D'Angelico Excel SS Electric Guitar (Semi-Hollowbody - Black)

Warm and Punchy. The Excel SS has asserted itself in the world of semi-hollow guitars. A 15-inch-wide single-cutaway, the SS is equal parts warm and punchy. Perfectly balanced Seymour Duncan 59 Humbuckers provide savory tone‚ îincluding coil-tapping push/pull tone knobs for single-coil sparkle‚ while a slim C-shape neck profile offers maximum comfort. Now featuring an ebony fingerboard for archtop articulation and remarkable sustain. Now available in Vintage Natural, Viola, Black Dog, Solid Black, and Trans Cherry.

Flagship Semi-hollow Design. 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 Duncan 59s with Coil Splitting. Equal parts rich and clear across the tonal spectrum, USA Seymour Duncan 59 humbuckers offer vintage-inspired tones and remarkable articulation. Paired with coil-splitting push/pull tone knobs for maximum versatility.

Ebony Fingerboard. With a bright edge for greater articulation and smooth sustain, an ebony fingerboard now graces the Excel SS. Featuring a modern radius and medium jumbo fretwire from Jescar.

Grover Imperial Tuners. Grover Imperial tuners inspired by vintage D'Angelico's from the 40s and 50s ensure consistent and accurate tuning with a 16:1 gear ratio.
