Vintage Inspiration and Modern Versatility, in a Slightly Smaller Form
The D’Angelico Excel Mini DC semi-hollowbody electric guitar provides the same unparalleled playing experience, superior craftsmanship, and tonal versatility as the Excel DC but with a slightly smaller stature that blends refined aesthetics, retro flair, and a touch of contemporary sensibilities. Its all-maple, semi-hollowbody construction supplies ample warmth accented by hints of brightness for a rich, balanced tone that serves as a canvas primed for coloration by a set of energized Seymour Duncan 59/SH-4 humbucking pickups. The double-cutaway design grants you unfettered access to the entirety of the agile ebony fingerboard, and a 3-piece C-shaped neck showcases a layering of maple and walnut tonewoods, providing a comfortable profile for every style of playing. From rock to blues to jazz to country, the Excel Mini DC executes both nuance and boldness with a dignified grace only further exemplified by its vintage-inspired aesthetic composed of ebony-carved control knobs, a 5-ply Scalini pickguard, mother-of-pearl inlays, and art-deco-styled appointments. Whether improvising jazz runs down at the lounge or cranking out power chords at the local dive, the D’Angelico Excel Mini DC shines on any stage.
Exceptional tonewoods in a blue-chip design
A double-cutaway, semi-hollowbody electric guitar is about as classically cool as it gets. When reinforced with a solid center block for feedback control and paired with a 3-piece maple/walnut neck topped with a lightning-fast ebony fingerboard, your guitar goes from being a mid-century marvel to a modern workhorse, just like the Excel Mini DC. This guitar sports a 14-inch body, slightly scaled down in size from the 16-inch model, making it that much more adaptable to your particular style of playing. Expertly crafted to lay down the cleanest studio tracks and light up any stage, this guitar boasts a beautifully balanced tonal profile imbued with rich resonance and a hint of brightness carried forward through controlled dynamics and ample sustain. Likewise, a C-profile set neck, 22-fret fingerboard, and 24.75-inch scale ensure you can achieve every possible chord voicing and lead phrasing. Finally, whether sending this guitar straight into a tube amp or navigating a chain of dirt and modulation effects first, Sweetwater’s sultans of the semi-hollowbody find that the Excel Mini DC remains incredibly adaptable to any number of unique rig setups, always delivering the purest tone.
Voiced by a classic pairing of Seymour Duncan humbuckers
While the expertly sculpted tonewoods are unrelenting contributors to the sonic character of the Excel Mini DC, a set of gold-covered Seymour Duncan humbuckers provides the voicing that permits such expansive performance across styles and music genres. In the neck position, you’ll find a PAF-style 59, a fan favorite of D’Angelico enthusiasts for its scooped midrange and vintage-correct sound. In the bridge position sits an SH-4 humbucker, one of Seymour Duncan’s most popular pickup models due to its high-octane output and energized drive. Perfectly complementary, this pairing articulates smooth cleans, gritty gain, and soaring leads for the ultimate experience in versatile expression.
The D’Angelico legacy
After mastering his craft during an 18-year apprenticeship, luthier John D’Angelico opened his own shop in Manhattan’s Little Italy in 1932. Catering to New York’s many jazz musicians over the ensuing three decades, D’Angelico and a single apprentice became New York’s foremost stringed instrument builders, creating over one thousand treasured archtop guitars until John’s death in 1964. After his passing, the D’Angelico legacy lived on only through his rare, legendary instruments. After decades, the D’Angelico brand has resurfaced, bringing back the playability and attention to detail of the company’s New York roots. Today, Sweetwater is delighted to offer this fine line of distinguished instruments. D’Angelico uses state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the finest available materials to create playable works of art for today’s guitarists. From a modest shop in Little Italy to the world stage, D’Angelico’s dedication to quality craftsmanship ensures that this brand won’t go dormant again.
