D'Angelico - Premier Brighton Blake Flake
D'Angelico Premier Brighton Black Flake At D’Angelico, the Premier Brighton Black Flake features a solid basswood body crafted for clarity. A slim C-shaped scarf-joined maple neck, an ovangkol fingerboard and a pair of chrome-plated Seymour Duncan Designed pickups deliver a crisp, punchy attack, making it ideal for both the stage and the studio.
Presentation
The ovangkol fingerboard, edged with three-ply binding and featuring White Pearloid Block inlays, spans a radius of 355.6 mm and twenty-two Medium Vintage Nickel Silver frets, set on a 42.86 mm wide PPS nut. The Grover 109 Super Rotomatic tuning machines, chrome-plated like the rest of the hardware, keep the guitar in tight tuning. The standard headstock features the D’Angelico New York logo and the Premier mother-of-pearl shield, a Cupola headpin and three-ply binding.
Two Seymour Duncan Designed humbuckers – an HB-102 at the neck and an HB-101 at the bridge, both with chrome covers – enrich the tonal character and make a strong impression, controlled by two volume controls, two push/pull tone controls and a three-position selector switch, all fitted with 500k potentiometers. A chrome-plated Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece anchor the vibration, beneath a five-ply F-Hole Cream Pearl pickguard and black backplate, with four Speed Knobs. Electrozinc 10-46 strings, chrome strap buttons, standard mono jack output, gig bag included. Made in Indonesia, serial number engraved on the back.

Spotlight on
D'Angelico is a New York brand of electric guitars that has existed since 1938. First went unnoticed because the guitars were manufactured only by hand in a very small workshop by two luthiers; it is in 2011, at a show at the New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, that D'Angelico is noticed. Since then, D'Angelico guitars have been a real success thanks to their quality of manufacture and their price.
