General

Like an echo of a fifties and sixties heirloom, this double-cut stunner brings antique-grade warmth and resonance into the present before piling on the modern comfort and playability. This is the Viola-finished edition of the D'Angelico Excel DC, and it features a sixteen-inch maple body, a slim C-profile neck, a rosewood fretboard with a last, fast and responsive sixteen-inch radius, and a set of Jescar 47/104 frets for that light and smooth 'nickel' feel.

Vintage-Voiced Seymour Duncan Pups

A two-piece set of classic Seymour Duncan '59 humbuckers combine with the vintage-flavoured build to produce a surprisingly wide tonal spectrum framed by ultra-warm basses, glassy, bell-like trebles and masses of natural sustain. Pop out the push-pull tone pots to split the double-coils down the middle and spit single-coil-style sound and double the tonal profiles. The rich sonic character of this guitar has been echoed in the detailing: from the set of Grover Imperial machine heads and Deco-style tuning buttons to the pinstriped ebony control pots and gold hardware, completing an elegant and flexible love note of a model.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions
Friday 29 January 2016
Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions.
