You Won't Find This Semi-Hollow Anywhere Else
Sweetwater and D'Angelico have teamed up to design a guitar with unmatched tonal and visual appeal. This Sweetwater exclusive D'Angelico Premier Mini DC features upgraded pickups, locking tuners, and figured tonewoods that you won't find on any other Premier Mini DC. The Premier Mini DC's smaller body is extremely comfortable and yields a bright, rich sound with loads of bite and sustain. Thanks to the solid center block, you'll get feedback-free performance. The tone is generated by a pair of USA-made Seymour Duncan humbuckers — SH-2n Jazz in the neck and SH-4 JB in the bridge. As such, it can serve up a smorgasbord of tones, from jazzy cleans to full shred. Navigating this guitar's comfortable, fast C-shaped neck is effortless, as your fingers dance on its smooth bound ovangkol fingerboard. If you're on the hunt for a cross-genre do-it-all semi that will ace any live gig or studio session, the D'Angelico Premier Mini DC is the one you're after.

Reduced-size body, fast neck, and silky fingerboard
Playing the D’Angelico Deluxe Premier Mini DC is sheer joy. It features a reduced-size laminated maple body with laminated maple top and a solid center block for maximum tone and sustain. Its maple neck boasts a comfortable C profile for the perfect blend of grip and ease of movement. Its 14-inch-radius fingerboard features 22 medium vintage frets. This silky smooth ovangkol fretboard enables comfortable chording while facilitating technically demanding leads. The instrument’s easy hand feel is a byproduct of its 25-inch scale length, which makes bends and vibrato feel effortless, while its double cutaway body shape gives you optimized high-register access. For rock-solid tuning stability, the Premier Mini DC is equipped with locking tuners, while a custom PPS nut bolsters sustain and eliminates string binding.
Seymour Duncan USA pickups deliver vintage humbucking tone
The D’Angelico Premier Mini DC comes loaded with a set of genuine Seymour Duncan humbuckers. These vintage-inspired pickups are great all-rounders that deliver warm, full-bodied humbucking tone with a crystalline clarity. For jazz and blues, the SH-2n neck pickup is your best friend. When you need old-school southern rock, flip on the bridge pickup and go to town. This potent sonic elixir is routed through a 3-way toggle switch and per-pickup volume and tone controls. From jazz and fusion to blues, rock, and country — and everything in between — the D’Angelico Premier Mini DC delivers.
The D’Angelico legacy
After mastering his craft during an 18-year apprenticeship, luthier John D’Angelico opened his own shop in Manhattan’s Little Italy in 1932. Catering to New York’s many jazz musicians over the ensuing three decades, D’Angelico and a single apprentice became New York’s foremost stringed instrument builders, creating over one thousand treasured archtop guitars until John’s death in 1964. After his passing, the D’Angelico’s legacy lived on only through his rare, legendary instruments. After decades, the D’Angelico brand has resurfaced, bringing back the playability and attention to detail of the company’s New York roots. Today, Sweetwater is delighted to offer this fine line of distinguished instruments. D’Angelico uses state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the finest available materials to create playable works of art for today’s guitarist. From a modest shop in Little Italy to the world stage, D’Angelico’s dedication to quality craftsmanship ensures that this brand won’t be going dormant again any time soon.

So Sweet!
Absolutely stunning
Impeccable design build!
The painting of the sunburst is also matched exactly on the sides too.
The setup for playability was spot on. Thanks Sweetwater.
It sounds so sweet thanks to great use of the two Seymour Duncan pickups.
I can't believe that you get all that at such a great price.
Anyone should be glad to add this to their collection.
D'Angelico Premier Mini DC XT
In my opinion the only issue is the balance of the guitar. While the locking Imperial style tuners both look and function very well, they do make the headstock a bit heavy, so use a good grippy strap and problem solved.
All in all worth every nickel !
Very early review
It has a gloss finish but not at all sticky.
The top finish unfortunately is not as good as the photos (though pleasantly flamy). It is a brighter amber, almost yellow, with B- bookmatching. If you're getting one of these, I'd suggest picking the one that looks the darkest in its photos.
The gig bag is bare minimum and doesn't really open enough at the bottom.
Bottom line, at the clearance price, I would definitely buy this again. At regular price, maybe.
This is my first purchase from Sweetwater and it won't be the last. As nice as instant gratification at the local is, the fact that someone has inspected it and knowing I won't have to deal with returning for defects is well worth waiting a few days.
