DAngelico Deluxe Bobby Weir 3 MS

DAngelico Deluxe Bobby Weir 3 MS review

The DAngelico Deluxe Bobby Weir 3 MS is a semi-hollow, cutaway electric guitar built as a signature model for Bobby Weir of Wolf Bros. Its listed specifications describe a maple body, a three-piece maple and walnut neck, ebony fingerboard, two TV Jones Custom DA'Tron humbuckers, and a D'Angelico Shield tremolo. It has been available since October 2024, carries item number 603059, and is listed at 1,650. The supplied price does not state a currency.

There are no customer reviews available for this model. This assessment therefore focuses on the published construction and hardware rather than reported playing impressions or claims about its sound.

Body and construction

The guitar is semi-hollow, not fully hollow, with laminated maple used for the top, back, and sides. That construction places it in a different category from a solid-body electric guitar, while the center construction details are not specified here. The cutaway gives access to the upper part of the neck, although the exact cutaway shape and its practical reach cannot be established from the specifications alone.

The finish is listed as Matte Stone, and the body has five-ply binding. A five-ply tortoiseshell pickguard adds a contrasting visual detail. These are clear points of identity for the model, but the available information does not specify the finish type or the precise dimensions and body depth.

The neck uses three pieces, maple, walnut, and maple, and has a C-shaped profile. The fingerboard is ebony, with 22 frets and mother-of-pearl split-block inlays. The scale length is 635 mm, or 25 inches, and the nut width is 43 mm. Those measurements give shoppers concrete points for comparison with other instruments, but no fret size, neck thickness measurements, or fingerboard radius is provided.

Pickups and controls

Two TV Jones Custom DA'Tron humbuckers provide the guitar's pickup configuration. The supplied specifications identify them as humbuckers, but do not give output measurements, magnet type, or other electrical details. As a result, a detailed prediction of tonal response would go beyond the available evidence.

The control layout includes two volume controls and one master volume control, along with two tone controls that have push-pull functions. A three-way switch selects between pickup settings. The push-pull functions are noted, but their specific effects are not identified in the supplied information. Buyers who need to know exactly what each switching option does should confirm that detail with DAngelico or a retailer before purchase.

The combination of two pickups, multiple volume controls, and push-pull tone controls offers several on-instrument adjustments. The specification sheet does not explain the circuit layout, so it is not possible to state which control governs each pickup or what changes the push-pull switches make.

Tremolo, tuning hardware, and included case

The D'Angelico Shield tremolo is included, and the guitar has Grover 509 Super Rotomatic locking tuning machines. These are specific hardware choices, but the supplied details do not describe the tremolo's range, setup, or adjustment method. They also do not state how the locking tuners operate or provide a tuning stability assessment. Those points require direct inspection or manufacturer documentation beyond the listed specifications.

The nut is made from Graph Tech TUSQ, and the hardware is gold-plated. A case is included; a separate bag is not. The case's construction and interior dimensions are not provided, so its protection level and storage capacity cannot be evaluated from this information.

The published details make the DAngelico Deluxe Bobby Weir 3 MS a defined choice for players considering a semi-hollow signature instrument with a 25-inch scale, humbucker layout, and tremolo. They do not establish how it feels in hand, how it sounds through an amplifier, or how well its hardware performs over time. Those judgments call for a hands-on test. The included case is a useful part of the package, while the listed price and all other purchase terms should be checked with the seller.
