D'Angelico Excel DC

South Korea

The Excel DC is a double-cutaway semi-hollow electric guitar built on a 16-inch laminated flame maple body with a solid center block for added sustain and feedback resistance. It uses a set three-piece neck with a C-shaped profile, an ebony fingerboard, and a pair of USA Seymour Duncan humbuckers with push/pull coil-splitting. A 24.75-inch scale and gold tune-o-matic bridge make it a flexible instrument for jazz, blues, and rock.
