full-sized acoustics in its price range. https://www.guitarplayer.com/frets/dangelico-premier-koa-bowery-premier-tammany-and-premier-niagra

Now for 2018, the Excel EXL-1 boasts new features to bolster both tone and aesthetics. A Johnny Smith Mini-humbucker offers even more organic, warm archtop tone, while split-block inlays and a scroll-style fingerboard bevel harken back to the days of Art Deco decadence.

Brand new to the line will be the DC 12-string, a twelve-string semi-hollow electric boasting remarkable playability and tone at an impressively accessible price point.

Following a landmark year where Premier Series acoustics skyrocketed in popularity and success, the line sees a host of upgrades and additions for 2018.

With a sound as large as its namesake, the Premier Atlantic is a powerful single-cutaway solid-body. Strapped with two Seymour Duncan Designed humbuckers, the Atlantic is perfectly suited for full, loud tones—but two push/pull tone knobs for coil-tapping also offer exceptional single-coil sounds. Designed with your shoulder-ache in mind, a deep belly cut and thinner body depth keep the Atlantic lightweight while still offering tremendous sustain. Available in antique white, black, and army green.

The first design in D'Angelico's all-new trio of solid-bodies, the Premier Bedford is a sleek, lightweight offset worthy of carving out its territory in the solid-body landscape. Strapped with Seymour Duncan Designed pickups, the Bedford's stacked single-coil neck pickup and bridge humbucker offer a balanced range of tones—from single-coil spank to humbucker warmth, plus push/pull tone knobs for coil-tapping. Black finish available with maple fingerboard and 6-point tremolo. https://dangelicoguitars.com/guitars/premier-series/premier-bedford/#DAPBEDAGCS

The flagship design in D'Angelico's all-new trio of solid-bodies, the Deluxe Bedford is a speedy offset that looks like it was plucked from the sixties. Strapped with Seymour Duncan pickups, the Bedford's stacked single-coil neck pickup offers crystalline clarity without sacrificing output. Settled in the middle position, the Bedford sounds remarkably balanced—both full and bright, paired perfectly with a pau ferro fingerboard. Black finish available with maple fingerboard and 6-point tremolo.

Introducing the Deluxe Ludlow—a striking offset that stands alone as the first of its kind. Built with maximum playability in mind, the Ludlow's unique body shape allows for effortless access to the highest frets, while a slim C-shape neck guarantees comfort. Seymour Duncan 59 humbuckers and coil-tapping push/pull tone knobs bring the versatility, allowing the Ludlow to offer a remarkable range of sounds and sweet sustain from its oversized body shape.

Yes, absolutely. As I mentioned, I don’t believe the guitar market is dying at all—it’s just evolving. It’s becoming a reflection of a changing music and business culture where only those who have their finger on the pulse of all that evolution survive.

NEW YORK—February 2018—At the 2018 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, D’Angelico Guitars displayed their entire product line—including a huge number of new product offerings. The booth also hosted dozens of artist performances, featuring stars like Bob Weir, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Isaiah Sharkey, Brandon “Taz” Niederauer, and more. The brand handed out more than 2,000 free sets of their Electrozinc strings and over 7,000 attendees signed up to participate in D’Angelico’s guitar giveaway. Congratulations to our winner, Curt Henderson from Canada! New Products For the first time in the company’s 85-year history, D’Angelico Guitars debuted their all-new line of solid-body electric guitars at the 2018 Winter NAMM Show—and the positive feedback was overwhelming. Designed in New York City over the course of 2017, the designs balance D’Angelico’s largely semi-hollow and hollowbody product line as feedback-resistant instruments with tremendous sustain and tonal versatility while still maintaining the aesthetics and craftsmanship that define the brand. Introduced as a collection sharing cosmetic features and similar electronics setups, the Bedford, Ludlow and Atlantic will be available in both the Premier and Deluxe Series to ensure accessibility for a range of players. Premier Series solid-bodies start at $699 MAP; Deluxe Series solid-bodies start at $1199 MAP. Available at all D’Angelico authorized dealers March 2018. D’Angelico also premiered new additions to each of its three series: Premier, Excel and Deluxe. The Premier Series saw the addition of the all-new ocean turquoise finish on electric models, as well as the new DC 12-string string semi-hollow, and two new acoustic models—the mini-dreadnought Niagara and the aged natural Bowery. For the Excel Series, new electronics and aesthetic updates for the flagship EXL-1 archtop and DC semi-hollow models. And six bold new finishes were debuted in the Deluxe Series.

