About the D'Angelico EXL-1 Throwback
True to John D’Angelico’s original archtop design in every detail, the Excel EXL-1 Throwback is a 17-inch-wide, 3-inch-deep archtop strapped with only a single floating mini-humbucker.
Paired with wide open archtop body design, a Seymour Duncan USA Custom Shop Johnny Smith Floating Mini-Humbucker gives the Excel EXL-1 its legendary warm acoustic tone.
Matching the new Throwback Collection scroll-style headstock, a satin-finished macassar ebony pickguard adds comfort, style, and old-school swag.
Designed by John D’Angelico in the 1940s, the new Throwback Scroll-style headstock design offers a more minimalistic, contemporary take on the opulent D’Angelico headstock design.
