D'Angelico - Premier Bowery LS Aged Mahogany

New York has always fostered a special relationship between the instrument maker and the street, and the D’Angelico Premier Bowery LS Aged Mahogany bears this hallmark right down to its name. Its Aged Mahogany satin finish evokes instruments that have lived a full life, without ever mimicking an artificial patina.

The single-cutaway Dreadnought body opens up access to the higher registers on a neck designed to let you reach them without hesitation. The laminated mahogany top, sides and back form a cohesive soundbox, where the bass remains solid and the midrange stays warm, supported by X-Scalloped bracing that allows the wood to breathe.

The mahogany neck, with a dovetail joint, features a C-shaped profile that fits comfortably in the palm, secured by a dual-action truss rod adjustable via the soundhole. The torrefied merbau fingerboard responds with a crisp feel under the fingers; its 304.8 mm radius allows for wide chords across 20 Medium Jumbo frets, whilst the PPS nut transmits vibration without loss.

The torrefied merbau Stairstep bridge and Stairstep Wave tuners create a distinctive visual identity, whilst the D’Angelico MG-30 preamp with built-in tuner connects the instrument directly, whether on stage or in the studio, with D’Addario EXP-16 (12-53) fitted as standard.
