Beautifully Designed 12-string Acoustic-electric from D'Angelico
In an effort to bring 12-string acoustic guitar players both incredible comfort as well as wonderful tone, D'Angelico introduces their first 12-string acoustic-electric: the Premier Fulton. This Grand Auditorium acoustic features a smaller, 16-inch-wide all-mahogany body for stellar tone that delivers robust bass and shiny high end. A gorgeous mahogany neck with torrefied merbau fingerboard offers wonderful playability and response. When you're ready to plug in, a D'Angelico MG-30 Preamp/Tuner kicks out rich, amplified acoustic tone. If you've been searching for that classic, chimey 12-string sound, the Premier Fulton delivers!

A neck made to play!
The mahogany neck on the Premier Fulton has been cut to a player-friendly slim "C"-shape. The "C"-shape profile is a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater, and for good reason. Its contours are beautifully matched to the natural curvature of your palm, making chording and lead playing easier. In addition, this smooth neck also features 20 medium jumbo frets along the merbau fingerboard, adding to the comfort and ease of forming chords and laying down lead lines. And with the deep cutaway, you get easy access to higher notes and creative chordings.
A legacy of excellence
Manhattan's Little Italy, 1932. John D'Angelico opens a shop at 40 Kenmare Street offering handcrafted acoustics for New York's jazz players. Over the next three decades, D'Angelico and a single apprentice became New York's foremost builders and created over one thousand treasured archtop guitars until John D'Angelico's death in 1964. Following his passing, 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 their New York roots. Today, D'Angelico uses state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the best materials available to create playable works of art for today's guitarist. From a one-off shop in Little Italy to the world stage, D'Angelico's dedication to quality craftsmanship ensures that this brand won't be going dormant any time soon.
