D'angelico Exl-1

Product details

HW is proud to be a main dealer for these incredible guitars. Not onlydo D'Angelico have a fantastic heritage of making absolutely the best archtop guitars, with the new Excel series, these guitars are now more affordable than ever before.

For the archtop traditionalist, the EXL-1 is a new classic. Never before has this much guitar been made so accessible. The acoustic sound is full and resonant, while the Kent Armstrong-designed floating pickup yields an electric sound of great nuance and authority

Visual appointments include some that haven't been seen since John D'Angelico himself was making instruments — the solid-brass, polished Excel tailpiece and stained wood headstock overlay harken back to the good old days on Kenmare Street. The Excel EXL-1 is a whole lot of archtop, born of a great tradition and yes, you can afford it!
