D'Angelico Excel EXL-1

Hollow-body archtop guitar model

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.

Gordon-Smith GS1

Single-cutaway electric guitar

The GS1 is a foundational Gordon-Smith model, hand-built in England from a single-piece mahogany body and set neck featuring the brand's signature 'tone pocket.' It carries a rosewood fingerboard and Gordon-Smith's home-wound humbuckers, made to the same specification as the company's 1974 originals.
