Say hello to authentic jazzbox tone. The DAngelico Excel EXL-1 is a full-sized hollowbody electric guitar that pays tribute to the original designs built by John DAngelico in the early 1900s. Its laminated maple body pairs with a laminate spruce top for articulate attack and smooth resonance. The guitar features a set 3-piece neck constructed from maple and walnut, supplying easy playability and excellent sustain. And, when paired with your favorite amplifier, this EXL-1s Seymour Duncan 59 humbucker pumps out classic PAF tones for jazz, rock, and blues applications. Players particularly appreciate the pickguard-mounted controls, which make a minimal sonic impact on the acoustic tone. Choose the Excel EXL-1, revel in magnificent hollowbody tone, and unleash your full playing potential.
Classic tonewoods and quality craftsmanship
DAngelico crafts each Excel EXL-1 hollowbody from maple and spruce, just like John DAngelico did in the early 20th century. This guitars laminate spruce top and laminate maple back and sides team up to deliver excellent response and old-school jazzbox tone. In addition, the EXL-1 comes with a floating ebony bridge and classic stairstep tailpiece.
Seymour Duncan 59 humbucker
This version of the EXL-1 is equipped with a Seymour Duncan 59 humbucker in the neck position. The 59 is well-loved guitar players for its versatile nature. It accurately captures the tone and response of the iconic PAF pickups from the 20th century. Youll love the slightly scooped midrange and squeal-free performance. Thanks to the Seymour Duncan 59 pickup, your EXL-1 hollowbody electric guitar can tackle rock, blues, and jazz with equal success.
Super-playable neck
Your fingers will fall in love with the Excel EXL-1 as soon as you start fretting notes. The 3-piece neck is made from two pieces of maple sandwiching a single walnut ply. And it plays like a dream. DAngelico carves the neck into a comfortable C-shaped profile, which offers a stable, hand-filling feel. Plus, the neck is topped by a 12-inch radius ebony fingerboard studded with 22 easy-playing frets.
