Every guitarist wants their instrument to stand out from the crowd. At Sweetwater, we've found that the D'Angelico Premier Bowery LS does that and a whole lot more!

The comfortable mahogany neck and merbau fingerboard encourage hours of effortless playing. Plus, onboard D'Angelico electronics — with an onboard tuner — make gigging an absolute walk in the park. If you seek a great-sounding instrument with a striking satin finish, there's no better option than the D'Angelico Premier Bowery LS.

Onboard electronics make gigging easy
Toting your D'Angelico Premier Bowery to a gig? Chances are that you'll be plugging in instead of miking up. The Premier Bowery LS is equipped with onboard electronics for hassle-free gigging. The under-saddle pickup and D'Angelico MG-30 preamp capture an accurate picture of your sound and transmit it to the audience. A 3-band EQ and master volume control give you total control over your tone when you're onstage; a simple onboard tuner will keep you sounding your best in a live performance setting. There's also a phase switch for helping to reduce feedback.
Comfortable neck carve
One of the features that sets a D'Angelico acoustic apart from the rest is a slim, comfortable neck. While other acoustics can leave you feeling like you're playing a baseball bat, the Premier Bowery's "C"-shape neck carve feels completely unique. That's because the neck profile has the same depth as D'Angelico's top-of-the-line electric guitars, promoting playability and encouraging you to reach new musical heights. You'll also appreciate the smooth-as-silk satin neck finish and medium-jumbo frets.
The D’Angelico legacy
After mastering his craft during an 18-year apprenticeship, luthier John D’Angelico opened his own shop in Manhattan’s Little Italy in 1932. Catering to New York’s many jazz musicians over the ensuing three decades, D’Angelico and a single apprentice became New York’s foremost stringed instrument builders, creating over one thousand treasured archtop guitars until John’s death in 1964. After his passing, the D’Angelico’s legacy lived on only through his rare, legendary instruments. After decades, the D’Angelico brand has resurfaced, bringing back the playability and attention to detail of the company’s New York roots. Today, Sweetwater is delighted to offer this fine line of distinguished instruments. D’Angelico uses state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the finest available materials to create playable works of art for today’s guitarist. From a modest shop in Little Italy to the world stage, D’Angelico’s dedication to quality craftsmanship ensures that this brand won’t be going dormant again any time soon.
