D'Angelico PREMIER SS Black Flake B-Stock

The D'Angelico Premier SS Black Flake B-Stock brings art-deco elegance to a stage-ready semi-hollow that lives for articulate cleans and expressive dynamics. Its single-cut, center-block design dishes classic archtop air with modern control over feedback, while the shimmering Black Flake finish and signature headstock deliver unmistakably classy presence under lights. A pair of D'Angelico P-90-style single-coils sits at the heart of the SS, chosen for their focused top end, woody midrange, and fast transient response.

Expect glassy, piano-like cleans for jazz voicings and indie chime, smooth edge-of-breakup textures for soul and blues, and tight, grainy crunch that stays articulate under pedalboard drive. A traditional 3-way toggle with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup makes it easy to sculpt everything from rolled-off, smoky neck tones to bright, cutting bridge rhythm. Laminated maple top, back, and sides with a solid center block provide the ideal balance of resonance and sustain.

The set maple neck pairs with a bound fingerboard for a refined feel, offering a comfortable slim C profile that invites long sets without fatigue. A 25-inch scale length tightens the attack and keeps chords in tune up the neck, while a flatter, contemporary radius promotes clean bends and precise vibrato across all 22 frets. Anchored by a Tune-O-Matic bridge and D'Angelico’s iconic Stairstep tailpiece, this hardtail setup maximizes tuning stability and punch, letting the pickups speak with clarity whether you’re comping soft bossa, laying down crisp funk, or stacking gain for modern worship and alternative rock.

As a B-Stock instrument, it may show light cosmetic blemishes, but performance is fully dialed in. Every D'Angelico Premier SS Black Flake B-Stock from Max Guitar is inspected and set up by our techs, with all electronics thoroughly checked for reliable stage and studio use.
