The D’Angelico Excel Gramercy is a really well-built instrument offering a lot of value. That solid top/mahogany combo gives it a surprisingly full sound, and the Fishman pickup is genuinely usable for gigging. It’s a great option for intermediate players looking for a classy-looking, versatile acoustic-electric with a comfortable feel.
