Original Archtop Design
True to John D’Angelico’s original archtop design in every detail, the Excel EXL-1 is a 17-inch-wide, 3-inch-deep archtop strapped with only a single floating mini-humbucker.
Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith Floating Mini-Humbucker
Paired with wide open archtop body design, a Seymour Duncan USA Custom Shop Johnny Smith Floating Mini-Humbucker gives the Excel EXL-1 its legendary warm acoustic tone.
Floating Ebony Bridge
Referencing a number of John D’Angelico’s original archtop designs, a floating ebony bridge with two subtle mother-of-pearl inlays add to the EXL-1’s woody tone.
Slim C-shape Neck
Gone are the days where big guitars are unplayable. The Excel EXL-1 features a friendly slim-C neck shape for all players.
