Get this striking D’Angelico Grateful Dead DC semi-hollow half-price at Sweetwater
Classic-sounding semi-hollow now available for $499 ahead of Black Friday
D’Angelico’s relationship with Grateful Dead legend Bob Weir has yielded a variety of wild signature guitars, but none are quite so eye-catching as this Dead lightning bolt-adorned Premier DC semi-hollow, now offered at half-price - down from $999 to $499 - at Sweetwater.
Available for a limited time only ahead of the Black Friday guitar deals bonanza, this electric is kitted out with a red, white and blue finish across the top of its all-maple body, while the back is all blue.
It also features a crowd-pleasing C-shaped neck and a set of classic-voiced humbuckers, while the guitar’s center block limits any pesky feedback at high volumes.
This open-box deal is available for a limited time only, with several of Sweetwater’s Black Friday deals already selling out, so don’t wait around...
