This great guitar is a B stock item we got directly from D’Angelico, however we could not find any noticeable flaws on it, aside from signs of having been played. The guitar is fully warrantied by D’Angelico to function as new. Save big on a guitar that plays new with only a small cosmetic flaw. The photos you see in this ad are actual photos of the one you will get.

The Excel DC is a standout double-cutaway semi-hollow offering classic tones and modern versatility. With deep, comfortable cutaways and a slim C-shape neck profile offsetting its 16-inch-wide body shape, the Excel DC's playability is remarkable. Seymour Duncan 59 humbuckers provide an impressive tonal range of vintage-voiced warmth to glassy high-end, while its center block fights off feedback at high volumes. Now featuring a rosewood fingerboard, Jescar 47104 fretwire, and vintage-inspired Grover Imperial tuners. Now available in Vintage Natural, Viola, Black Dog, Solid Black, and Trans Cherry.

FULL SIZED, FULL TONE
