BOLD SEMI-HOLLOW VERSATILITY

Equal parts modern and classic, the Premier DC is a versatile double-cutaway semi-hollow offering a huge range of tones. Driven by Supro's take on coveted vintage PAF humbuckers, dual Bolt Buckers provide a sweet, focused mid-range and vivid high-end, yielding a balanced and bold tone. The DC's 16-inch-wide body offers remarkable sustain while a modern, slim neck shape with a seamless heel transition offers standout comfort. Equally suited across genres, the Premier DC's tones are as diverse as they are rich—from round, clean jazz to bright, searing rock. Additional features include Grover tuners, a Graph Tech nut, and four ebony knobs for tone-tailoring. Now available in Brown Burst, Dark Iced Tea Burst, and Black Flake.

BUILT FOR VERSATILITY

A curvaceous, double-cutaway semi-hollow with a full-sized yet lightweight center block, the DC is D’Angelico’s preeminent semi-hollow design.

BOLT BUCKERS ON BOARD

Custom 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.

PREMIUM UPGRADES

Grover Tuners, a Graph Tech nut, and four ebony tone knobs for precise tone tailoring offer elevated playability and greater player comfort than ever before.

CLASSIC D’ANGELICO AESTHETIC
