D'Angelico Guitars Excel 59 6-String Single-Cutaway Hollow Body Electric Guitar with Stairstep Tailpiece, 22 Frets, C-Shape Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, Gray/Black

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.
