D'Angelico Excel Mini DC Stop-Bar Black Dog

What we say:

At A Glance:

D'Angelico's Excel Mini DC is a beautiful smaller-bodied semi-hollow guitar that features a player-friendly design, quality hardware and the signature D'Angelico appointments that will set it aside from regular hollowbody guitars. From the C-shape neck profile, to the Seymour Duncan '59 humbuckers and ornate embellishments, this is a stylish and great sounding guitar that won't get in the way of your playing.

We love this guitar's vintage aesthetic and think it would make a great investment for a student guitarist or a regular gigging guitar for professional musicians.

Features We Love:

Compact Design

The guitar features an undersized 14-inch-wide body and a compact headstock design, but maintains a standard 24.75" scale length. Making this a great option for smaller sized players or players who want to be active on stage, without compromising string tension or tone.

Seymour Duncan '59 Humbuckers with Coil-Splitting

The Seymour Duncan '59 set taps into that classic P.A.F tone, these wax potted humbuckers use alnico 5 bar magnets to allow playing at louder volumes and give the guitar a sweet vintage tone without compromising clarity. To maximise the guitar's range of tones, the humbuckers can be split to give the guitar an authentic single-coil sound that sounds great on clean and overdriven tones.

Slim-C and Modern Radius

The use of a set neck with a "C" profile and a 14-inch fingerboard radius makes this an incredibly easy guitar to play, even for smaller players, without compromising sustain or tone.

Highlights:

• Smaller size promotes comfort and playability
• Quality build and tones makes this an ideal option for gigging guitarists
• Hardtail construction offers great tuning stability
