Hot or Not? D'Angelico Excel 59

[Rick 381]

EXCEL 59NEW FOR 2021
The all-new Excel 59 is an old-school gem and modern spin on a John D'Angelico original designed in 1959. The 59's 16-inch-wide, 1.75-inch-deep, fully hollow body paired with an ebony fingerboard offers woody tone and crisp articulation. It features custom Seymour Duncan Great Dane P90s, exclusive to D'Angelico, offering a massive range of tones—from warm and wooly to big and brash. All paired with vintage-inspired details like a chickenhead selector and cupcake knobs, the 59 feels timeless. Available in Vintage Natural, Viola, and Black Dog with a D'Angelico Shield Tremolo.

WHERE TO BUY

 

[LeftyTom]

Tis pretty

 

[BlockInlay]

The headstock makes me think about a xenomorph’s naughty bits. I need professional help.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Sadly the gold hardware keeps me from liking it. With silver or chrome I'd be much more excited.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Hot.

 

[tiger roach]

Yum

 

[PunkKitty]

Nice specs. I hate the headstock. I'd like it better if it was a full hollow body instead of a thin hollow body.

 

[B Valley]

I love all of it but the headstock and tuners.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I am one of those weirdoes who loves that headstock.

Greatest headstock ever!

...Says the guy with the Mehndi-themed tele...

 

[Mark Wein]

I like that.

 

[Honkridge]

I dig, but I don't really like that color

 

[Motorik]

Needs a bigsby.

 

[Tiltsta]

It is OK.

Needs a bigsby.

 

[jp_nyc]

I wouldn’t go as far as hot, but definitely attractive.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I've never been into the deco aesthetic, so it's a pass for me.

 

[Peen Simmons]

I think it’s nice looking enough. If I were in the market for that sort of thing, I’d give it a whirl.

 

[reverend1]

It’s ok
