The Pinnacle of Entry-Level Archtops
Based on John D’Angelico’s original design, the Premier EXL-1’s body shape makes use of the legendary archtop blueprint while offering modern comfort.
Punchy Mids and Acoustic Edge
A single floating mini-humbucker highlights the EXL-1’s natural mid range and warm acoustic edge.
Vintage Elegance
Offering signature D’Angelico features in the Stairstep tailpiece and iconic oversized headstock, the Premier EXL-1 offers remarkable sustain and rich harmonic overtones.
