Flagship Semihollows
A curvaceous and compact single-cutaway semi-hollow with a full-sized yet lightweight center block, the Excel SS is D’Angelico’s preeminent semi-hollow design.

Seymour Duncans with Coil Splitting
Featuring our long-standing favorite pairing of Seymour Duncan humbuckers—a 59 in the neck position and an SH-4 in the bridge position. This set provides savory and articulate tone, plus coil-splitting push/pull tone knobs allow for single-coil sparkle while still retaining output volume. 

Classic D’Angelico aesthetics and signature details
A focus on clean lines, smart textures and Art Deco flourishes imbues each instrument with the warmth and sleekness of New York City music history.
