D'Angelico Excel Imagine the sense of optimism John D'Angelico must have had when he finished work on this guitar! WWII had just ended and America was ready to take a giant step towards peace and prosperity. There's certainly no question that these amazing and rare instruments embody everything anyone could ever want from an archtop. One look at this beauty and it's plain to see why these guitars are the stuff that dreams are made of. The top is meticulously carved solid, straight-grained spruce with back and sides of solid flame figure maple. The maple neck is a comfortably round "U" shape that's full without feeling too clubby or chunky and simply a joy to handle, both for chords or single note passages. The ebony fingerboard is inlaid with pearl block position markers. This non-cutaway Excel is outfitted with Kluson Sealfast tuning machines and the classic D'Angelico signature stairstep tailpiece. At some point the fingers of the tailpiece end tab failed so this part was professionally and expertly repaired. This D'Angelic Excel is truly a rare and wonderful guitar with a big, throaty voice that can only be obtained from the finely aged tone woods of an instrument that's been well played and loved. There is definitely no question as to why the works of John D'Angelico are legendary and this Excel is here to verify it! With hard case. SKU Number:UGC29631 |
