D'Angelico Excel SS Soho Dark Cherry Burst Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar with Gig Bag

General

Designed in collaboration with jazz icon Mark Whitfield and inspired by the city that never sleeps, the D’Angelico Excel SS Soho is stylish ode to the streets of New York. The laminated spruce top is supported by a flamed maple back and matching sides, laying down a warm and airy base for the single Kent Armstrong "Jazzy Joe" floating mini-humbucker planted at the bridge. The result is stunning tone backed up by lush basses and articulate mids - everything you need to spin dynamic leads. This straight-up jazz-box has been built in South Korea and comes complete with a form-fitting gig bag.

The D’Angelico Excel SS Soho: Deluxe Detailing

Every bit of this semi-hollow wonder has been sensitively thought out. The headstock bears the D’Angelico logo in mother-of-pearl as well as the deco-style Excel Series Shield. Even the ebony fretboard has been richly decorated with mother-of-pearl split-block position markers and the Dark Cherry Burst lacquer job matches perfectly with the gold-plated hardware and the mouth-watering, five-ply ebony pickguard. While the look and sound pack plenty of swag, it's the smooth and effortless playability that really put the cherry on top of this tasty six-string cake. The flattened 16 inch fretboard radius supports a light feel beneath the fingers and couples with a full pack of twenty-two 22 Jescar 47/104 nickel-silver frets and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut to ensure near-flawless intonation, while the Grover 509 Super Rotomatic locking tuners expertly stabilise the tuning.
