D'Angelico Excel SS

Semi-hollow electric guitar model

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.
