D'Angelico / DX BEDFORD BLK

The Deluxe Bedford features an original offset body shape reminiscent of the 1960s, a stacked single coil on the neck side, and a humbucker pickup on the rear.

The original pickguard, which is characteristic of D'Angelico, is designed to resemble a part of the f-hole and is available in a 5-ply tortoise shell pattern (black, natural swamp ash) or white pearl pattern (hunter green). The headstock and neck (4-ply) are decorated with binding, and the design, combined with the striking split block position markers in mother-of-pearl/avalon, gives a chic and gorgeous impression. The body is made of lightweight basswood (hunter green, black) or swamp ash (natural swamp ash), and the 3-piece maple and walnut neck is made of perfluoro fingerboard. The scale length is 24.75 inches, and the neck is a 3-piece structure with walnut sandwiched between maple, which is resistant to warping and twisting. In addition, the neck joint is a unique heelless design, and the neck reaches the back of the body (to the position that covers the entire front pickup) like a through neck, providing a wide bonding area, making it a ""set-through"" neck joint that combines playability at high frets with strength. In addition, it is equipped with a dual action truss rod that is adjusted on the head side. The distinctive headstock design inherits the tradition of D'Angelico. The truss rod cover is made of aluminum, and its presence is inspired by the skyscrapers of New York City, where Art Deco architecture (such as the Empire State Building) was popular in New York around 1930. The neck pickup is equipped with a stacked USA Seymour Duncan DA-59 single coil STK, and the bridge pickup is equipped with an open type USA Seymour Duncan DA-59 humbucker. The controls are a 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way pickup selector layout, with each pickup tone also serving as a coil split push-pull switch, giving a total of 8 coil combinations. The hardware is all gold, and the guitar features Grover's Super Rotomatic locking machine heads and Tune-O-Matic & Stop Bar tailpiece for stable tuning.
