The Premier SS embodies the elegance of the D’Angelico name in both looks and tone. Featuring custom humbuckers voiced to suit its 15-inch-wide semi-hollow body, the SS offers warm, vivid tone that ranges effortlessly from sweet cleans to warm grit. A supremely comfortable slim C neck shape welcomes both new and seasoned players, while a lightweight centerblock keeps feedback at bay and aids in sustain. Its single-cutaway body design strikes the balance between archtop elegance and modern semi-hollow versatility. Four ebony knobs allow for fine-tuned tone-tailoring. Now available in Brown Burst, Dark Iced Tea Burst, Solid Black, Burnt Red, and Surf Green.
Classic Meets Modern
A curvaceous and compact single-cutaway semi-hollow with a full-sized yet lightweight center block, the SS is DAngelicos preeminent semi-hollow design. Available in figured maple or standard maple.
Warm, Full-bodied Tone
Available with standard DAngelico Humbuckers or custom-voiced Supro Bolt Buckers tailored specifically for the DC provide bold, vintage-inspired clarity with extra warmth in the mid-range on both clean and saturated tones.
Quality Components
Robust hardware, tuning machines with a 14:1 gear ratio, and custom ebony knobs contribute premium feel and trustworthy quality.
Classic DAngelico Aesthetic
Several years after its debut, the Premier Series now features classic DAngelico aesthetics and signature details. A focus on clean lines, smart textures and Art Deco flourishes imbues each instrument with the warmth and sleekness of New York City music history.
