D'Angelico Excel 59

The meanest lil Jazz box we could find, the D'Angelico Excel 59 is a killer arch top that has been modded with p-90s to reach new sonic levels. 

This guitar is in a beautiful Natural finish that really highlights the maples flame!

A throwback to a time defined by its style, the Excel 59 was originally designed by John D'Angelico in 1959. Returning as a modern option for a vast range of players, the 59 is a 17-inch-wide archtop equipped with P-90s -- ideal for indie rock, jazz with a bite, and every inventive style in between. Featuring retro cream knobs, a chicken-head rotary pickup selector, and D'Angelico's signature Stairstep tailpiece, the 59 is incomparable in vibe.
