Some guitars make a great first impression. Others keep impressing you every time you pick them up. The D'Angelico Premier Bedford is firmly in the second category. As an authorized D'Angelico dealer, we've become big fans of this model thanks to its outstanding craftsmanship, unique offset design, and incredible versatility. It's one of those guitars that makes you wonder why more people aren't talking about it.
Finished in a rich Oxblood gloss, the Premier Bedford blends vintage-inspired styling with modern performance. Its lightweight offset body is exceptionally comfortable whether you're standing on stage or settling in for a long recording session, while the HS pickup configuration delivers an impressive range of tones. The neck single-coil produces articulate cleans with plenty of sparkle, while the bridge humbucker adds warmth, punch, and enough output to handle everything from blues and classic rock to indie, alternative, and modern pop.
A slim C-shaped maple neck, smooth ovangkol fingerboard, 14-inch radius, and medium jumbo frets create a fast, comfortable playing experience that feels equally inviting to seasoned players and those picking up a Bedford for the first time. Premium appointments like Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, and D'Angelico's signature Art Deco styling complete an instrument that looks every bit as refined as it sounds.
