Remarkable Versatility, Semi-hollow Sweetness

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. A Seymour Duncan 59 humbucker in the neck position complimented by a Seymour Duncan SH-4 humbucker in the bridge position 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 tuners. Now available in Amaretto Burst

Full Sized, Full Tone

A 16-inch-wide semi-hollow with deep cutaways and a lightweight centerblock, the DC offers a massively wide range of tones and remarkable sustain.

Seymour Duncans with Coil Splitting

Featuring our long-standing favorite pairing of Seymour Duncan humbuckers—a 59 in the neck position and an SH-4 in the bridge position. This set provides savory and articulate tone, plus coil-splitting push/pull tone knobs allow for single-coil sparkle while still retaining output volume. ⁠

Classic D’Angelico aesthetics and signature details.

A focus on clean lines, smart textures and Art Deco flourishes imbues each instrument with the warmth and sleekness of New York City music history.
