D'Angelico - Premier Fulton Natural 12 cordes

Twelve strings singing in unison – that’s what the Fulton Natural, the latest addition to D’Angelico’s Premier series, has to offer. The solid spruce top carries this harmonic richness with a rare consistency across the entire spectrum, from mellow bass to crystalline treble. The single-cutaway Grand Auditorium body shape provides easy access to the higher frets – a real bonus for those who like to venture high up the neck without having to contort themselves.
The laminated sapelli sides and back encase this top in a stable body, whilst the carved X-bracing distributes vibrations with a generous response. The double-ring ‘Wine’ rosette is the instrument’s visual hallmark, alongside the tortoiseshell Stairstep pickguard, which evokes the historic D’Angelico archtops. The bone bridge and saddles, with a nut width of 47.6 mm, keep each string firmly in place along the scale length.
The Scarf-jointed mahogany neck, with a dovetail joint and C-profile, features a rosewood fingerboard with a 355.6 mm radius, set with 20 Medium Jumbo frets and acrylic diamond-shaped inlays. The Stairstep Wave tuners in an antique bronze finish hold the tuning of all twelve strings without faltering.
On stage, the Fishman Presys VT preamp reproduces that woody tone without altering the original acoustic texture. Fitted with D’Addario EXP-38 strings as standard: this twelve-string is perfect for folk, pop and ballads that fill an entire venue.
