General

With the deluxe addition of a laminated quilted maple top, a more classic Scroll-Style headstock and a few other sweet upgrades, this D'Angelico offering takes the Excel DC to the XT. While this is definitely a step up from the standard Excel, the 16 inch wide body, the thin-C neck profile, rosewood fretboard and flat 16 inch radius all remain, gifting the Excel DC XT with impeccable comfort and light and nimble playability.

The D'Angelico Excel DC XT: Extreme Luxury

The core sound of the Excel has also been retained, so you get a classic pair of Seymour Duncan '59 humbuckers that combine with the maple build to produce a surprisingly wide tonal spectrum framed by ultra-warm basses, glassy, bell-like trebles and masses of natural sustain. But, since this is the XT edition, both pickups have also been set up with a single-coil style voicing that can be activated by popping out the push-pull tone pots - supporting endless sonic variation. Deliciously flexible and finished with irresistible D'Angelico style and detailing, this model is very simply even more versatile and even more luxurious.

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.
