Sturdy 3-piece laminate neck A sturdy neck is key to any touring musician’s 6-string, and it doesn’t get much sturdier than this D’Angelico’s 3-piece set-through design. Two pieces of rock-hard maple are laminated together with a stripe of walnut in the middle for incredible structural stability, ensuring your neck remains unphased from the onslaught of stage lights, temperature changes, and day-to-day use. All together, the dark ebony fingerboard, the 22 medium-jumbo frets, the 12-inch fingerboard radius, and the pleasing “C” profile provide wide-ranging playability ready to tackle any style. Thunderous Supro Bolt humbuckers This Excel Tour series instrument comes loaded with a pair of Supro Bolt Bucker pickups for a touch of raw power to complement its D’Angelico elegance! These humbucking pickups boast warm, rich tone with a surprising level of sonic clarity and detail, allowing guitarists to swap between raunchy garage rock crunch and jazzy cleans with the flick of a knob. Finally, true to the no-nonsense philosophy of the Excel Tour series, this guitar forgoes the traditional 4-knob setup for a far more stage-friendly 2-knob volume and tone control scheme — a superior setup when making quick on-the-fly adjustments. D'Angelico: a history of guitar accolades After mastering his craft during an 18-year apprenticeship, luthier John D’Angelico opened his own shop in Manhattan’s Little Italy in 1932. Catering to New York’s many jazz musicians over the ensuing three decades, D’Angelico and a single apprentice became New York’s foremost stringed instrument builders, creating over one thousand treasured archtop guitars until John’s death in 1964. Following his passing, D’Angelico’s legacy lived on only through his rare, legendary instruments. After decades, the D’Angelico brand has resurfaced, bringing back the playability and attention to detail of the company’s New York roots. Today, Sweetwater is delighted to offer this fine line of distinguished instruments. D’Angelico uses state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the finest available materials to create playable works of art for today’s guitarist. From a modest shop in Little Italy to the world stage, D’Angelico’s dedication to quality craftsmanship ensures that this brand won’t be going dormant again any time soon.
