D'Angelico announces limited edition Deluxe Series guitars with premium tonewoods and all-new finishes
Seymour Duncan and TV Jones pickups, versatile switching options... These are workhorse electrics in show pony dress
D'Angelico has updated its Deluxe Series with seven limited edition electric guitars in three very cool Matte Charcoal, Matte Walnut and Matte Surf Green finishes.
The finishes are all-new for the New York-based company, but these updated Atlantic, Brighton, Bedford SH, DC, SS, 175, and Mini DC models have a whiff of the occasion about them, with only 50 units of each being produced.
There are a number of premium appointments on the Deluxe Limited Edition models. We've got the little things, details such as Jescar medium-jumbo fretwire, MOP headstock shield and logo, and MOP/Abalone split block inlay on the fingerboard. Then you've got the big deal, big ticket specs, such as Seymour Duncan and TV Jones pickups.
Under the hood, pickup circuits are wired with 500k pots, with push/pull coil splits on the humbucker-equipped models. Elsewhere, you've got locking Grover Rotomatic tuners, body binding, 5-ply guards, and all in all a versatile range of instruments.
They Deluxe Series Limited Edition models are priced $,1499 and are available now in the US, shipping worldwide in November.

“A unique octave bass fuzz with a built-in, 2-voice ring modulator”: The Maestro BB-1 Brassmaster is a super-rare bass octave fuzz from the ‘70s that sounds great on guitar, sells for $2,000+, and Behringer just made a $69 clone of it
“Maintain a consistently optimal neck setup, playability, and string action, regardless of changing environmental conditions”: Has Furch just made acoustic guitar setups a thing of the past with its new CNR System Active neck?
