D'Angelico Excel Style B Electric Guitar (Hollowbody - Dark Iced Tea Burst)

A JAZZ AGE ICON. A faithful replica of John D'Angelico's rhythm-focused archtop and go-to model throughout the 1930's, the Style B is an old-school non-cutaway archtop embodying the spirit of New York City jazz. With a 24.75" scale length and only 20 frets, the Style B is easy to wield and offers naturally rich, mellow tone. A redesigned neck shape offers improved handfit and sustain while still prioritizing remarkable comfort. And offered for the first time ever in the standard D'Angelico line, the Style B welcomes back the legendary DeArmond Rhythm Chief pickup, often seen on original D'Angelico's of the late 30s and 40s. Played acoustic, the Style B offers woody, warm tone, and thanks to the transparency of the DeArmond pickup, its amplified sound is much the same. Features include Grover hardware, an ebony fingerboard, and Jescar fretwire. Available in Dark Iced Tea Burst and Amber.

LEGEND OF THE JAZZ ERA. Modeled after the very first D’Angelico archtops developed in the 1930s, the Style B offers old school, woody tone and a timeless aesthetic.

DeARMOND RHYTHM CHIEF. Often seen as an after-market addition on originally-acoustic D’Angelico’s of the late 30s and 40s, the DeArmond Rhythm Chief single-coil pickup returns to provide exceptionally balanced and rich tone.

VINTAGE INSPIRATION. Borrowing from several different iterations of John D’Angelico’s ever-changing archtop designs, the new Style B features diamond-shaped f-holes, and a Throwback headstock.

CLASSIC FORMULA. With only twenty frets and a 24.75” scale length, the Style B’s unique formula yields the same warm tone as non-cutaways of the 1930s.
