We've had a lot of guitars come through Brothers Guitar Shop over the years, and every now and then one catches everyone by surprise. This is one of those guitars. The D'Angelico Excel Tour Collection feels, sounds, and plays like an instrument that's in a completely different price bracket. Between the flawless craftsmanship, gorgeous Solid Wine finish, and the articulate voice of the Seymour Duncan pickups, this is an absolute sleeper in today's market. Every time one comes through the shop, we're reminded just how much guitar D'Angelico packed into this series.
Inspired by New York City's rich guitar-making heritage, the Excel Tour Collection blends timeless Art Deco styling with modern performance. Its laminated flame maple semi-hollow body and center block deliver the warmth, air, and resonance you'd expect from a classic semi-hollow while keeping feedback under control when the gain comes up. Whether you're playing jazz, blues, indie, classic rock, worship, or fusion, this guitar responds beautifully to every nuance of your playing.
The slim C-shaped neck and ebony fingerboard feel fast and effortless, while the pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers produce everything from warm, smoky cleans to rich overdrive with exceptional clarity and definition. Premium appointments like Grover locking tuners, a Graph Tech NuBone nut, gold hardware, and D'Angelico's signature Stairstep tailpiece complete an instrument that looks every bit as refined as it sounds.
