Body: there is some finish cracking/slight separation along the edge of the top along the treble side of the lower bout; top, back, and sides show some noticeable scuff marks, scratches, dings, and dents--moderate to heavy buckle rash; the binding is completely intact
Neck, Fretboard, and Headstock: the fretboard looks virtually flawless, and all the binding is completely intact; the back of the neck has a few small scratches and tiny dings that should not affect comfort or playability; the front facing of the headstock looks virtually flawless and all the binding is intact, but the back of the headstock has a couple of scuff marks and the very end edges and sides have some obvious scrapes
Action and Playability: the action is about medium, plus the neck is straight, the truss rod functions flawlessly, and there is no bridge lift or neck heel separation
Frets: light to moderate wear with some small grooves just starting to form on the first fret
Hardware: all looks fantastic
Electronics: all functions flawlessly
Includes: 12-stringacoustic-electric guitar
In an effort to bring 12-string acoustic guitar players both incredible comfort as well as wonderful tone, this was D’Angelico's first 12-string acoustic-electric, the Premier Fulton. This grand auditorium acoustic features a smaller, 16-inch-wide body with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides for stellar tone that delivers robust bass and shiny high end. A gorgeous mahogany neck with ovangkol fingerboard offers wonderful playability and response as well. And when you’re ready to plug in, a D’Angelico preamp with onboard tuner kicks out rich, amplified acoustic tone. If you’ve been searching for that classic, chimey 12-string sound, the Premier Fulton delivers!
