The Excel DC is a standout double-cutaway semi-hollow offering classic tones and modern versatility. With deep, comfortable cutaways and a slim C-shape neck profile offsetting its 16-inch-wide body shape, the Excel DC's playability is remarkable. Seymour Duncan 59 humbuckers provide an impressive tonal range of vintage-voiced warmth to glassy high-end, while its center block fights off feedback at high volumes. Now featuring a rosewood fingerboard, Jescar 47104 fretwire, and vintage-inspired Grover Imperial tuners. Now available in Vintage Natural, Viola, and Black Dog.

Rosewood Fingerboard
A rosewood fingerboard ensures a rich tone with rounded highs, warm mids and great sustain. Featuring a modern radius and medium jumbo fretwire from Jescar for unparalleled tone and control.
Grover Imperial Tuners
Grover Imperial tuners inspired by vintage D’Angelico’s from the 40s and 50s ensure consistent and accurate tuning with a 16:1 gear ratio.
Seymour Duncan 59s with Coil Splitting
Equal parts rich and clear across the tonal spectrum, USA Seymour Duncan 59 humbuckers offer vintage-inspired tones and remarkable articulation. Paired with coil-splitting push/pull tone knobs for maximum versatility.
C-Shape Neck
No matter the player, no matter the hands, a C-shape neck and 16-inch fingerboard radius makes for supreme playability free of wrist-ache.
