The D’Angelico Excel SS Trans Cherry is a seriously classy semi-hollow that’s surprisingly versatile. The Duncan 59s give you a warm, creamy tone that's fantastic for jazz, blues, and even some rock. It’s a great choice for players wanting a refined look and feel without sacrificing playability or that signature semi-hollow resonance.

Frequently Asked Questions
The center block significantly reduces feedback and adds sustain compared to a fully hollow body, offering a more controlled and focused sound.
The push/pull pots are primarily used for tone control adjustments, offering a wider range of tonal shaping possibilities rather than coil splitting.
The Slim C profile is thinner than some of D’Angelico’s vintage-inspired necks; while comfortable for most, players with very large hands might prefer a slightly thicker profile.
