D'Angelico / Deluxe Brighton Desert Gold

The Deluxe Brighton Desert Gold is a 13.25" (336.55mm) wide double cutaway shape with two humbucker pickups with escutcheons.

The original shape of the pickguard, which is typical of Di Angelico, is 5-ply with a design reminiscent of part of an f-hole.
The binding on the body top (7-ply), headstock and neck (3-ply) is decorated with mother-of-pearl/avalon split block position markers, giving the design a chic and gorgeous impression.
The body is made of alder with wood materials such as maple & walnut 3-piece neck and ebony fingerboard.
The 24.75" (628.65mm) scale is used, and the 3-piece neck is made of maple with walnut between the maple to resist warping and twisting.
The neck joint is a unique heel-less design that allows the neck to reach the back of the body (where it covers the entire front pickup) like a through-neck, thus providing a wider bonding area and making the "set-through" neck joint stronger and easier to play at high frets. The neck joint has a "set-through" neck joint that provides both playability and strength at high frets.
It also features a dual-action truss rod, which is adjusted on the head side.
The distinctive headstock design continues the D'Angelico tradition.
The truss rod cover is made of aluminum, and its design has a sense of presence inspired by the skyscrapers of New York City with its Art Deco architecture (such as the Empire State Building), which was popular in New York City around 1930.
Two metal-covered USA Seymour Duncan Seth Lover A4 humbuckers are mounted on the pickups.
The controls are a 2-volume, 2-tone, 3-way pickup selector layout, with the tone of each pickup also serving as a push-pull switch for the coil split, for a total of 8 different coil combinations.
The hardware is all nickel, with Grover Super Rotomatic locking machine heads for tuning stability, and a tune-o-matic & stop bar tailpiece.
The color is Desert Gold.
A hard case is included.
