Available for the first time as a standard model in the Deluxe Series, the Deluxe Bedford SH is a semi-solid spin on our flagship solid-body. Featuring two Seymour Duncan Five-Two's in the neck and middle positions followed by a Seymour Duncan SM-1b mini-humbucker in the bridge, the SH offers a full-bodied yet remarkably articulate tonal profile, while a 5-way blade makes tone selection simple. Featuring a sleek, modern f-hole design on the upper bout, the Bedford SH integrates a warm acoustic element into its unique three-pickup electronics configuration. Now available in Desert Gold, Black, and Matte Walnut with a six-point Wilkinson tremolo.
For an added edge of acoustic warmth to its three-pickup configuration, the Deluxe Bedford SH features a contoured F-hole over its oversized body chamber, perfectly blending the tonal worlds of solid-bodies and semi-hollows.
Refreshing the standard three-pickup/five-way blade configuration, the Deluxe Bedford SH features two USA Seymour Duncan tele-style pickups in the neck and middle, while a Vintage Mini-humbucker is nestled into the bridge—resulting in five incomparable, rich tones that offer both heft and elastic articulation.
Alder offers full-bodied tone that’s articulate yet warm—a comfortable middle ground between basswood and swamp ash. It offers remarkable sustain and just the right amount of weight.
Originally offered only in Limited Edition quantities, the Bedford SH quickly established itself as a standout in the D’Angelico line and is now available as a standard Deluxe Series offering.
