Tooting Its Own Horn
Back to School D’Angelico Guitars debuted the Brandon Niederauer Atlantic — a signature model version of its Atlantic single-cutaway solid-body — co-designed with the 15-year-old rising rock guitarist known as “Taz,” who starred in “School of Rock the Musical” on Broadway. Available in both the Premier and Deluxe Series, the Brandon Niederauer Atlantic signature model boasts high output in both sound and aesthetic. Imbued with the energy of one of music’s most electrifying young players, the Niederauer Atlantic comes in a custom sonic blue finish paired with satin chrome hardware for an irresistible aesthetic. The Deluxe Series offering comes strapped with a Seymour Duncan custom DA-59 in the neck and an Antiquity humbucker in the bridge for searing vintage tone, while its Premier Series counterpart sports Duncan Designed humbuckers. Both boast c-shape neck profiles and sleek body designs, guaranteeing performance comfort for players at every level, stated the company. D’Angelico, dangelicoguitars.com

You’re a Superstar TAMA is expanding its range of affordable, mid-grade kits with the Superstar Classic Exotix series, comprising the CL72SPGBP and CL52KSPGBP.
