D'Angelico Excel Style B
The D'Angelico Excel Style B in Amber finish is a stunning homage to the golden era of archtop guitars, exuding timeless elegance and jazz-era charm. Its warm, honeyed amber hue brings out the intricate grain of the wood beneath, offering a rich visual depth that complements the guitar’s refined curves and art-deco design elements.
