This D'Angelico Excel DC XT is brand spanking new, I just can't list it like that since I'm not an authorized dealer. "Mint" has also been removed as an option by Reverb, so "Excellent" is the best I can describe it as in the listing. I purchased this beauty from Sweetwater during their 2025 Black Friday sale and it's only been removed from the case for an initial visual inspection and then put right back in and is sitting in a climate-controlled room in my non-smoking house where the humidity level is between 45%-55%. All original packing will be used and all case candy included. These sold out within a couple of hours after going on sale and are no longer available to purchase "new." All pictures shown in this listing are of the actual guitar you will receive.

This Excel DC XT model was the flagship of the range, and has been discontinued by D'Angelico and are no longer available. Grab a brand new one while you can.

Featuring the Throwback Scroll-Style headstock and a decadent Laminated Quilt Maple top, the Excel DC XT offers unique upgrades to the widely popular standard Excel DC. With deep, comfortable cutaways and a slim C-shape neck profile offering it's 16-inch-wide body shape, the Excel DC's playability is remarkable. Seymour Duncan '59 humbuckers provide an incredible tonal range, from vintage-voiced warmth to glassy high-end, while its centerblock easily fights off feedback at high volumes. This Excel DC XT features a rosewood fingerboard, Jescar 4701 nickel silver fretwire, and vintage-inspired Grover Imperial tuners.

The Excel DC XT boasts premium materials, exemplary electronics, and second-to-none comfort and playability. This semi-hollowbody electric guitar features a laminate quilted maple body for a bright, rich, and resonant tone. This guitar comes loaded with a set of Seymour Duncan '59 humbuckers; the '59 is Duncan's take on Seth Lover's legendary PAF (Patent Applied For) pickup design. This vintage-inspired pickup is excellent for all applications, producing a purebred humbucker tone with a warmth and clarity to meet today's player's needs. The sound is routed through a 3-way toggle switch with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup. The tone pots are push-pull, giving you access to a range of snappy single-coil sounds. From jazz and fusion to blues, rock and country; from chimey rhythm parts to blistering leads - and everything in between - the D'Angelico Excel DC XT delivers.

When you pick up the D'Angelico Excel DC XT for the first time, you'll marvel at its inviting 3-piece maple/walnut neck. The "C"-shaped neck carve sits soundly in your hand, encouraging quick play up and down the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. The instrument's comfortable playing feel is a byproduct of its 24.75-inch scale length, which makes bends and vibrato feel effortless. Meanwhile, the double-cut quilted maple body provides a bright tonal foundation, while enabling seamless high register access.
