The new dark satin finish not only gives the models a smooth feel, but also a mature, rustic look right out of the gate. It's available on the Premier Gramercy LS, Premier Bowery LS, Premier Tammany LS, Premier Lexington LS and Premier Fulton LS.
The Premier LS Acoustic models are entry-level acoustic-electric guitars, equipped with D'Angelico's MG-30 preamp and pickup. The guitars also feature a Slim C neck profile and a carved X-brace, which will provide extra low end.
The Premier Gramercy LS is a single-cutaway, a versatile mid-sized acoustic. The Premier Bowery LS is a dreadnought with a deep single cutaway for access to the high frets.
Also, unveiled last year, the Premier Tammany LS is the series' first OM (orchestra) guitar. The smaller dimensions are popular with finger pickers and emphasize the midrange frequencies.
The new dark satin finish not only gives the models a smooth feel.
The Premier Lexington LS is a dreadnought, ideal for players who favor rich, open cowboy chords. Last but not least in the series is the Premier Fulton LS. It's a 12-string grand auditorium with a single cutaway for easy access to the high frets.
Every Premier LS Acoustic guitar comes at the same price of $299.99.
A few words about the company
The company is based in Manhattan, New York. The brand was originally founded by master luthier John D'Angelico in 1932, in Manhattan's Little Italy. In 1999, Steve Pisani, John Ferolito Jr. and Brenden Cohen bought the D'Angelico Guitars trademark. Cohen serves as the brand's President and CEO. The original D'Angelico guitars are collector's items and have been used by musicians such as Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Bucky Pizzarelli, Chet Atkins and Chuck Wayne. And the D'Angelico Mel Bay New Yorker model graced the cover of Mel Bay's guitar method books for decades.
In 2011, D'Angelico guitars were included in the "Guitar Heroes" exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
