Comfy, tonally balanced construction





Right off the bat, the Premier Fulton knocks it out of the park in terms of tonal balance. The vividly articulate and forward nature of its solid spruce top helps deliver the exceptional note definition to do each tune justice. Equally important, its back and sides of laminated mahogany round things out with resonant projection, further enhanced by scalloped X-bracing for a more naturally open sound. A mahogany neck capped with a rosewood fingerboard creates superb sustain ? a true 12-string guitarist’s dream! And with 20 frets, a single body cutaway, and a universal “C”-shaped neck profile, comfortably roaming the octaves of the Premier Fulton is an effortless task.





Ergonomically optimized Fishman preamp





The Premier Fulton comes armed with a crystal-clear Fishman Sonitone preamp system. The active Sonitone ensures that the guitar’s beautiful acoustic tone is preserved and amplified with the utmost accuracy, allowing for your plugged-in performances to translate the best possible sound. Additionally, part of what provides such a player-friendly experience is the non-obstructive integration of the master Volume and Tone control into the soundhole ? this element works seamlessly with the guitar’s body and stays within reach but out of the way of your fingers.





Handsomely functional details abound





The finer details of the Premier Fulton showcase functional charm in full force. Starting with a set of sealed stairstep tuning machines, your intonation remains in check while looking incredibly sharp courtesy of its Antique Bronze finishing. Just below the tuners is a traditional and naturally responding bone nut, pairing nicely with the Premier Fulton’s PPL-saddled rosewood bridge. Finally, the stairstep pickguard, rosette, and small diamond fingerboard inlays match the energy of D’Angelico’s ornate and deco-inspired headstock to provide an aesthetic for accompanying your tone, one unlike any other 12-string you’ll see!
