The Excel EXL-1 Throwback from D'Angelico has been beautifully crafted in design to offer and create that antique Jazz-style tone encompassed in a luxury Hollowbody, semi-acoustic-style tone. All complete with a branded hardshell case. 

A vintage spin on our flagship model, the Excel EXL-1 Throwback embodies the legacy of fine archtops. A 17-inch-wide, 3-inch-deep body emanates warm, woody archtop tone propelled by a single floating Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith mini-humbucker. And visually—it's hard to look away. Old-school full-fret mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays on an ebony fingerboard lead to a scroll-style headstock designed by John D'Angelico in the 30s, while a satin ebony pickguard meets a spruce top featuring multi-bound Throwback f-holes.
