Warm, Woody Archtop Tone

The flagship archtop from D'Angelico is now available in the Premier Series. Offering warm and woody jazz tones by way of a custom floating mini-humbucker and 17-inch-wide body design, the Premier EXL-1 is a standout in its class. A slim C-shape neck, medium vintage fretwire and comfortable 1 and 11/16" nut width guarantees remarkable comfort for young jazzers and seasoned vets alike. Featuring classic Art Deco aesthetic flourishes reminiscent of old New York, the Premier EXL-1 is a beacon of D'Angelico guitars. Now available in Brown Burst.

Timeless Design

Based on John D’Angelico’s original single-cutaway design, the Premier EXL-1’s body shape makes use of the legendary archtop blueprint while offering modern comfort.

Warm and Woody Tone

A single floating mini-humbucker highlights the EXL-1’s naturally sweet mid-range and warm acoustic edge.

Vintage Elegance

Offering signature D’Angelico details such as its Stairstep tailpiece and iconic traditional headstock, the Premier EXL-1 offers remarkable sustain and rich harmonic overtones.
