D'angelico Excel Mini DC Tour Solid Black

POWERFUL TONES IN A COMPACT PACKAGE

Reimagining a fan favorite in the D'Angelico lineup, the Mini DC found in the Excel Series Tour Collection is a minimalistic powerhouse designed with the traveling player in mind. The Excel Mini DC Tour is a fourteen-inch-wide double cutaway semi-hollow featuring the all-new Supro Bolt Buckers—a custom set of pickups that provide powerful vintage-inspired tones and a seemingly endless sweet spot. The neck pickup acts as a wooly hearth while the bridge pickup provides snap that steers clear of harshness. The Mini DC Tour's undersized body provides a remarkably comfortable playing experience while a refined Throwback Scroll-Style headstock equipped with custom Vintage Deluxe tuners from Grover strike excellent head to body balance. With plenty of sustain and a singing midrange, the Mini DC Tour was born for the stage.

VINTAGE-INSPIRED MINIMALISM

A 14-inch-wide semi-hollow with deep cutaways and a lightweight centerblock, the Mini DC is a highly wieldable, remarkably versatile semi-hollow offering both punch and nuance. No pickguard and 1930s-inspired diamond f-holes bring old-school charm.

NEW SUPRO PICKUPS

Supro’s take on the most sought-after P.A.F. Humbuckers, Bolt Buckers provide bold, vintage-inspired clarity. Warm and balanced yet offering growling tones, Bolt Buckers are infused with old-school Supro attitude, utilizing an Alnico 2 magnet in the neck and Alnico 5 in the bridge to create the perfect pair.

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

A 12-inch fingerboard radius and medium jumbo fretwire on an ebony fingerboard make for effortless playability. Paired with a C-shape neck with extra thickness in the shoulder for snug hand-fit and added sustain.

A REFINED ALTERNATIVE

Custom tuners from Grover offer a 15:1 gear ratio, providing precise tuning and contributing to a lightweight headstock. A satin nickel finish and cream buttons offer vintage-inspired minimalism, while an undersized Throwback headstock with 5-ply binding offers an understated alternative to the typically ornate D’Angelico aesthetic.
