Excel Style B
Originally drafted in John D’Angelico’s notebook in 1936, the Style B is a standout in our archtop collection. A signature “Style B” logo on the pickguard and beautifully detailed headstock design create its classic look, impossible to mistake for another. With a slightly smaller body length and comfortable neck profile, the Style B is a notably well-balanced archtop. It has the scrape and slap of an acoustic but the power and tonal variety of an electric hollow-body from its floating mini-humbucker.
