D'Angelico Bedford Deluxe Matte Walnut 2022 Electric Guitar

This is a D’Angelico Bedford Deluxe Electric Guitar from 2022 in Matte Walnut finish. Made in Korea, this guitar consists of an Alder body, a three-piece Maple/Walnut/Maple neck, and a 22-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include a Wilkinson Six-Point Tremolo bridge, Grover 509 Super Rotomatic Locking tuners, and two Seymour Duncan P90 Stack pickups that are wired to a master volume, master tone and a three-way pickup selector.

The 3-piece Maple/Walnut/Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the ‘C’ profile providing fluid movement and ergonomic thumb placement up and down the register. The Matte finish to the rear of the neck provides a comfortable playing surface, whilst the Ebony fingerboard offers a luxurious and pleasant feeling under the fingers, yielding a smooth playing surface. The 14” radius ensures that finger styles of playing are catered for as well chordal styles, and with the body cutaway provides unobstructed access to the higher frets.

The Seymour Duncan P90 Stack pickups sound thick and full, with a warm low end, a tight and punchy midrange, along with a clear and articulate high end. Clean sounds are shimmering and crystal clear, yet the pickups respond well to overdriven tones too- great for solos or an extra bit of grit. The bridge pickup has beautiful clarity, allowing for shimmering trebles to ring through whilst the middle position blends the best of both pickups to create a smooth and well-defined voice. The neck position has rounded, creamy tones that are great for chordal phrasings or quick jazz lines, with the extensive controls offering plenty of room for tonal shaping.
