ORIGINAL ARCHTOP DESIGN
John D’Angelico’s original archtop design is legend, and the EXL-1 is its modern-day counterpart. True to the original in every detail and upgraded in 2018, the EXL-1 features a USA-made Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith Floating Mini-Humbucker to maximize the acoustic tone of its commanding 17-inch-wide, 3-inch-deep body. Art Deco-inspired details frame the EXL-1—with a scroll-style neck bevel, mother-of-pearl inlays on an ebony bridge, and split-block inlays on a pau ferro fingerboard.
SEYMOUR DUNCAN JOHNNY SMITH FLOATING MINI-HUMBUCKER
Paired with wide open archtop body design, a Seymour Duncan USA Custom Shop Johnny Smith Floating Mini-Humbucker gives the Excel EXL-1 its legendary warm acoustic tone.
FLOATING EBONY BRIDGE
Referencing a number of John D’Angelico’s original archtop designs, a floating ebony bridge with two subtle mother-of-pearl inlays add to the EXL-1’s woody tone.
SLIM C-SHAPE NECK
Gone are the days where big guitars are unplayable. The Excel EXL-1 features a friendly slim-C neck shape for all players.

This guitar went from the factory to their authorized refurbisher, where it received a full multi-point inspection and expert setup - it is ready to play! There is a visible repair at the very top of the decorative headstock - see the photos. It has been securely glued, coated, and sealed, and is solid and stable - no impact on the function or sound of the guitar. No other visible repairs were necessary, and no modifications were made except the back of the headstock was stamped USED. I acquired this guitar from the refurbisher, and there has been no other owner. This EXCELLENT, NEAR MINT guitar has not been played except for setup and testing.
Check-out the videos on YouTube and more information on the company website. This is a Great guitar at a Great Price!
Enjoy!
