    Stemming from the deepest roots of the brand's rich history, D'Angelico is proud to introduce the Excel 16.

     

    D'Angelico Excel 16 Hollowbody Guitar Features:

    • An all-new 16" wide archtop
    • Punchy, woody and sweet tone
    • Slightly shallower body depth that maintains a full-bodied warmth
    • Flame Maple back & sides with a Spruce top
    • 3-Piece Maple/Walnut set-neck with Ebony fretboard
    • Thicker C-shape neck with 12” fretboard radius
    • Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith mini neck humbucker
    • Floating Ebony Wood bridge
    • Deluxe Hardshell case included

     

    The Excel 16 is an all-new 16-inch-wide archtop offering undeniably punchy, woody and sweet tone that immediately recalls classic New York City jazz. A happy medium for traditional jazz players looking for an instrument that is easier to wield than its larger counterparts, the Excel 16 has a slightly shallower body depth at 2.75" but still yields all the full-bodied warmth one desires from an archtop. A 12" fingerboard radius and slightly thicker C-shape neck create remarkable comfort—equal parts hefty and fast-playing. The Excel 16's acoustic resonance is complemented by either a Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith Floating Mini Humbucker that maximizes top sustain or a Seymour Duncan '59 Humbucker, for those in pursuit of bold and balanced tones that can more easily cut through in a larger band setting. Available in Amber and Amaretto Burst.
