D'Angelico EXL-1
Summary: John D’Angelico’s original archtop design is legend, and the EXL-1 is its modern-day counterpart. True to the original in every detail and upgraded, the EXL-1 features a USA-made Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith Floating Mini-Humbucker to maximize the acoustic tone of its commanding 17-inch-wide, 3-inch-deep body. Art Deco-inspired details frame the EXL-1—with a scroll-style neck bevel, mother-of-pearl inlays on an ebony bridge, and split-block inlays on a pau ferro fingerboard.
Body: Laminated Spruce top with laminated Maple back/sides finished in a gloss blue burst style color.
Neck: Bound Pau Ferro fingerboard, 25.5” scale length, 16” radius, pearl block inlays, 24 frets.
Pickups/Hardware: One Johnny Smith floating mini-humbucker, imperial style tuning keys, tortoiseshell pickguard, master volume/master tone controls, harp style tailpiece.
Cosmetics: This guitar is in excellent condition. It shows very little signs of use. The gold hardware has slightly tarnished. The back of the neck is clean and smooth and the frets are in great shape.
Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has inspected, setup, and restrung this guitar with a new set of flat wound strings. The neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functional, and the action has been setup low and comfortable. The frets are in great shape with no major grooves or divots from use and it plays beautifully up and down the fretboard with no dead spots or choking out.
