Frequently Asked Questions
Splitting the pickups yields a brighter, more Fender-like single-coil tone, adding versatility but slightly reducing the characteristic D'Angelico warmth.
The narrow 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might prefer a slightly thicker neck.
The build quality is excellent; the binding work is clean, the hardware is premium, and the overall feel is solid, placing it among the better instruments in its premium-priced bracket.
