D'Angelico - Deluxe Atlantic Baritone Solid Black

A scale length of 679.5 mm is a game-changer: on the D’Angelico Deluxe Atlantic Baritone, this extended scale length stretches the strings towards a rich, almost orchestral low register. The solid alder body, with a simple cutaway silhouette finished in glossy Solid Black, absorbs low frequencies without muffling them; its depth of 41.3 mm and width of 336.6 mm keep the instrument compact despite the width of the neck. The two Seymour Duncan Seth Lover A4 humbuckers, featuring Alnico IV magnets and four-conductor wiring, with gold-coloured covers, translate this tension into a brassy rumble, warm both under the fingers and through the amp.

The three-piece neck, with a C-profile and satin finish, moulds to the palm along its entire length, tapering gradually from 20 mm at the first fret to 22 mm at the twelfth. The ebony fingerboard, with a radius of 355.6 mm, allows your fingers to glide smoothly down to the lower registers without snagging, supported by twenty-two Jescar nickel-silver frets and a double-action truss rod that stabilises this extra tension. A Tusq nut and Grover 509 Super Rotomatic locking tuners ensure that the baritone tuning holds firm with D’Addario 14-68 strings.

The gold-plated Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece transmit the energy of the bass strings with clarity, whilst the F-hole-style tortoiseshell pickguard and seven-ply body binding lend it a understated look. Supplied in a Deluxe hard case, this baritone guitar comes into its own with heavy riffs, drop tuning and cinematic textures.