After a markedly successful year of offering its first batch of Limited Edition finishes, D’Angelico Guitars will be adding six stunning new options to its Deluxe Series: Royal Blue, Electric Yellow, Rose Pink, Rose Gold, Silver, and Chameleon. These additions further expand the line’s modern-meets-vintage aesthetic, featuring bold colors paired with old-school D’Angelico Art Deco appointments.

At the 2018 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, D’Angelico Guitars will be debuting three all-new solid-body electric guitars, marking their true foray into the world of solid-bodies for the first time in the company’s 85-year history. Designed in New York City over the course of 2017, the solid-body designs aim to balance D’Angelico’s largely semi-hollow and hollowbody product line by providing a feedback-resistant option with tremendous sustain and tonal versatility. Being introduced as a collection sharing aesthetic features and similar electronics setups, the Bedford, Ludlow and Atlantic will be available in both the Premier and Deluxe Series to ensure accessibility for a range of players. Premier Series solid-bodies start at $699 MAP; Deluxe Series solid-bodies start at $1199 MAP. Available at all D’Angelico authorized dealers March, 2018. Bearing the torch as the first model designed for the trio, the Bedford is a speedy offset that looks like it was plucked from the sixties. Strapped with Seymour Duncan pickups, the Bedford's stacked single-coil neck pickup offers spank, while the bridge humbucker brings the warmth. Settled in the middle position, the Bedford sounds remarkably balanced—both full and bright. Black finish available with maple neck and six-point tremolo bridge. At once familiar and all-new, the Atlantic is a powerful single-cutaway solid-body. Strapped with two Seymour Duncan humbuckers, the Atlantic appears to be built for full, loud tones at first glance—but two push/pull tone knobs for coil-tapping offer exceptional single-coil tones as well. A deep belly cut and thinner body depth keep the Atlantic lightweight, while the slim-C neck shape guarantees playability. Perhaps the most unique in the trio, the Ludlow is a striking offset that stands alone as the first of its kind. Built with maximum playability in mind, the Ludlow's unique body shape allows for effortless access to the highest frets, while a slim c-shape neck guarantees comfort. Seymour Duncan humbuckers and coil-tapping push/pull tone knobs bring the versatility, allowing the Ludlow to offer a range of sounds and remarkable sustain from its oversized body shape.

D’Angelico Electrozinc strings are technically a new product, having been released in 2016, but the truth is, their origins go back much farther. A collaboration between famed John D’Angelico and string innovator John D’Addario, Electrozinc strings were first produced in the late 1930s using “Bethanized” steel from the Bethlehem (PA) Steel Corporation. Though production stopped in the 1960s, the Johns’ two companies have partnered once again to recreate that classic formula as closely as possible.

A few guitar companies have used the term “deluxe” rather haphazardly in the past for instruments that didn’t quite live up to the definition of that word, but by naming their penultimate product line the Deluxe Series (surpassed only by the Master Builder series), D’Angelico has boldly taken that term back to its intended meaning.

Moved by Leamy’s selflessness and sharing his passion for aiding the homeless, D’Angelico Guitars jumped at the opportunity to provide instruments for the homeless musicians Leamy has met through his program. “When I first met John Glen (one of the homeless musicians Leamy has befriended), he said ‘It would really mean the world to me to have just a few minutes to play your instrument. It calms me down. It’s like oxygen,’” says Leamy. “I called John to meet me so he could jam. But what I didn’t tell him was that D’Angelico was kind enough to donate a guitar for him to keep!” Leamy kept the gift a surprise until they met in person.
