D'Angelico Deluxe Bedford SH Guitar in Desert Gold

The Deluxe Bedford SH is a semi-hollow spin on D'Angelico's flagship solid-body guitar. Sporting a sleek, modern F-hole design on the upper bout — the Bedford SH integrates a warm acoustic element into its flexible H/S/S electronics configuration.

Other key features include D'Angelico's signature headstock design, a slim "C"-shaped neck profile with a luxurious Ebony fingerboard, US-made Seymour Duncan pickups, a 5-way blade switch and precise Grover Super Rotomatic locking tuners. This instrument therefore offers a remarkable variety of spellbinding tones, with its high-quality components guaranteeing decades of reliable use.

Contoured F-Hole Construction

For an added edge of acoustic character, the Deluxe Bedford SH features a contoured F-hole over its oversized Alder body chamber — perfectly blending the tonal worlds of solid-bodies and semi-hollows. A smooth and elegant set-heel joint between the body and neck allows you to easily access the Deluxe Bedford SH's full 22-fret range too!

Super-Playable Neck

The D'Angelico Deluxe Bedford SH sports a strong 3-piece neck, adorned with a dark Ebony fingerboard that provides a silky touch under the fingers. The neck is shaped to a lean "C" carve which both traditionalists and contemporary players will admire, while a slippery satin finish, a modern 14" fingerboard radius and medium-sized frets offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.

Unique Seymour Duncan Pickup Set

Refreshing the standard 3-pickup/5-way blade configuration, the Deluxe Bedford SH features a USA Seymour Duncan STR-52-1 single-coil in its neck and middle positions, while a SM-1b mini humbucker is nestled into the bridge — resulting in five incomparable, rich tones.
