D'Angelico EXCEL DC DAEDCSBKGS * Double Cutaway w/ stop-bar tailpiece, Solid Black

Semi-hollowbody Workhorse for the Stage and Studio

The D'Angelico Excel DC boasts premium materials, exemplary electronics, and second-to-none comfort and playability. This semi-hollowbody electric guitar features a laminate figured maple body for a bright, rich, and resonant tone. The solid center block stops feedback in its tracks while promoting bite and sustain. Speaking of bite, the Excel DC is equipped with two Seymour Duncan '59 humbuckers for a classic PAF-style attack and truckloads of harmonics. A comfortable "C"-shaped maple/walnut neck encourages fluid playing and chording. If you need a superior semi-hollowbody electric that can do anything you ask of it, put the D'Angelico Excel DC at the top of your list.

Seymour Duncan '59s deliver Holy Grail humbucking tone

The D'Angelico Excel DC comes loaded with a set of Seymour Duncan '59 humbuckers. The '59 is Duncan's take on Seth Lover's legendary PAF (Patent Applied For) pickup design. This vintage-inspired pickup is excellent for all applications, producing a purebred humbucker tone with a warmth and clarity to meet today's players' needs. The sound is routed through a 3-way toggle switch with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup. The tone pots are push-pull, giving you access to a range of snappy 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 DC delivers.

Plays like a breeze

When you pick up the D'Angelico Excel DC for the first time, you'll marvel at its inviting 3-piece maple/walnut neck. The "C"-shaped neck carve sits soundly in your hand, encouraging quick play up and down the 22-fret ebony fingerboard. The instrument's comfortable playing feel is a byproduct of its 24.75-inch scale length, which makes bends and vibrato feel effortless. Meanwhile, the double-cut flame maple body provides a bright tonal foundation, while enabling seamless high register access.

The D'Angelico legacy

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 next 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 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.  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.
