D’Angelico Quality in a Classic Single-cut Semi-hollow

The D’Angelico Excel SS is a highly playable semi-hollowbody Butterscotch Blonde electric guitar with amazing tone and gorgeous visuals. The Excel SS’s semi-hollow, single-cutaway body is extremely comfortable and yields a bright, rich, resonant sound with loads of bite and sustain, while a solid center block ensures a feedback-free performance. Equipped with a pair of Seymour Duncan ’59 humbuckers, the Excel SS serves up a banquet of tone for every occasion — from jazzy cleans to full-throttle rock. Navigating this guitar’s fast and comfortable “C”-shaped, 3-piece maple/walnut neck is effortless, as your fingers dance on its silky-smooth bound rosewood fingerboard. The Excel SS boasts high-end aesthetic touches such as mother-of-pearl and abalone Split Block fingerboard inlays, multi-ply binding and Scalini pickguard, and elegant gold hardware. While it may resemble a classic jazz box, the D’Angelico Excel SS is a cross-genre, do-it-all instrument that will ace any live gig or studio session.

Potent humbucking and single-coil tone

The D’Angelico Excel SS comes loaded with a pair of Seymour Duncan ’59 humbuckers. These vintage-inspired pickups are great all-rounders that deliver warm, full-bodied humbucking tone with crystalline clarity. This potent sonic elixir is routed through a 3-way toggle switch and per-pickup volume and push-pull tone controls for access to a range of spanky single-coil sounds. From jazz and fusion to blues, rock, and country; from chimey rhythm parts to blistering leads — and everything in between — the D’Angelico Excel SS delivers.

John D’Angelico

After mastering his craft during an 18-year apprenticeship, luthier John D’Angelico opened his own shop in Manhattan’s Little Italy in 1932. Catering to New York’s many jazz musicians over the ensuing three decades, D’Angelico and a single apprentice became New York’s foremost stringed instrument builders, creating over one thousand treasured archtop guitars until John’s death in 1964. Following his passing, the D’Angelico’s legacy lived on only through his rare, legendary instruments. After decades, the D’Angelico brand has resurfaced, bringing back the playability and attention to detail of the company’s New York roots. Today, we are delighted to offer this fine line of distinguished instruments. D’Angelico uses state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the finest available materials to create playable works of art for today’s guitarist. From a modest shop in Little Italy to the world stage, D’Angelico’s dedication to quality craftsmanship ensures that this brand won’t be going dormant again any time soon.
