D'Angelico Excel SS XT Iced Tea Burst Quilt

AN OPULENT SPIN ON A FAN FAVORITE

Featuring the Throwback Scroll-Style headstock and a decadent Laminated Quilt Maple top, the Excel SS XT offers unique upgrades to our standout single-cutaway semi-hollow. With a deep single cutaway, slim C-shape neck profile, and highly wieldable 15-inch-wide body shape, the Excel SS guarantees comfort for all players. Designed to adapt across genres, the Excel SS features Seymour Duncan 59 humbuckers for massive tonal range, while its centerblock fights off feedback and yields massive sustain. Features a rosewood fingerboard, premium Jescar 47104 fretwire, and vintage-inspired Grover Imperial tuners. Available in Vintage Natural and Iced Tea Burst.

LAMINATED QUILT MAPLE TOP

You asked and so you shall receive. Our two most popular semi-hollows are now available with a laminated quilt maple top for a vintage-inspired visual feast.

SEYMOUR DUNCAN 59’S WITH COIL-SPLITTING

Equal parts rich and clear across the tonal spectrum, USA Seymour Duncan 59 humbuckers offer vintage-inspired tones and remarkable articulation. Paired with coil-splitting push/pull tone knobs for maximum versatility.

THROWBACK SCROLL-STYLE HEADSTOCK

Featuring our Throwback Scroll-style Headstock shape, the Excel SS XT pays homage to the early days of John D’Angelico’s work, including 7-ply purfling and our throwback Excel Series inlay.
