D'Angelico Excel hollow bodied arch-top guitar, EXL-1DP, very good condition. Circa 2007, almost unused. Supplied with almost new hard-shell case. Made at the Incheon factory, Korea.
This guitar has a more "orangey" colour than the standard blonde model, and was a special limited edition with the abalone-type binding around the body.
The finish is as good as any new modern d'Angelico I have seen - I won't describe it as perfect as there are always slight imperfections that occur during manufacture. But there are no scratches, splits or repairs anywhere. There is zero fret wear as it has hardly ever been used since new
