D'Angelico Excel SS

South Korea

The Excel SS is a single-cutaway semi-hollow electric guitar with a 15-inch laminated spruce top, maple back and sides, and a solid center block for sustain and feedback control. It uses a set three-piece neck with a C-shaped profile, an ebony fingerboard with split-block inlays, and a 25-inch scale. Two USA Seymour Duncan humbuckers with coil-splitting feed a gold tune-o-matic bridge and the brand's stairstep tailpiece, suiting jazz and roots playing.
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.
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.
