D'Angelico - Premier Fulton LS Aged Mahogany 12 cordes

Twelve strings double each note, and on the Fulton LS, this doubling is given a stable framework: the single-cutaway Grand Auditorium body, crafted from laminated mahogany for the top, sides and back, withstands the tension without flinching. The scalloped X-bracing distributes this load across the entire body, whilst the three-ring ABS rosette frames the top in a satin-finished Aged Mahogany hue, weathered to look like an instrument that has seen better days.
The Scarf mahogany neck, fitted with a dovetail joint, features a satin-finished C-profile, with the thickness rising gently from 20 mm at the first fret to 22 mm at the twelfth. The roasted merbau fingerboard, with a radius of 304.8 mm, features twenty Medium Jumbo frets and acrylic pearl inlays, whilst a double-action truss rod, adjustable at the rosette, manages the tension of the 647.7 mm scale length. The torrefied merbau Stairstep bridge and PPS saddles (47.6 mm at the headstock, bridge) transmit the energy from the twelve D’Addario EXP-38 strings to the top without dispersing it.
The chrome-finished Stairstep Wave Mini tuners keep each pair of strings aligned. On the front panel, the D’Angelico MG-30 preamp features a tuner and direct EQ, with simple controls to switch from the living room to the stage without worrying about feedback from the doubled strings.
