D'Angelico - Excel Style B Amber

With the Excel Style B Amber, D’Angelico unveils a guitar that pays homage to the great archtop guitars of yesteryear, featuring an amber finish under a gloss varnish reminiscent of whisky aged in oak barrels. With no cutaway, the Non-Cutaway silhouette boasts a bold, clean-lined design, far removed from modern compromises.

The hollow-body body, measuring 431.80 mm wide by 76.20 mm deep, is constructed with a laminated spruce top paired with laminated flamed maple sides and back: the wood breathes, and the body responds with a rich, full resonance. The floating ebony bridge transmits every vibration with character, a raw and vibrant quality.

The three-piece neck, with a C-profile, widens from 21 mm at the first fret to 23 mm at the twelfth, beneath an ebony fingerboard with a scale length of 304.80 mm. Its 20 Jescar 47/104 frets, Graph Tech NuBone XL nut and gold-plated Grover 150 Imperial tuners keep the tuning stable, night after night.

The DeArmond Rhythm Chief 1000 pickup, featuring an Alnico V magnet and mounted on the neck, captures the mellow nuances of traditional jazz with a simple volume/tone control. Stairstep tailpiece, 5-ply Scalini tortoise-shell pickguard, gold-plated locking strap pins: every detail bears witness to its heritage. Made in Korea, it comes in a Deluxe Hardshell case.
