D'Angelico Excel EXL-1

South Korea

The Excel EXL-1 is a 17-inch single-cutaway hollow-body archtop electric guitar inspired by John D'Angelico's original Excel introduced in 1947. It pairs a laminated spruce top with laminated flame maple back and sides, a set three-piece neck with a C-shaped profile, an ebony fingerboard, and a 25.5-inch scale. A single floating Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith mini-humbucker, a floating ebony bridge, and the brand's stairstep tailpiece give it a woody, articulate tone for jazz rhythm and lead.

Friedman Metro-D

United States

The Friedman Metro-D is Friedman's set-neck, single-cutaway solidbody electric guitar, designed by Dave Friedman with luthier Grover Jackson and built in the USA. It uses a mahogany body with a figured maple top and a long-tenon mahogany neck, carrying two Friedman humbuckers (a Classic in the neck and a hotter Classic+ in the bridge) with coil-splitting, routed to a TonePros tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar. A compound-radius fingerboard, 25.5-inch scale, and full Plek setup make it a modern take on the classic set-neck single-cut.
