The EXL1 Amber is a beautifully crafted instrument, really nailing that vintage jazz tone. That Seymour Duncan '59 gives it a fantastic growl, and the neck profile is seriously comfortable. This is an excellent choice for jazz, blues, and classic rock players seeking a premium-priced, hollowbody experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' profile is relatively standard, but the walnut core adds a subtle stiffness that prevents it from feeling too soft or floppy.
The amber finish is a nitrocellulose lacquer, so it’s relatively thin and will develop a pleasing patina over time with proper care. It's more delicate than a poly finish, though.
The '59 humbucker leans towards a warmer, more vintage tone, providing a balanced output and plenty of character without excessive distortion.
