If you're taking your D'Angelico acoustic-electric to a gig, chances are you'll be plugging in rather than miking up. The Premier Bowery Koa comes pre-loaded with a D'Angelico preamp and pickup system for easy-peasy plug-in tone when taking your music to the club or coffee shop. A powerful 3-band EQ and master volume control give you full control of your tone from the stage. You also get a simple onboard tuner to keep you sounding your best in a live performance setting. A battery indicator lets you know when it's time to reach for a new 9-volt.
The Premier Bowery Koa acoustic-electric continues in the tradition of the late John D'Angelico's legendary handcrafted guitars, bringing classic appointments and forward-looking designs to the company's New York roots. Today, D'Angelico uses state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the best materials available to create playable works of art. From a one-off shop in Little Italy to the world stage, D'Angelico's dedication to quality craftsmanship ensures that this brand won't be going dormant any time soon. Dollar for dollar, if you're looking for a unique cutaway dreadnought with a big sound and big presence, the D'Angelico Premier Bowery Koa is the guitar for you.
