The guitars of D'angelico are inspiring in every way. In the first place they are beautiful to look at, but next to that D'Angelico guitars live up to all expectations with regard to sound and build quality.
The New York based guitar company has a rich history and is famous for their iconic jazz boxes. However, the current collection of D'angelico offers a wide collection of cool solid body, ES-style and off-set guitars as well.
The Excell Mini DC is D'angelico's top-of-the-line double cut, 14" center block / semi-hollowbody. In other words; an ES type according to classic recipe, but very well done. ES-339 to be exact, so a relatively small-size for a hollowbody.
The versatility of these guitars keeps surprising us. The Excel DC is an perfect example of this, a guitar with which you could pretty much play any style. The DC lays down a solid foundation of guitar sound in any situation that is just different from all other traditional and iconic guitar models.
Compared to the regular DC, this Mini DC is just a bit brighter and more pointed; simply, its body is comparatively more solid, less hollow. In addition, this Limited Edition has slightly different specifications than the regular Excell Mini DC. The body is also made of laminated maple with a laminated maple top but the maple set neck has a rosewood fingerboard (instead of ebony) with 16" radius, Grover Super Rotomatic tuners and the guitar has a 24.75" radius. And to top it off, this LTD is equipped with the prestigious Seymour Duncan Antiquity Retrospec humbuckers.
The high gloss Rust finish makes a wonderful contrast with the matte hardware and rosewood pickguard, super tasteful!
This guitar comes with original case.
