Its semi-hollow maple body yields a bright, resonant sound with loads of bite and sustain, while a solid center block ensures feedback-free performance. From jazz-tinged cleans to high-gain distortion, the Premier DC can serve up just about any tone you can think of, making it a suitable choice for an endless variety of musical genres. Getting around this electric guitar’s comfortable “C”-shaped neck feels effortless, and its fast-and-smooth 14-inch-radius fingerboard is a pleasure to play. The Premier DC boasts plenty of eye-catching aesthetic touches, including a 5-ply Scalini pickguard, mother-of-pearl block fingerboard inlays, multi-ply binding, and ebony control knobs. If you’re hunting for a fun-to-play semi-hollowbody, pick up a D’Angelico Premier DC.
The Premier DC comes loaded with a set of classic-sounding chrome-covered D’Angelico humbuckers. Both pickups use calibrated alnico magnets and vintage-inspired winding specs to provide workhorse tones. Jazz-tinged cleans are imbued with warm soul. Pushing levels to the limit can quickly drive your amp into overdrive, and the clean fidelity makes a potent platform for dirt pedals if you indulge in high-gain distortion and grit. A 3-way toggle allows for easy pickup switching, and each pickup features its own volume and tone knob for maximum tonal versatility. Moreover, control pots are capped with striking ebony knobs for an all-natural look with serious retro appeal.
