This raffle is for a D'Angelico Deluxe Brighton Doublecut in Hunter Green from the Andertons TV video room, signed by The Captain & Danish Pete! Born in NYC’s Little Italy, D’Angelico is widely regarded as one of the finest archtop guitar manufacturers of the 20th century. Nowadays, they make guitars of all shapes and sizes; all built with the same exceptional detail, mastery and flair that put them on the map. The Deluxe Brighton perfectly encapsulates this. Striking design appointments like D’Angelico’s unique headstock design, gold hardware and Mother of Pearl/Abalone block inlays are definitely easy on the eyes. In addition, dual Seymour Duncan pickups, coil-tap controls and a Maple/Walnut/Pau Ferro neck offer a vibrant tonal palette. Body & Neck The Deluxe Brighton is a curvy double-cut guitar that offers solid humbucking tones. The body material is Swamp Ash, a classic tonewood that’s balanced with a tight midrange. 7-ply binding rounds it off with a luxurious look. The multi-piece neck employs a strip of Walnut sandwiched between solid Maple. This adds an edge to the Ash/humbucker combination with extra top-end brightness, great for lead playing clarity. Hardware & Electronics As mentioned before, twin USA Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver a warm but gutsy snarl. But thanks to the tonewood choices and coil-tap controls, the Deluxe Brighton is no one-trick pony. It’ll clean up beautifully, just as suited to jazz & funk as it is to anthemic rock. The hardware is where some of this instrument’s true character shines. Luxuriously adorned with gold hardware, including Grover Super Rotomatic Locking tuners, it’s an undeniably striking instrument. But everything has a purpose; expect fantastic tuning stability, squeaky-clean intonation and reliability across the board.

ABOUT TEENAGE CANCER TRUST Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through it. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need – so no young person faces cancer alone. This year has been a challenging one for everyone and at Teenage Cancer Trust we’ve also had to focus our efforts on responding to the global crisis. The demand for our support has never been greater, especially as Coronavirus means young people are facing more isolation, fear and uncertainty than ever before. Our income has been hit by almost one third and we expect this to continue through 2021. We’re not a big charity and we receive no Government funding, therefore we solely rely on the generosity of supporters like yourselves to survive Just £30 can provide an hour of expert nursing care. Even an hour of support from someone who truly understands what you’re going through is proven to make a big difference to feelings of isolation, anxiety and depression – something that’s needed more so now than ever. Right now Teenage Cancer Trust can’t reach every young person who needs them. With your support they can make sure young people get the nursing care and support they need, through their cancer treatment and beyond.
