General

Like an echo of a fifties and sixties heirloom, this single-cut stunner brings antique-grade warmth and resonance into the present before piling on the modern comfort and playability. The D'Angelico Excel SS semi-acoustic features the smooth comfort of a C neck profile and the throwback tone of a maple body finished with a spruce top. The bound ebony fretboard has been finished with a set of twenty-two medium-jumbo frets, every last one of which is easily accessed via the deep and graceful cutaway.

High-Grade Hardware & Electronics

Two Seymour Duncan 59 humbuckers spit thick and defined amplified sound, which can be thinned out to deliver some single-coil flavour via the push/pull coil-split switches supplied per pickup. Ultra-stable as well as ultra-variable, this refined D'Angelico offering has been polished off with a set of Grover machine heads, a dual-action truss rod, a Tune-O-Matic bridge and a TUSQ nut, which don't just combine to firm up the tuning but pack the sustain with musicality.

Wrote the following about D'Angelico Excel SS Vintage Natural Electric Guitar with Case

A really nice looking and well made guitar. The tonal range is excellent and the instrument is versatile enough to be used for different genres - my particular interest is jazz. Nice warm sound from the bridge pick-up. Build quality is very good with some nice touches and the finish looks impressive. Action is very good - I lowered mine a little - and the fret board is smooth and easy to play. Stays in tune well. Case is good quality so overall, good value for money for a medium priced instrument. Very happy with it.

Erg mooie gitaar. Goed in balans. Goed afgewerkt. Speelt strak. Beide pick-ups zijn single coil te schakelen en dan klinken ze ook nog prima. Eerste keer dat ik dat meemaak! Heb de kam iets lager geveild. Stond wat hoog. Maar verder topgitaar.
