A sophisticated semi-hollow with custom voiced pickups for balanced tone.
The D'Angelico Premier SS semi-hollow electric guitar provides a stylish blend of classic and contemporary design with pro-level tone and playability. Its single-cutaway body made of laminated maple features a slimline centerblock that reduces feedback while boosting sustain. The set maple neck's comfortable C profile and 22-fret walnut fingerboard ensure effortless soloing and complex chords. For versatile tone, two humbucking pickups can be blended using the three-way toggle switch and shaped with individual volume and tone controls for the neck and bridge pickups.
Versatile Semi-Hollow Design
The SS's semi-hollow maple body with centerblock construction produces airy, open tone with controllable feedback. The centerblock enhances clarity and sustain while inhibiting excess resonance. Two large f-holes further expand the sound. With a thinline depth and single cutaway for easy upper-fret access, this sophisticated design suits styles from jazz to rock and many more. Its blend of elegance and versatility will make the SS a lifelong musical companion.
Vintage-Style Hardware
Premium hardware appointments complete the Premier SS's elegant aesthetic and vintage vibe. A tune-o-matic bridge and stop tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and enhanced sustain. Ebony control knobs and pickup covers, as well as D'Angelico's trademark stairstep tuners, nickel hardware and tortoiseshell pickguard offer a touch of Art Deco class.
Premium Pickups for Distinctive Tone
The Premier SS comes equipped with a pair of D'Angelico humbucking pickups—a warm, full-bodied neck pickup and a hot, articulate bridge pickup. These custom pickups were specifically designed to match the SS model's semi-hollow body, producing a vivid tone that ranges from bright, shimmering highs to a rich low end. Blend the pickups to find your perfect balance of clarity and girth for any genre.
Appealing Aesthetics and Playability
With gold hardware, a tortoiseshell pickguard and mother-of-pearl block inlays, the SS resonates with uptown style. Its slim, rounded neck profile and 14" fingerboard radius feel sleek and fast. The sturdy tune-o-matic bridge and stop tailpiece provide stable intonation and tuning. Together with the SS's lightweight, resonant build, these features make playing a fluid and inspiring experience at any fret.
