Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
D’Angelico’s Premier Gramercy CS is a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric with a solid mahogany top, laminated mahogany back and sides, and an Aged Trans Black satin finish. The single cutaway reaches the upper frets, while the mahogany C-shape neck, 12-inch fingerboard radius, and 1-11/16-inch nut width define its playing layout. A Fishman Sonitone pickup and preamp carry the guitar’s acoustic voice to an amp or PA, with volume and tone adjustments placed inside the soundhole.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic players who want amplified volume and tone adjustments available from the guitar’s soundhole.
- Chord and fingerpicking parts on a Grand Auditorium body with upper-fret access from a cutaway.
- Players seeking a mahogany-bodied acoustic-electric in an Aged Trans Black satin finish.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need their volume and tone controls mounted away from the soundhole.
- Guitarists looking for a body without a cutaway.
- Players who do not want an onboard Fishman pickup and preamp system.
